Undertow by Sam Mariano
4.0
4 stars
A quick, steamy and engaging read. The dynamic between Hayden and Gemma is very hunter/prey with a protective MMC twist - Gemma comes to him for help with a horrible neighbor, and Hayden is all “no one’s gonna push your boundaries but me”. The book flirts with a lot of dubcon but I wouldn’t call it a bully romance because Hayden never tries to tear her down. The emotional connection is quite insta-love, so it’s definitely more about the kink and steam. I liked this much more than I expected to.
Edit: I haven't read any other books by Sam Mariano, but apparently this is sweeter than the norm for her.
