Dark Desires by Sallyanne Johnson
4.0

I enjoyed this book. The storyline is the usual for a book of this type, but there is always something different that sets one apart from another.
I had to remove a star because of the way it ended. It ended on a cliffhanger and seemed to do so abruptly. I would have liked more of a build up or perhaps some additional clarification.

Spoilers:
It bugs me when the male character gets all macho and decides to tell the female character what she can do or how she can dress. In this case, she tells him about her ex and he apologizes for things they’ve done in the bedroom (which she tells him is fine because she liked it from him), but then he turns around and tries to tell her what she can wear for a night out with the girls AND she finds out that he’s been lying to her. He’s all demanding about knowing everything about her but he won’t share anything with her because he has deemed it unimportant. It’s a very real double standard.

Thank you to Booksprout for the ARC!
