This wasn’t a great book… it was very poorly written which made it harder to feel in the world because I kept noticing how bad the writing was. Also,

the spice didn’t do it for me and it really bothered me that Lucian took their relationship public without Dahlia’s consent. And used pain to push her to disclose her rape. Plus the spice being so pain centric is not for me.

Lots of situations that made me strongly dislike the MMC and the FMC was so dumb and naive. And the ending felt rushed. Definitely not worth the time.

This had the bones to be an interesting read. However, the way that issues such as rape were handled just weren’t it for me. Their relationship didn’t feel realistic and I’m not in a rush to continue the series.

This book had me cuffed to it from the first chapter 👀.

She knows what's coming.
She’s earned this.
She lied to me.
And she’s going to be punished.

I wasn't able to put it down and I didn't want to.

Every time I fuck you until you can’t breathe, it’s because I know you need it.

Smut wise I would give it a good 🌶🌶🌶🌶/5.

Spicy chapters ⬇️

11, 14, 21, 23, 25. Enjoy 👀🔥

This book includes ⬇️ 
Bdsm d/s dynamic ✔️ 
Being auctioned for one month✔️ 

My treasure.

Enjoy 👀🔥
