5.0

5 stars!!!  

I loved everything about this book, from the action-packed plot that kept me in suspense the whole way through, to the relationship between Ashaya and Dorian which really got me in the feels. 

Ashaya was stuck in an impossible situation (she’s a Psy scientist who defected to save her son) and Dorian was drawn to both mother and son, even if he didn’t trust her. I loved this type of angst because it was rooted in how he misjudged her in the beginning, but by the end it felt like they really SAW each other. They were emotionally vulnerable and so attuned to each other’s feelings, and the “you hurt, I hurt” energy really got me. 🥺 

The way Dorian seduced Ashaya’s mind before her body was also very, very sexy. 

And just when I thought it couldn’t get better… the epilogue. My favourite part of the book, which bumped it from 4.75 stars to a solid 5. 

HAPPY TEARS. 🥹
