I want everyone who recommended this book to be arrested.
I want everyone who looks at Dacre and sees a book husband to put down their ereaders, step outside, and touch some grass.
I’m all for the occasional dark romance, and I’ll be honest and say the spice in this book was seriously spicing (hence the shameful half a star added to the rating). But don’t lie to me or anyone else and say Dacre is serious book boyfriend material unless you’ve got a serious degradation kink, which I’m beginning to think the FMC does. He’s possessive, entitled, downright mean, and the FMC lets him just walk over her.
Not to mention the writing. I’m sorry this might be the worst book I’ve read this year so far. What plot? What world building? What romance????? This was lust, lust, and more lust. And if it hadn’t taken itself so damn seriously, I wouldn’t be either! But if this wants to be a real book series and not just mindless smut, then give me some actual substance of any kind please.
