So many red flags... but I'm colourblind 😘
Jericho is one of the most red-flag love interests I've ever read... but if not Daddy, why Daddy shaped???
This is not a romance in the traditional sense. This is Stockholm Syndrome. This is trauma bonding. This is accidentally taming the beast. What starts with conditioning and psychological torture ends with reciprocity and something CLOSE to traditional love, and it's a blood-soaked, tear-stained, yet deliciously fun ride to get there.
The 3 ⭐️ rating comes not because I didn't enjoy myself, but because I feel like the writing itself was just shy of being worth higher. The first-person narration was a little stilted and stiff in many instances, feeling less personal and more factual, and there wasn't a distinct tonal difference between the two POVs. There were a handful of tense shifts and grammatical errors.
However, the pacing was excellently managed, especially for a novella!
For a debut release, Opal Blackstone has set the stage for what promises to be a delectable career and I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next!
