Description

Rachel Connery is on a seek-and-destroy mission, out for revenge against the mysterious, charismatic man who enticed millions of dollars from her dying mother and cheated Rachel out of her inheritance.

A friend mentioned this in a thread on one of my favorite books. I was warned. It clearly featured a gamma hero and questionable consent. Sometimes I like to challenge myself a little, I have a pile of old school romance waiting to do just that.

It was an engaging book but I could not connect to either character. Rachel was a bit...silly... And Luke could've worked for me if he wasn't constantly raping the heroine to squeeze out her sexual Awakening as I read on, it felt like any relationships or redemption would get thinner and thinner, and I just couldn't endure.

I'm a sensitive one, and I know this, but also I'm curious. Well, mystery solved... It's not for me.

Well, i read allot of the reviews here. I did finish this book today and i liked the pace of the book and the writing. I didnt want to like Luke at all. I could feel his manipulative nature but the way the author wrote about the pure physical stuff i really liked that. There have only been one or two men in my life that i felt like a woman, felt 'female'...i am not sure i am describing this correctly. When i was reading this book, the raw nature of the attraction that overcame hatred, i understood it. I did feel creeped out and slimy at parts of the book as Rachel did.
Overall i liked reading this book.
I wanted to like this so bad. I love traumatized heroines. But the storyline was just ridiculous.
