Troubled MC or two? Check. Engaging plot with some unpredictable twists? Check. Hot as fuck sex scenes with through-the-roof chemistry? Check, check, check. (although it seems the author doesn’t believe in the refractory period…)
I liked it more than my usual 3 star reads, but less than 4. It wasn’t an especially ambitious book, but hey, no shaming, we all read those as well. It was a lot less brutal than I’d been expecting after reading the blurb, though. Didn’t shake me quite as much as I’d like. What that says about me - I don’t wanna know…
Something about the writing kept bothering me. I have a bit of an unrepentant grammar Nazi in me, and there was this weird sentence structure that popped up A LOT when the author wanted to put an emphasis on something. It went like this: subject - comma - rest of the sentence. It was fucking weird and disrupted my reading experience. Also, the plot structure could be a little smoother; at about 30% I had the feeling I was reading two separate books instead of one when the plot did a complete 180, from torture to loving touches.

It would be a stretch either way, but some attempt could’ve been made to make it all more believable.
All in all it was an enjoyable read.… (más)
