This was so seriously gorgeous. I actually had big reservations going into this book because the content warnings kept on about how dark it is with stalking, etc. So all the stalking is role play, and the kinks are dark, but the romance is NOT. Max and Mona could not be sweeter together if they tried… they just also like it super dirty. Loved that they each had their own issues in the relationship as well, but none of it tied into their kinks, except to bolster their confidences. I am so over characters with issues and that’s why they’re kinky. Plus Mona’s depression and insecurities could have gotten real old real fast, and while the latter was frustrating (and we were sort of left without a real explanation other that she’s fat), it played in at the primest of moments, keeping the conflict going. I loved this one and the side characters sold me even more to pick up the other books in this series.
