This made me so grumpy
I can’t roll my eyes harder at this book. She’s a perfectly perfect Harvard grad PhD who threw the Olympic trials in swimming and disowned her rich family and he’s obscenely rich but a fireman, a bad mafia man but also a hero. They are both ridiculously hot. 😒
This reminds me a lot of Breathe by Kristen Ashley except the heroine isn’t a bonehead, she’s dumb, don’t get me wrong, but she’s not quite as dim as Faye.
This hero is way too big of an asshole who does not care about her boundaries and seems to really hate women. I am just not into J/P bulldozers, 2024 is the year of the golden retriever hero for me.
But mostly this book is sex, it happens quickly and the plot takes a back seat to the kinky dom/sub style scenes. If you’re interested in a stalker possessive asshole who bullies a completely unrealistic, perfect woman into sex over and over, then go ahead and try this. The narration of the audiobook was good but Joe Arden was barely in this and the woman narrator did a bad man voice. Duet would have been way better, considering most of the dirty dialogue took place in the heroine’s POV.
But mostly I hated this hero, like hated him. And the twist at the end was all kinds of what the fuck. This author’s Killers series seems to be the only one I can tolerate. The rest are just not great.
