At least it's short

I guess the only good thing I can say is it's a short book? Idk, this just didn't do it for me, the characters didn't make sense together, they didn't seem to have any real chemistry and the storyline was very shallow and predictable. The last 70% of the book was just ridiculous filler. This is not a dark romance in any way. The references to BDSM as "S&M" seemed so badly informed that I wonder if the only research the author did on it was watching the 50 Shades of Grey movie. The characters were stiff and one dimensional, and the plot flow seemed disjointed and robotic, there's not really any logical reason for it to progress to the next plot point except it's the next bulletpoint in the authors outline draft. The sex scenes were mediocre and sometimes awkward, they certainly did but redeem the rest of the book.
