  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

This book was drastically better than Twisted Love for two reasons: a realistic plot and the absence of Alex Volkov. The first half of the book really exceeded my expectations, but then the story just kept dragging on and on despite the time skips. Had this book been like 200 pages shorter I would have rated it around 3.5 stars — if you like porn with absolutely no plot, then you should like the latter half of this book. It could have been closer to 4 stars if Rhys wasn't so possessive and aggressive. Hell, CAN'T I ENJOY CONSENSUAL DOMINANCE IN A SEXUAL CONTEXT WITHOUT THE MAN BEING VIOLENT IN NONSEXUAL SITUATIONS AS WELL?? That's extremely unsexy, anger issues do not turn me on. Also, I guessed the plot twist in the very beginning,
the one where Rhys is revealed to be of noble Eldorran descent and they get married. (but if Rhys is the brother of Bridget's cousin, doesn't it make Rhys and Bridget half-cousins??? ew.)
