I’m not really sure how to describe my feelings toward this book. I’ve been wanting to read something from this author since seeing her on tiktok and thought this book (of all 4) would be a good start since it’s the most popular. I decided that I’d break them up into the separate books in case i couldn’t finish the big one which was a great idea. But I am honestly still processing this book. I liked the plot of the book but I didn’t like the whole captivity thing where she was being secluded. I know with it being a Mafia book, that happens but this was just different i guess. I normally love the whole dominating male character and the bdsm side of stuff but the whole depriving here of vital things just didn’t sit right with me. I’m not saying I didn’t like it, it just wasn’t what I was expecting. I plan to read the other 3 but I will have to wait until I can rent the book again lol.
