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.

It's....meh.
I read the last book of this series first (Madam Lynn's story) and I really liked it. This one just wasn't it.
Some of my issues with it: the therapist sucked (shouldn't have offered her tissues, didn't actually work w/ Dahlia to solve her problems and how many times can you ask "how did that make you feel??)
the bdsm wasn't that great nor was it the focus. it was spicy and it was hot, but I wanted more of a fleshed out D/s relationship.
and I guess the "growth" that the couple went through wasn't very fleshed out either. nothing seemed solved, and all Lucian wanted to do was to fix it for her? idk, it wasn't great, wasn't awful.

It's relatively well-written, but the plot is bare bones and the characters are two-dimensional. Giving them both a past is not actual characterization, and their relationship develops in about 2 pages. To each their own, but I prefer a lot more plot with my smut.
