*WON A COPY FROM A GOODREADS GIVEAWAY*

This book was hard--really hard--for me to get into. At first it reminded me of Fifty Shades, but that didn't last long. Then I just really, really didn't like Oz. I wanted to reach through the pages, grab Mallory's hand, and pull her away from this obsessive stalker creep.
But it got better. It got so. much. fucking. better. As I said, it took me a while. I had to force myself to pick it up; an irritating character wasn't enough reason for me to give up on the book. When I reached the halfway point, I couldn't put it down! The romance, passion, drama, emotion, and character growth were on a high-speed acceleration and I had to find out what was happening next.
[a:Alexa Riley|8296969|Alexa Riley|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1443032285p2/8296969.jpg] is an artist. It has to be had to create a character that is repulsive, only to turn him into the good guy the reader falls in love with.
I can't focus only on Oz, although he is the reason I have such strong feelings about this book. Amazing storyline and character progression overall! Mallory and Paige are shown to grow in their own ways throughout the story.

I'm looking forward to reading more of Riley's works.
