Girl next door Brooke Knight is building a new life for herself in Michigan. There she meets Calvin Jones, successful owner of a coffee shop and a gym, who looks great in a tight t-shirt. When the two sweethearts fall swiftly and madly in love, it seems like everything is coming up roses. But a dark secret from Brooke’s past is coming to tear it all apart.
An essential factor when you choose what romance to read is a) to know your kinks (although be open to discovering new ones) and b) to know the kinks the author writes about. Wynter Adams likes to write about rough and often non-consensual sex happening to people who really rather it wouldn’t.
There is nothing wrong with rape/sexual abuse as a fantasy or as a type of romance novel. Fantasising about this stuff doesn’t mean you want it in real life! Meanwhile, Adams writes in a clean, accessible fashion – it’s hot stuff – and she writes sympathetic characters (essential given what she’s going to do to them).
My problem is that if you wanted, for some unfathomable reason, to build a scale of my kinks, then over here is me, and way, way, way, way, past Andromeda, on beyond many other galaxies, is rough, non-consensual sex. It turns me off faster than Mrs Thatcher’s boobies, and she’s dead. This just isn’t a genre of romance that is ever going to appeal to me.
If you’re into slasher movies and their ilk (I’m not); if like stories of bad things happening to good people; if rough non-consensual sex pushes your buttons in a romance novel (I’m absolutely not judging), then Adams is good at what she does, and I think you’ll very quickly have a library of her books in your Kindle. Worth trying out.

Honestly was disappointed in reading this book. While the story had great potential, it was still too predictable for a cover that says there is a twist. My main complaint is the writing style. There appears to have been little to no editing as grammatical errors are throughout. The vocabulary is lacking as well. Several areas could have benefited from different wording. The characters' uses of the expression "making love"(while meaning was understood with further reading) or only calling each other "Baby", among other examples were overplayed and took away from the scenes.

Bittersweet is the first book i've read by Wynter Adams and I can definitely tell you it won't be the last!!! Brooke and Calvin immediately had my heart in a vise grip! and the twist in this book damn near knocked me down! The writing was phenomenal and i absolutely adored the love between these two characters... i wish we had more!

“BitterSweet” is the third book I’ve read by Wynter, and I knew to expect some crazy twist to go down, but I was not expecting this! 😳 good girl gone bad is an understatement, and I didn’t think the sweet love story it started out to be could have such a deadly hidden agenda!

OMG...
The story of Brook and Calvin started out so sweet, the perfect girl next door found the perfect boy next door.
Then BOOM!
So many dark twist will leave you reeling on the edge of your seat.
Highly recommend if you enjoy Thriller/romance/ mystery.
Brilliant read!
