’I have no idea what will happen to us. But Lex is opening me up to a world I never knew existed. One where the risk of losing my freedom is the most freedom I’ve ever felt.'

First of all, I’m a sucker for a good ride-or-die story – and Lauren Biel delivered just that.
Lex is the perfect example of a touch-her-and-die MMC and not only does he have the past to validate this trope, he also proves it again and again during the book. I liked the way he fought his own inner conflict over and over again as much as I liked the FMC challenging him - and him her.
Maybe she’s precisely where she needs to be: a place where her demons can play freely with mine. Under the watchful eye of the wolf, the rabbit will live another day.
The balance between the main characters, in my opinion works so flawlessly because, albeit a completely different character, Selena fights a very similar internal battle.
Within their quickly evolving relationship, the two main characters complement each other inside the confines of their reality. What could be considered character growth was probably more of a perfectly executed merging. And while they increasingly converge, they never actively change each other.
’If I keep my grip on her throat just a few seconds longer, the conflict inside me will die with her.
I personally love Lauren Biel’s writing and plan on diving right into the next book. It’s easy to follow, pulls me right in and the spice scenes are *chef’s kiss*.
Once again, she excels in creating an entire world within a small space of setting. By expertly building a functional and enticing plot almost entirely atop the evolving dynamic between the main characters without relying on external plot drivers.
I’m destined for hell but her pussy is heaven, and I’ll be saved as long as I’m inside her.”
Although I loved the story and support a HEA and I can appreciate the difficulty of making this work in a realistic way, it’s not quite five stars for me personally because I wouldn’t have minded just one more conflict or close call. But that’s just my perception and I enjoyed the book either way.
Ready or not, rabbit, here I come!”
Overall, it was a well written and executed story that focused on the MMC chasing the FMC rather than them being chased by authorities and I’m all here for that. I’m also very happy that Lauren Biel blessed us with three more standalones within the ride-or-die genre and will probably dive right into the next one.
