4.75

First of all, the cover is gorgeous. It's what caught my attention to read the synopsis of this book. The synopsis was iffy for me, but after checking reviews, I decided to give this a chance. 
This book was enthralling. I couldn't stop turning the pages, driven by the curiosity of having to know what happened next. This is definitely a dark romance, where one must suspend your disbelief. With that being said, I enjoyed the internal struggle of both characters throughout the story and the growth of their feelings for each other. One minute, the MMC was cruel, and the next, he was tender. His emotional struggle was evident not only in the chapters from his POV but in the chapters from the FMC's POV. 
Overall, I give this story a 4.75. If you like dark romance, definitely give this one a try. If you like tortured heroes, definitely give this one a try. If you like obsessive hero, definitely give this one a try.
