4/10 I read this when I was going through something’s and it actually started pretty good. halfway through though..it got boring. very repetitive towards the end and you just don’t get a lot of background information on the characters.

why are most dark romances horrible? 4/10. bad bad portrayal of bdsm cause like the name the guy was just cruel. main guy was not redeemable at all and the girl should have made him grovel more.

2/10 was very disappointed with this cause I actually enjoyed the first. it jumped around a lot for being a novella and just threw in things that weren’t needed.

I gave this an 8.5/10 (I was in my spice era) this is literally just straight smut! I read it around the time that ghostface was blowing up so I enjoyed it

honestly the only thing I remember about this book is how bad it was and how hard it was to finish it! 1/10 very very poor story.

umm 8.5/10! love this book! the main character is amazing and actually likable! I would say the last 100ish pages dragged on but other than that I thought it had good plot

honestly this series has me hooked…no pun intended ;) I give this 7-7.5/10 just because the ending got a little messy but other than that it was a great story!

this is one that took me a little longer just because I was in a book slump but it was a little slow. 7/10 the ending was rushed again.
