I am so grateful to have been gifted with the opportunity to read this ARC by Victoria Lum through BookFunnel.
This was my first billionaire, age gap book and it was...interesting. This book does touch on many traumatic topics that can easily trigger, so please keep that in mind and read the Author's note prior to moving forward. At first, I was not sure about how I felt about the book but as the story went on, I was in it. It gave me soap opera vibes and I was down for it. The shocking twists and dizzying turns kept me from putting the story down! I welcomed the crazy drama!
The traumatic parts were difficult to read so it definitely made me root for the "I will burn the world down" and "I will destroy anyone who hurt you" moments 10x more. This book has a sprinkle of BDSM and is pretty spicy.
There were quite a bit of characters introduced so it was a bit hard to keep up with who was who. I know this was a book written to be #4 in a series and could be read as a standalone but I think I would have been more connected to the story and the characters if I read the books in order to get to know everyone better.
