"I promised your daddy I'd take care of his little girl, and I'll use my tongue, teeth, and fingers to make sure I keep my word." Here's one of my favorite parts from the whole book: what was that? Dirty talk is not a major? Well, prepare to be proven otherwise, because damnnn the words that left this mans mouth were downright filthy. Let's start with a breakdown of both of the MCs.įirst of, we have our boy and my husband Saint freaking Astor! He was everything I loved in a fictional character, broody, a bit aholish (don't worry though, his girl managed to smooth out his rough edges), and had a major in dirty talk. I've been waiting for this book for months, and I'm glad to report I was not disappointed! Trigger warnings: alcoholism, blackmail, unprotected sex, gaslighting, bodily harm, drugs, victim shaming, child abuse Overall I did NOT enjoy this book and I will not continue with the series. I originally wanted to give the book a 2,5 star but then came the moment that topped it all off for me:Īfter finding out her ex is blackmailing her with a sex tape, he gets mad at HER for it and leaves her, saying she must´ve lied about her sexual activities to him. Like dude you are 31! Please act accordingly! When she expresses her worry, he just tells her that the sex was special, that that is what counts, and that they will get a Plan B pill for her (which they also forget to do). He decides that pulling out is a FANTASTIC way of protection (please don´t ever do that!) and of course he forgets to do that. So they decide to have unprotected sex for their first time. Like I said he is an absolute manwhore and of course she is a virgin. It is a forced marriage trope that is done through a business contract. Plotwise it also wasn´t anything special.
(This is the part of the review where spoilers come in so please be aware of that!) Even Saint and Ariadne claim to hate each other. Also why does everybody in this series hate each other so much? There is always hate between at least four characters in each book. Ariadne has one friend that is in exactly two scenes over the whole span of the book. The side characters, again, were barely there. In my opinion there was not really any chemistry.
The two have a bit of sexual tension but that was about it for me. Of course she is the virgin to his manwhore, because how else would it be. Saint is pretty much an arrogant ass, praising himself over course of the whole book that he would be absolutely amazing and sex with him would be heaven. On one positive note, Ariadne was quite a sweet FMC, she seems like a nice girl, but I have to say also pretty naive. Here I was, hoping that this book would be better than the first one.Let me tell you, I have some emotions too for this book, and it ain´t good ones. This is a two POV book, told by the POV´s of Saint and Ariadne. "My chest burned as emotions swelled again.
