Willow started writing after having her little girl, Evie, December 2015. All during her pregnancy with Evie she continued to read and she only wanted to read romance. She was reading a book a day — sometimes two.
In January 2016 Willow was staying up late with Evie and just thinking of all these stories. They came to her constantly so she finally sat down and just started writing. She always wanted to do it so she figured, why not? Today Willow cannot be happier for making that decision!
Lily is just finishing a semester as a youth councilor while studying psychology when her position is removed due to funding. While researching for a book she is writing she begins frequenting Club X. Joseph is a long time member, interested in he sweet Lily, but unsure if she can handle his dark desires.
I loved the characters, story, and especially the spice. This is a very open door with a lot of spice. There are dark pasts with him being the more damaged one for once. We seen Joseph in the other books, but he was largely regarded as a boogeyman of sorts, so he was mostly ignored. I'm glad he got his own story as well.
I love that this book has a good girl and a bad boy. Yes, it is a frequently done cliché but one I will always enjoy. Lily goes out of her way for her student's, even after she is no longer their councilor because she want's what is best for them. Then there is sweet damaged Joseph that definitely checks all kinds of dark romance book boyfriend boxes. I completely enjoyed their story.
Again, this book could be read as a stand-alone, but starting at book 1 is best as there are background character spoilers. This book evens with everything for Lily and Joseph tied up nicely.
