Possessive
A billionaire just punched the man who bruised me in the middle of his charity gala.
The man grabbed me and seethed, "What could a man like him, want with a girl like you?"
I tried twisting away, but his fingers dug harder.
I pulled back and fell into a waiter, and a tray full of champagne glasses shattered across the floor.
The room went silent, and everyone in the ballroom turned toward us.
Suddenly, I heard a crack, and then a heavy thud against the marble.
When I turned around, the man was sprawled on the floor with blood on his lip.
The billionaire was rubbing his thumb over the red marks on my wrist.
"No one touches what's mine.

A literal gem in the sea of cliché billionaire romance. I was quite hopeless with the new writers of this genre where every book sounds exactly the same, every story has the same predictable endings. But this book kept me at the edge of my seat all the time and the subtle hints the author left in the chapters are just brilliant.
This was my first book from Serena and I'm waiting to see what this classy author has in store for us.
Quoting Adrian: She was art. She was life. She was mine.
Excellent writing.

I ugly cried reading this book😭This is the first book I read from this author. I really want to find her other books.
The emotions in this story completely wrecked me in the best possible way. I got so attached to these characters that their heartbreak felt personal. The romance, suspense, emotional buildup, and the little moments between them, it all hit me right in the heart.
This is one of those books you finish and just sit there staring at the wall thinking, what the hell did I just read. Absolutely beautiful. 5 stars from me!

I found this book by accident and oh my goodness it's brilliantly written. It's been a while since I read such a twisted billionaire romance, it was definitely a breath of fresh air.
And can we please talk about Adrian?!❤️He was secretly intense and gentle on the outside. What a combination. Loved the plot, the sweet romantic moments were so poetic and vivid. Praise to the author for mentioning Edgar's Annabelle Lee, truly a masterpiece. The bittersweet ending really made me emotional.
I'm waiting to see what's coming more in the series. Can't wait to be surprised!

This was a bait and switch and I'm a little mad about it.
The blurb would lead you to believe this is a fake dating trope, but it's not. It's a suspense. And I feel like that lie was intentional to draw in a different genre of reader.
If you're expecting romance in this book, there isn't any.
Spoilers below
The whole part about her falling asleep in the wrong limo- that is how it starts out. But she's got amnesia, so Eliana and Adrian already know each other. In fact they've dated for years, she was pregnant with his baby, had a miscarriage and her mental health tanked. Then she was in a car accident, went comatose for awhile, and when she woke up, she didn't remember all that trauma.
So her and Adrain are "fake dating" meanwhile there's a dude named Ethan in the background who is white-knighting a bit to obvious. And in the end the big reveal is Ethan not only orchestrated Eliana's accident, but helped with her swan dive into phycosis.
Adrian decides to walk away and give her space knowing what Ethan has done and is doing. Her dad is more of the same until near the very end when Adrian walks away for the final time. Only then does he tell his daughter that Ethan is a POS and guess who is right there with the slow clap? Ethan.
Eliana gets kidnapped, eventually Adrian catches up to her and Ethan, there's a fight, they go over a cliff and Adrian is never found. It's 5 years later and SURPRISE, Adrian is alive and has amnesia. HARD EYE ROLL.

This started off as a cute, fun romance, but by the midpoint, the mystery took a really interesting turn and completely hooked me. Adrian was definitely my favorite. Loved his mysterious persona. It was honestly pretty hot. The intimate moments were quite intentional. Loved that. One thing that stood out to me was how little clues were planted throughout the story. Some of them are easy to overlook on a first read, but once you start connecting the pieces, you realize certain details were there for a reason. I always appreciate when an author trusts the reader enough to leave those little breadcrumbs instead of spelling everything out.
I would've loved a little more exploration of certain character motivations, because there was clearly more going on beneath the surface. But overall, pretty good!

Serena is a new author for me but gosh I'm just mesmerized. There's so much heart and emotions in her writing. I laughed, cried, and rolled reading the ending lol. This book is so underrated WTH!
I really love how the author didn't make the female lead petty (I really hate that), she was stood strong till the end. Where do I even start with the male lead?? The duality hello? He's secretly a savage and a big time lover boy for the female lead. The twist at the end was literally jaw dropping. The author is a classic reader, it's evident in her writing style and the way she quotes OH I just LOVE it!

I don't usually leave review for books but for this one I had to. I don't remember last time I cried like this reading a book. This couple is so lovable. My heart broke into pieces for Adrian and Eliana. They suffered so much. The ending just warmed my heart. I'm waiting eagerly for the next book. Loved the author's honesty in her note. I'll definitely support her.

More a Hitchcock, than a romance
The prolong sets up a mystery.
The story feels like a romance for a bit, then goes into mind thriller territory.
Then the twists... Convoluted
I finished it, but not my style.

disjointed
The story felt rather disjointed for me. It started out well, and then I felt like there was a bat. A lot of back-and-forth with scenes should’ve been moved, should’ve been omitted, things were repeated a lot. It was a very hard book to finish reading.

It was ok
Waaaaay longer than it needed to be and very repetitive. Overall a good storyline but I almost gave up multiple times because I just kept losing interest due to it being so drug out.

Fine
The premise was...fine.
The writing was...fine.
The pacing was...fine.
It wasnt so terrible that I wanted to DNF or anything, but I read it fast because I wanted it over, not because I wanted to know what would happen.

I read this in one sitting. I didn’t expect this book to turn so deep. I didn’t expect it to make me cry and rip my heart out.
