This was damn near a DNF. However, it being less than 300 pages, I stuck it out. 

Tony really rubbed me the wrong way in every way. Firstly, he's evidently been in love with Luna since she was thirteen... which wouldn't be all that bad except for the fact that he was seventeen at the time. And by the time she makes her first move on him, she's seventeen, and he's twenty-two, and he literally tells her to just wait three months until she's legal. Of course, she doesn't hear that part, which leads to a DECADE of miscommunication.

There's also the fact that Tony was very aggressive. And I love myself a morally grey hero, but this man was screaming at Luna every chance he got, and I very much disliked how often this man threw the "f" word around. It's a great word... when appropriate. It doesn't need to he used seven times in one paragraph.

That's not to say Luna didn't also drive me crazy. The girl is overwhelmed by being protected but is literally being stalked. I don't know about you, but I'd rather be smothered by the people I love than kidnapped and killed 🤷‍♀️

The book gets two stars because I finished it, and I guess there were some sweet and romantic parts, but so far, this series isn't doing anything for me.
