Ok, this book was fantastic-freaking-tastic!! Please check triggers on this one, because it won’t be for everyone but it was gold for me.  Who doesn’t love a dark romance with dub-con, non-con, bullying, stalking, blood play, primal play breeding…..oh my gosh the list goes on! This book is my jam, these tropes are all me! Bel is a sweet girl who’s in college on a scholarship while caring for her sick mother. Drew is a football god who is rich and entitled. Bel caught Drew’s attention when she called him out for bullying someone in the library, and he became obsessed. The push and pull in this relationship is next level. This book was so freaking good, I got to the end and I was screaming! Who! What! How?!?!
