This was a WILD ride! Definitely not for the faint of heart! 

Taboo romance
MC 
A whole lot of twists and turns 
Trauma like no other (10000% check the trigger warnings because it’s rough) 

I was on the edge of my seat the whole entire time. I read this in one entire sitting. I devoured this book. I was on a roller coaster ride I was on while reading this book! I felt all the things! Uncomfortable, a little icky, confused, mad, sad, more confusion, super mad, and finally relieved. 

This book is spicy spicy, but it doesn’t take away from the book!

Some of my highlights:

He embedded himself into my heart and I sewed my name across his limbs. We fight a lot, but we love hard and when it comes to him and me, one cannot exist without the other.

A well-made lie will continue to burn the tip of your tongue well after you’ve been fed truth.

Revenge or forgiveness. They’re the two words that sit on either side of the scale, as you decide where you’re going to add your weight.

This book was amazing. I only stopped put it down once since I started it and it was to sleep. I was right back to it once I woke up. I loved the will they, won't they aspect when it came to Royce and Jade. It was definitely slow paced when it came to them actually getting together. But I loved that it was. The tension between them was amazing throughout the entire book. I loved how protective Royce was of Jade (along with all the guys) even when he denied his feeling for her, saying he didn't care about her, you could clearly tell he was lying. And I loved that Jade fought right back and didn't take all that Royce threw at her.

The mystery was great as well. And the plot twist upon plot twist towards the end left me shocked. I did guess who James was early on. It was pretty obvious who he was, at least to me. But the other twists I had no idea about. And I was left shocked and surprised by it all. I was especially shocked by Jade in the end. What she did and was a part of surprised the hell out of me. But it only showed just how strong and powerful she really is.

The only complaint I have about this book is the fact there is just a general authors note about the content in this book. This book could be very damaging to someone if it got into the wrong hands without a more detailed and specific trigger list due to the type of content that is in this book. I really don't like that the author brushes this off saying that this is "her version of dark" and that the content is very dark without actually going into detail about what that dark content is. So I'm very disappointed by this fact. 

Despite that, I did rate this book 5 stars, because I was thoroughly entertained and hooked from the beginning. I literally did not want to stop reading at any point. It was an absolutely amazing read.

I'd definitely recommend this, but only if I know the person I'm recommending it to can handle the content. And I'd always provide all the content warnings if I'm recommending it just in case to give them the option to opt out of reading it if they so choose.
