Kristen Ashley knows how to make me cry

Frey Drakker is so goddamn hot. Seriously. That mouth on him? Deliciously filthy.

Finnie? I loved that she has a backbone and knows how to stand up for herself but at the same time, she's freaking sunshiny and sweet most of the time. She's stubborn yes, but that only makes her perfect for Frey because he needs someone who could deal with his grumpy ass.

But what I really love about Kristen Ashley books are those gut-punch moments. I get on moods sometimes where I want to read something that hurts and makes me cry. There were a couple of those moments in this book that made me cry like a bitch. Ugh

Spoiler

When Finnie got jealous of Viola because she heard about the sexathon Frey had with that maid and he had Viola serve Finnie during a dinner? It hurt. I was right there with Finnie. His sexual past is understandable, especially because it's supposed to be what's normal in that culture, but I couldn't get over the fact that he did that to Finnie intentionally.

That huge argument they had when Finnie found out about what Frey had done? Which is to bind her to that world and change her contraceptive powders? That was bad, Frey. I was so mad. It's something that he really should have talked to her about. Then what happened next happened.

I hated that Frey got out of these situations without proper remorse and groveling.

PS Am I the only one who automatically sings the Taylor Swift song when I see this title?
