SPICE: 3🌶, RATING: 4.25⭐️, VIBES: Speechless, dark & delicious, morally grey chaos, forbidden feels, can’t look away energy — 🎧🖤⛓️🫣🔥

Leigh Rivers has officially entered my read-everything-she-writes era. This book? A masterclass in writing dark, taboo romance that challenges you in the best way. It’s provocative, emotional, and absolutely unputdownable.

Olivia & Malachi? Whew. These two had me on edge — in awe, slightly horrified, and very invested. The tension? Immaculate. The dynamic? Twisted perfection.

Also, do yourself a favor and listen to the audiobook. The narration is chef’s kiss — it adds a whole new level of intensity. Honestly, I’m still recovering.

Consider me ruined (and ready for more). Leigh, you dangerous genius.
