This book just wasn’t for me.
I’m not a fan of the miscommunication trope, especially since it dragged for more than half the book. It got too annoying for me to enjoy the book. Adams’s possessiveness also got really annoying.
There’s too much borderline abusive behavior for a BDSM novel, imo. A lot of Adam’s poor behavior (especially in that first scene) makes it seem like crap like that is ok in the bdsm community but it’s not. You should never scene angry. This book reminded me of everything that was not ok with the 50 Shades books.
The only enjoyable parts of the book, for me, were the spicy scenes. Those were very hot and enjoyable 🥵. And even then, I sometimes had to ignore Adam’s bad behavior and/or words.
