So many emotions. Literally the sweetest ending for a book that is filled with so much kinky stuff. This book converted me, I’m a dark romance girly now

It isn’t that I didn’t like this book, I actually ended up getting very hooked but similar to other extra spicy books I’ve read, I was hoping for more plot. The book is primarily spicy scenes and the ones that aren’t, are just violent and reference sex. If you’re into dark romances this is perfect but if that’s not your thing, stay away. About halfway through I started seeing a twisty mystery coming into play and that’s when it really hooked me, I actually very much enjoyed our main characters, Ryat and Blakely, and was really rooting for them to grow into deeper characters. Ultimately, this is an acquired take. This is the first book in a standalone series so I might find my way back into the world of the Lords at some point again.

The plot parts were great, kept your interest but the overall book to me was a bit BLEH. I may continue the series just out of pure curiosity.

I couldn't really finish it...? I don't now. I didn't like the themes that much. It was too intense

This was my introduction to dark romance and I loved every bit of it and every book from this series
