The Dark Rising by Kelly Cove

1.0

I really struggled with how to rate this one. I absolutely loved the first one. But this one? 

I'm all about dark romance. I'm ALL about enemies to lovers, but Darius should NEVER be the lover here. He beats her pretty brutally in book one. Obviously, there's a lot more that goes into it than that, and I was like okay. There's gonna be an explanation and a mega fucking grovel and we will see where that goes. Does that happen? No.

This man smashes down every boundary Rhea sets. He quite literally does whatever he wants. When she says no he ignores it. He will physically pick her up and take her where he wants. He leaves her locked in a room away from her pack so she can "rest" while she pounds and screams at the door and begs him to let her out.

When it comes to sex she CONSTANTLY tells him no. And he says because her body responds, it's fine 🙄.

Like I said I LOVE dark romance and I've read some fucked up mmcs and villian gets the girl but this just isn't that. He has no respect for her whatsoever and truly doesn't give a fuck what she wants and how she feels and I'm just over it. 

Will definitely not be continuing the series.
