This was my first monster romance, and while I did have fun, I didn’t love it. The beginning was really entertaining and had me constantly reacting, but about a third of the way in it started to feel repetitive and a bit boring. I eventually got tired of the constant descriptions of her jerking him off and his perfect dick.

When Violet and Rourke finally got together, I was honestly a little let down. With that cover and the early setup, I was expecting things to get way more freaky and unhinged, but the story ended up being much cuter and cozier than I thought it would be. I did really like Violet, though. She felt relatable and easy to connect with.

I also struggled a bit with the writing style, especially the sudden inner monologues and flashbacks, which sometimes made the timeline confusing.

Overall, it was an enjoyable read, just not what I expected going in. Maybe my expectations were a little too wild 😅

I kind of like Taryn less after reading this

Read it! listen to it! I did both and really enjoyed that combo.

I think it is better to have little/no expectations going in.

No, it is not as dark as the tw lead you to believe, in fact it is hilarious and satirical, and 3.5/4 🌶️. But I actually enjoyed the story and the characters a lot more than all that.

Have fun 🤪😘

Content Note: if you can tolerate medical and crime comedy/drama tv shows or movies, like psychological thrillers, entry-level darkish/kinky romance and have no qualms about things like CSI, Dexter (which is like way more explicit), Greys Anatomy, or other similar stuff you will be probably fine. This book was not as graphic as any of those.

Biggest TW imo: references to rpe and behavior of rpist- no actual in-book description or scenes included in the story.

I also am a lil dark and twisty but believe me I've read and watched a lot darker and more sinister stuff than this and those don't tell you nearly half the warnings this book gave. 🤷‍♀️
