I don’t recommend. This was such a disappointment. It really feels like a fan fiction.
Tedious. Melodramatic. Predictable. Clunky. Inauthentic. Unrealistic. Boring.
So many poorly handled tropes. Miscommunication. Alpha BS.
the sex scenes were dark but not erotic reading. the potential eroticism was unfulfilled (eg the spanking was rushed and clunky). The MMC’s possessiveness and control were off-putting. And I don’t buy the FMC’s submission to his foolish demands on debasing her and risking exposure and humiliation. Her sub tendencies arent maturely handled. Or justified through the writing or characterisation.
It reminded me a lot of my frustrations with Emma Chase’s Royally book series. And the silly tv series The Royals.
Each of those series fell short of the potential in the set up.
