I am usually not a big fan of dark romances. The cover of this book was just too pretty, and I was a moth to the flame. I am really glad I read this!💕

There are a ton of TW's, but the FMC Abigail and MMC Leo had discussed the majority of it prior before the crazy act itself. Yes, it was dirty. Yes, it was cruel and rough. Did I enjoy it? Maybe, but it was more due to the fact that I was so curious about how far it would all go. The angst and drama were *chefs kiss* and I like that their relationship eventually softened slightly into one of mutual trust. 

Romance wise? I was not completely feeling the connection between them. It felt sudden when they confessed their love for each other, like one minute they are doing the dirty, seconds later they are suddenly in love. No romantic build-up. 

I am happy to say, though, that I enjoyed reading this. It was my first time seeing how rough sex (and I mean brutally rough) could actually be something healthy for those involved rather than something to fear. I'm definitely not saying it's for me, but I liked dipping my toes into this world! 🐥💗
