Reviews with content warning for Medical content - The Darkest Temptation

Awful disgusting you can’t have the mmc do the stuff that Ronan did to the fmc and except the audience to want them to be together after all that. Like just no it’s Stockholm syndrome and abuse. I love dark romance but this book is not dark romance this is abuse you can only come back from so much and have the audience like the mmc but after what he did

pretending to be her protector and friend for WEEKS then just turning it off and keeping her hostage as your fucking sex slave like bitch why would we like you after that!!!!!

just a super problematic book. The only reason I finished it was because I had read the other two in the series. I gotta say the series has gone down hill since the first book. Christian in the second was tolerable but I hated him most of the book but Ronan is just a fucking monster that deserves to be alone 😡. Will not be continuing this series and will not be reading anymore of her books

RONAN <3.
when i first read this book it was kinda hard for me get into it. but towards the end i really loved it. i fucking love RONAN.

“The moonlight loved her. But not as much as my shadows."
“I can’t imagine a world where you and all your fucking yellow doesn’t exist. So if you die, you’ll take me with you.”
“Ya lyublyu tebya. Tak sil’no chto ne mogu dumat’ kogda ty daleko ot menya.” I love you. So much I can’t think when you’re away from me.”
“Then let me make it clear for you,” he said, the shadows in his eyes flashing. “You would survive without me. You would move on.” His tone roughened. “I can’t imagine a world where you and all your fucking yellow doesn’t exist. So if you die, you’ll take me with you. Your sacrifice would mean nothing, kotyonok. NOTHING.”
“I knew then I’d follow this man to the fiery gates of hell if he just held my hand.”
“Because you’re so sweet you fucking glow.” His eyes darkened. “And I’ll kill anyone who tries to take that light from you.”
"Ronan tipped my chin to meet his eyes, brushing away the tear with a thumb. “Lions don’t lose sleep over the opinions of sheep.”

Warning: your standards will be completely fucked after reading this book.

It’s been three days since I’ve read it and I still can’t get over Ronan. I literally think about him every hour of the day. And Mila? I’m torn between wanting to be her best friend and wanting her to just not exist.

The first 100 pages of this book was gold. I am obsessed with gentlemanly, mysterious Russians with deep pockets. So when Ronan first comes into the picture acting like a good samaritan, I’m all over it.

And then, we get to the plot twist. I won’t reveal too much but things got intense. Like, INTENSE intense. I almost stopped reading. My faith in Danielle Lori was dwindling at the very actions of Ronan who I thought I loved so much. But, despite my moral code, I kept on reading.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen and enbies, I fell in love with a fictional man who kidnapped a woman. My idea of romance is fucked up…send help. It’s safe to say that you’ll want to research possible content and trigger warnings for this book.

If you’re like me, you’ll be obsessed with everything about this book soon enough. I don’t know why my faith in Danielle Lori (my literary goddess) was cracking, considering she’s never failed me before. I mean, let’s be honest…Nico from The Sweetest Oblivion and Christian from The Maddest Obsession are perfect in every way. And Ronan…well let’s just say he could “choke me like he hates me but he loves me.”
