STORY:
WHAT I LIKED:
I really enjoyed the first 50% of the story. The build up was very intriguing to me. The way Alexius and Leandra met, waiting on her reply to his mysterious deal and thrust into this new world. Alexius gave me intense mix with rude and sexy. Leandra gave me, terrified inside, but stood up to Alexius when she needed to. This dynamic made me me excited and I felt that great need to know what will happen next. The dark aspect /content would definitely be the graphic killings as well as Leandra’s pass as a child.



WHAT WAS SO SO:
After the first 50% and the wedding, I felt everything happened so fast thereafter. Also, I was not in love with the dynamics that Alexius and Leandra created after. For me, Leandra did not seem like the same person that I met in the beginning of the book. Her character is suppose to evolve and she did, but it was a little off for me. It’s like she got married and the next day it was a switch that was flipped. Don’t get me wrong, I still liked the story, but, it felt too easy after the wedding and because Leandra gave in so quickly, a tiny bit of me lost interest in her. Her fight to me was just really about the sex. There wasn’t enough build up after the wedding and all the changes that were happening between them after the wedding, did not feel authentic. The build up leading to them meeting and the arrangement, good. The build up after the arrangement was settle, so so.



SEXUAL CHEMISTRY
I like the sex scenes. I wanted to enjoy Alexius and Leandra some more before sharing. There is a MFM scene.



SECONDARY CHARACTERS:
I found the brothers to be very interesting and they like to share ALOT. Nicoli, Isaia, Caelian and even Maximo. I like the way the author tickles your interest with the chemistry between Nicoli and Mirabella. I am interested to see how that plays out. The story is a cliffhanger.



OVERALL:
Was I entertained? Yes, but not fully.
Did I like the story? Yes.
Would I read the other books in the series? I would want to read Nicoli’s story more.



TRIGGERS: graphic murders (religious/bible content used), childhood neglect/abuse


NOTES: No cheating, OW/OM sexually (sharing)



****I don’t equate these stories to real life. It’s about personal taste and what you would or want to tolerate with the books you read. I know we all have different opinions and preferences with what we read. I based my book reviews on my preferences and what I like, and while these preferences may not be the same for others, I hope this review was still helpful.
