I think my main issue with this one was that Brody felt lowkey pedoish. While I’m all for age gaps, step-parent romances, and obsessive men. Basically, Mr. Police Captain becomes obsessed with London after seeing her picture but unfortunately, London is busy in juvie… yes, juvie, aka jail for minors. While I believe London is 18 by the time she is out and become intimate with Brody, Brody knew she was a minor at the time and became obsessed, and did some pretty stalkerish and pedo things while she was a minor.

Again, I’m all for taboo reads but, at least for me, I have to be convinced of the love in order to really enjoy the taboo part.

If you haven’t read from Jessa Kane before, all the books I have read from her have been insta-love books. Now there’s nothing wrong with that, plenty of people love that. However, it isn’t my favorite as I feel like it’s hard to convince me of the love between the main characters when it is so quick. This is just personal preference though so if you’re a fan of insta-love books I would definitely recommend Jessa Kane’s books.

If you’re looking for a book with a main character who had a rough childhood, London is the girl for you. Londons mother is trash (and basically not present for the entirety of the book) and all London wants is to be loved and cared for. Brody is in fact the man for her because he’s obsessed with her and just wants what’s best for her. A true daddy…oh yes there is daddy kink in here.

So basically if you can get past the fact that Brody is a bit of a creep while she’s a minor, the story is decent and reminds me of other books with obsessive men.
