Temporal Love

by Ali Albert

Lia Lockhart
My twin brother and I left our home and everything we knew behind the night our mother was murdered. With nowhere to go, we cross paths with Kylo and Carter Radshaw, two men on a mission to defeat the people responsible for all the death and destruction.
But Kylo Radshaw is a calculative and dangerous man with one goal in mind: Kill the people responsible for murdering his family. I don’t trust him. He doesn’t trust me. And yet, we’re forced to team up and work together. If we fail, we die.
Kylo has darkness inside of him. And rage, so much rage. I should stay far away from this lethal man, but when his mesmerizing blue eyes pierce mine, I’m completely at his mercy. Kylo Radshaw has an unspoken hold over me, and I couldn’t escape him if I tried.
Can we work together to win this war? Or will my own self-destruction kill us all?
Kylo Radshaw
Despite my best efforts, she makes me feel. I suppressed my feelings and replaced them with rage. That’s the only way to win a war. Tapping into the deepest, darkest parts of yourself. And I was damn good at it. Until her.
Lia Lockhart bulldozed into my life, and I’ve been knocked on my ass ever since. And no matter how hard I try to push her away, I can’t. I need her. She needs me. But when her lies are spilled, the demons of our past come out to play.

Spice 3.5🌶️

One night can change your whole life, Lia found that out when her twin brother Leo woke her up on what would turn out to be the worst night of her life so far. They were supposed to die in that house fire but now they are on the run from a group of individuals called the Mind Hunters. This group hunts people with supernatural powers, and the leader is none other than their dad. Lia has no power, but Leo has seen a vision of a group that is going up against the mind hunters. That is their new destination.

The mind hunters destroyed Kylo's family, and he is out for revenge. Along with his brother they have gathered enough individuals to stop this war. When they find Lia and Leo, Kylo does not trust them, but he trusts his brothers' visions. Carter says they can help them in their fight, and he has to trust him, even though he can't stand them.

When Kylo is tasked with training Lia he refuses but, in the end, he knows that she needs to be an asset to their team. What no one was expecting was that Lia might be the most powerful of them all and the only one to save them.

Can Kylo keep Lia out from under his skin long enough to train her?
How can Lia, a normal, no superpower girl, who is broken save them all?

Ali was gracious enough to send me an ARC of this amazing book and to be honest when I signed up, I didn't read the blurb, so therefore I went in blind. I was surprised by how fast I was sucked into this story. I normally do not ready supernatural or paranormal romance's because I have found I normally don't enjoy them. As you can tell from my rating, I LOVED this book.
Ali did one heck of a job detailing the world that Lia and Kylo live in, and I enjoyed that because it meant I was not having to reread parts of the book later on to understand the story. This book is action pack from the start, and I had to keep reading to find out what happened next. I also enjoyed how she built on the relationships with all the characters, not just Lia and Kylo. I don't want to spoil it for anyone but THAT PLOT TWIST!!!!! 10/10. I cannot wait to dive back into this world when the next book comes out.

[Book Lover · Rating 5 out of 5]

Okay this book right here….so freaking good. For it being her first book Ali knocked it out of the park. The story grabs you right from the beginning. Supernatural romance. Smut was good but not overkill. I am usually one who prefers the smuttiest of books, however I think the amount that was in it suited the story perfectly. I love Lia. She is the perfect example of not knowing your worth and growing into a strong bad bitch. KYLO. Ugh that man. Yummy. Perhaps my new book bf? DO NOT SLEEP IN THIS BOOK!

We're on the run with nowhere to go.
No jobs.
No family.
Nothing.
Everything we had is gone. - Lia

After their mother is brutally murdered, twins Lia & Leo find themselves on the run for their lives. They join forces with brother duo Kylo & Carter with one goal: take down The Mind Hunters - the people responsible for their mothers death.

This book has:
➡️ paranormal romance
➡️ enemies to lovers
➡️ triggers such as kidnapping/violence/discussions of SA
➡️ forced proximity
➡️ a cliff hanger

My favourite things about this book:
✅️ I loved how the author explored the different dynamics amongst family. Does the betrayal hit harder when it's done by a family member? Could you ever forgive them?
✅️ Watching the characters journey of self discovery. Lia may have lost her mother but she gained soo much more than she bargained for.
✅️ The twists and turns. Soo many secrets were uncovered, I love when you don't quite know where the story will go!
✅️ Kylo was hot but I think what made him hotter was that he was always checking for consent. Consent is ALWAYS 🔥🔥
✅️ Umm hot guys with supernatural abilities? Shut up and take my 💰💰💰 😆😆

This was a great debut from author Ali Albert. Thank you soo much for giving me the opportunity to read this ARC. Look forward to book two!

I want to start off by saying Paranormal/Dystopian adult romance is usually not my jam. Not because I don’t like it, I just don’t find myself drawn there.

But I’m so glad I gave Ali’s debut a chance because it was almost nostalgic for me! Paranormal & Dystopian we’re my favorites when I only read YA.

Temporal Love reminded me of one of my favorite YA dystopian series The Dark Minds by Alexandra Bracken, except it’s spicier and a lot more violent.

The plot is interesting and well thought out! I didn’t catch the twist at the end and that’s rare for me! The relationship dynamics are emotional, raw, and genuine.

I can’t wait to see where book two takes us. But I’m freaking nervous for it too!

[Elizabeth Symons · Rating 5 out of 5]

This novel was phenomenal. Smut was perfectly placed in the story, the plot MADE sense and it didn’t get confusing during the novel. The character development was amazing and the world that Ali made for her characters was so interesting. While reading I was hoping they wouldn’t win the war or that something bad would happen so that the series would continue. And while none of my hopes/theories actually came true- I’m so happy there’s going to be another book because this one was JAWDROPPING. I cannot believe it’s Ali’s first novel, it seems as if she’s been writing for years. I definitely recommend this book to any and everybody

I got the chance to get my hands on an ARC of Temporal Love, and I couldn't put it down. The night I read it, was a long one spent under the comforters with the only illumination being my Kindle screen. Lia is sassy, loveable, and she loves those around her fiercely. We get to watch her transform through the pages into a friend, lover, and stronger woman. I love how action-packed and well-paced the story is. The author kept me on my toes. I stayed up until four a.m. just to read "one more page."

Can't wait for book two. Here's hoping we get more Carter. ;)

Lia Lockhart and her twin brother leave behind everything when their mother dies. On the run they meet Kylo who is on a mission of revenge against those who are responsible for killing his family. Lia and her brother Leo join Kylo’s mission, but at the same time Kylo and Lia start having feeling for each other which could ruin the mission.
This book is everything I could want in a romance novel. There is action and multiple point of views and an exciting fictional world. The plot was executed perfectly and the whole time I was reading I was dying to know what was going to come next. I was so happy I was able to read this ARC and I cannot wait to see what else the author has planned.

I was super lucky to get an ARC of Ali's debut book, Temporal Love!!

I really enjoyed this read. The plot was fast moving and lots of action. I really liked how the spice was well placed and didn't hinder the plot progression. I really liked the characters and how fleshed out their backstories were.

Would definitely recommend this book if you're interested in a supernatural romance!

I had the pleasure of receiving an ARC for Temporal Love and I am obsessed!! This is Ali’s debut novel and she did not disappoint!
This a supernatural romance with enemies to lovers and spice and action! The amount of detail that Ali puts into to each character and how she portrayed each one had me hooked from the beginning. The Kylo and Lia are forever goals and the bond between Lia and her twin brother was amazing! Let’s not forget about the plot twist because I was shocked 😮 let me tell you! This is a definite recommendation to anyone and I can’t wait for book 2 to come out! 💜

I received this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

3.5 rounded up. This was a solid debut novel. However, I would have liked that the enemies part of the enemies to lovers trope had gone on longer. The training arc left a lot of opportunities to really rev that up. Also, I wish that the timeline of the book had been longer. Lisa accomplishes so much in a week's time. I really would have loved to see her grow over a longer period of time. Overall though, I really loved how Lia and Kylo's characters developed over the course of the book. Lia overcomes a lot of past trauma so this isn't a book for the faint of heart. Ali is very talented and I look forward to reading more of her works!

[Lindsey LaBouve · Rating 5 out of 5]

I received this book as part of an ARC group. I would be lying if I said I wasn't hesitant to read this debut novel. But, I was wrong about all the things.

Ali Albert has hit the mark. I rarely rate books at a 5. Let's be honest, I'm a book snob. So you really have to wow me to get a 5. Ali, you succeeded. This is by far the best book I have read in quite some time (definitely this year). From the minute I read the prologue I was hooked. I'm excited this is the first installment of the Innocents Series and look forward to her next release. The plot was twisted but not so much that you couldn't follow along. The characters were so easy to imagine. It was like I was right there in the mist of it all.

Do you love paranormal? What about romance with spice??? Well look no further. On release date (I believe it's this month!) grab your coffee and jump right in. It only took me 24 hours to finish!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I grew up in a house full of secrets."

You could definitely say that again.

Twins, Lia and Leo Lockhart have harbored many secrets in their 24 years of life. This pair is one of a kind. However, their father, Joaquin and brother, Draven are super abusive to both Lia, Leo and Rose (their mother). This is just the way of life Lia thinks. Until one night changes their life forever. Draven and Joaquin kill Rose and the Lockhart's life spins out of control.

On the run from their brother and father, Leo and Lia have learned there is a group called the Mind Hunters that are killing those with special abilities. Through a vision that Leo has they meet up with the Radshaw brothers: Kylo and Carter. And boy is their an instant connection...or is it a mutual hate?

The Mind Hunters are coming from them and they all need to be ready. Carter and Kylo have been training for this their entire lives. While Leo is just as skilled as Carter their are a few techniques Carter specializes in that could be useful in the battle. Carter starts training Leo and Kylo starts training Lia (well sort of). Their training consists of combative, telekinesis, telepathy, empathy, making out, spicy moments...I think you get the drift.

Love, hate, love some more, hate some more it is all there. Can the four of them put aside differences and past hurts to save their lives and end the war once and for all?

Guess you'll have to download to see.

First, I want to thank Ali Albert for allowing me the opportunity to have an ARC copy of the book. It's been some time since authors took a chance on me as someone who is new (or back rather) to the book community. Massive thank you!! On with the review!

You get a really well done background of the book just by the details/synopsis right here on Goodreads, so I won't bore you with all of those details, but let me just say - there are definitely some twists that you won't necessarily see coming. Lia Lockhart and her twin brother Leo are all but forced to leave home. They leave with secrets, a chilling past, and an overwhelming sense of fear. Why? Other family members. Leo trains Lia as frequently as he can while they're on the run, but for what exactly? Lia simply knows they're in trouble, and her brother sometimes has what equates to premonitions. Where could they possibly be going though without having other family to rely on?

Carter and Kylo Radshaw are brothers who have been working nearly their entire lives to take on, and defeat, those that have left destruction in their wake...like Leo and Lia's family members. Carter is incredibly similar to Leo and takes him under his wing almost immediately. That leaves Lia with Kylo - and there's something about him that gets under her skin, but in more ways than one. Kylo knows something else is there too, but he's so incredibly guarded and blames himself for his own family's demise. What happens when you put two people who have an understanding of magic together though when one doesn't believe they possess any power at all?

Can Lia and Kylo work together while Carter and Leo work together? Can they "save" others like them and create their own family bonds? Can Lia work through her anxiety to help?

The only part that set me back a little bit was how Lia never really has the opportunity to work through things. Kylo does become a bit of a distraction in multiple ways, but I'm hopeful that it leaves room for her to grow and push through things further in book two - and truly understand her own mind. I can't wait for the moment that happens.

💜 Review - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 💜

“In my darkest moments, you’re the light.”

Temporal Love follows Lia and Leo Lockhart’s journey to take down those that murdered their mother. With nowhere to go, they meet Carter and Kylo Radshaw, who are also out to kill those that murdered their parents. They decide to work together, but can they all manage to work together and put their differences aside to accomplish the same goal?

Kylo begins training Lia to fight against the Mind Hunters, a group hunting those with supernatural powers led by Lia and Leo’s father, Joaquin. Unlike the others, Lia does not have supernatural powers. Carter asks Kylo to train her in physical combat so she can help fight, but Kylo has no desire to train her. Kylo gets under Lia’s skin for some reason, and she dreads her training sessions with him. But as much as she dreads her sessions, she can’t help but being drawn and attracted to Kylo. He feels the same about Lia, but quickly realizes she may be the key to saving them all.

Temporal Love is Ali Albert’s debut novel and she CRUSHED it. I was hooked immediately and did not want to put this book down. The paranormal story line really drew me in and then you throw in some spicy romance, and I’m done. Not only was it filled with a fast burn, spicy romance, but it was also suspenseful and kept you guessing about what was going to happen next.

I loved the character progression, especially with Lia and Kylo. Ali did a great job with their backstories, and it helped to really get to know them.

If you’re looking for an enemies to lovers, fast burn, spicy, paranormal romance with some suspense thrown in, this is the book to read.

Temporal Love is out today and can be downloaded on KU, also!

⚠️Please read the trigger warnings the author provides at the beginning of the book⚠️

Thank you so much Ali for giving me the opportunity to read this ARC and Happy Pub Day! . And I need book two ASAP 😂

I was lucky enough to be gifted an e-ARC copy of the book. And here’s my honest review,
•
What a wild ride! I binge read this book in one day. I couldn’t put it down even if I wanted to. The story was very much fast paced and I loved every second of it. It was just so compelling and made the book unputdownable
The MCs, Kylo and Lia were chaotic. Kylo was a beautifully dark character. He was so angry and guilt driven but such a gentle guy. He was imperfect and made his mistakes. But Lia stuck by him. And Lia, my sweet, broken, beautiful, strong Lia, she was such a tender girl but turned into the woman she was meant to be. I was so heart broken and anxious over how Kylo and Lia were going to end up. And every time Lia needed Kylo, he was there, giving her all of him in every way. The spice. Lord don’t get me started. It was the good stuff and timed just when we needed a moment with Lia and Kylo alone.
And hands down, Leo has my whole heart. Carter too. Oh well, let me just go ahead say that all of the boys do. Leo and Lia’s twin hood was so wholesome. Leo protected Lia with his life, power and skills. Brief though their appearances might have been, Elijah and Seraphina were the perfect leader and mama bear that the group needed.
With danger and death looming over them and their minds flooded with much more than sadness of their loved ones, the characters had to learn to survive. And they were so powerful and valiant doing it, fighting in brave. I could barely keep up. The violence, the scars, the sacrifices, the betrayals, the pain. They were all woven so intensely. Every time the protagonists had a breath to catch, there they were, the vicious villains, more powerful and maniacal than the last time.
All in all, this was such an intense and gripping supernatural romance read for me. Can’t wait for the sequel. 🥺

Thank you so much Ali for giving me the opportunity to read and review this amazing book!

This book was fantastic! I think this is the fastest I have ever finished a book! I couldn’t put it down and had to force myself to go to sleep or I would have read all night!

It was action packed, but also had the perfect amount of tender scenes and moments between Lia and Kylo and Lia and her brother Leo 🥰

I normally prefer a little bit more of a slower burn romance, however this was done so so well! I didn’t even mind that Lia and Kylo fell for each other pretty quickly. I loved how much they cared for each other and how it wasn’t just him being protective of her, she was also protective of him. Their connection and chemistry was undeniable and it kept me hooked the whole time! The spice in this book was done so well also! 🔥

I also loved the relationship that Lia and Leo had and how close they were (obviously being twins lol). They would do anything to protect each other and that was so great to read!

I feel like I’ve said this with so many books I’ve read this year, but this book is for sure a favorite of the year for me! Ali’s writing had me hooked from the first page and I cannot wait to see how these character’s journeys continue!

Check trigger warnings, which she puts in the beginning of the book, before reading for sure! If you enjoy paranormal romance, I highly recommend this one!!

Temporal love is a paranormal romance by Ali Albert. It is her debut novel and one I really enjoyed.

We have our two main Characters Lia and Kylo, who meet while Lia and her twin brother Leo are on the run after their mother is murdered. They join up with Kylo and his brother Carter in an effort to
Fight a war against those who killed their families.

I wasn’t sure I was going to like Lia when I first started reading this book, but seeing her character develop from start to finish I ended up really liking her.

Kylo I liked right off the bat. Though I have a thing for grumpy jerk MCs, especially if they have a heart of gold under all that brooding exterior. Bonus points if it’s just for our FMC.

I am after all a lover of romance so seeing the relationship between our two MCs was my favourite part, though I did fully enjoy reading the interactions between the side characters and all of the action in this book. Parts in this book had me angry yell at the characters, had my heart break for them and had me turning the pages excited for what was to come next. It’s been a while since I read a good paranormal romance, and I’m so glad I was lucky enough to get an ARC of this one. If you’re looking for a good paranormal romance with some extra spicy scenes I would definitely give this one a try.

Review: Thank for the ARC
I have mixed feeling about this book...
It took me a while to find the right words for this review, because I am so cautious about what I was going to say since I didn't want it to come across as a bad review because its not. There was many moments that I loved and had me questioning what noises I was making in the middle of the night😅😆.

My only issue with the book was not the plot however, the dynamic of Kylo and Lia's relationship. I was not a fan of the continuous cycle where something traumatic happens to Lia and she has a breakdown, then he calms her down and then they have sex to distract her from this issue(which lowkey is ok), but after they have sex they don't really talk about what happened and deal with it. Kylo just asks if she is ok and that is it...😐.

However aside from that is was good book, and I did enjoy it and can't wait to find out how the story continues.❤

Rating: 3.5/5
I don’t normally read a lot of dark romance so I was super excited to read this and it did not disappoint. I loved watching Lia and Kylo’s relationship build, and I feel like fast burns are sometimes hard to do but this was done well. The switching POV’s also added to the strength of their relationship. What I loved most however, was Lia and Leo’s sibling bond. It is one of my favorite things to read about: siblings who love each other more than anyone and would do anything for each other. It reminded me of my relationship with my sister, and I enjoyed watching Lia and Leo navigate the struggles of their world and how their characters developed over the book.
I did find that the story started out a bit slow, and it took me a little longer to get hooked than I expected. Once the second half picked up I was a lot more intrigued. There was one plot twist that really took me by surprise and almost made me cry (because it was written well), but there was another one that was a little more disappointing for me personally.
That being said, I’m very much looking forward to the next book and I can’t wait to see the result of all these complex relationships, and to see how Lia and Kylo’s story ends.

This is a fantastic debut novel! Trigger warnings: abuse and mention of rape (not shown).

If you're looking for a thrilling paranormal romance with

enemies to lovers
dystopian vibes
magical powers
close sibling relationships
damaged love interest
who hurt you / only soft for her

Then you should definitely read this book! It was fast paced and kept me on the edge of my seat. I saw some of the twists coming but definitely not all of them. Kylo was everything I enjoy in a YA love interest - morally grey, brooding, damaged, but gentle with her. Lia was a relatable MC, easy to sympathize with, and her reactions felt appropriate and reasonable for the circumstances (unlike many YA heroines who are perfect, talented, super strong, etc). I really enjoyed seeing Lia learn to use her powers, become more confident, and weaponize her empathy to save the day.

Thank you to the author for the ARC via Bookfunnel! It was so nice to shake things up with this exciting paranormal romance.

➸Cliffhanger

Leo and Lia are twins, they have this special bond forged by some traumatic experiences they had with their derranged family, abuse, lies, hurt always surrounded them. I love their love, it's so sweet and heartwarming, siblings supporting each other through fire and hell.

The whole story was pretty awesome, the narration was good, my only issue is that the tension between the characters felt a little stupid, considering the fact that they are really old and the reasoning is understandable but dumb.

This is a fantasy with romantic aspects, loved the world building and the whole chaotic dystopian theme, the romance was sweet but the spice was odd for me, would've prefer it to be fade to black.

Overall it was an interesting book and I really enjoyed, will be waiting for the next one!

Considering this is her first book, I was amazed, she did a fantastic job! Thanks to sweet Ali for providing an arc in exchange for an honest review!

[Allie · Rating 4 out of 5]

I absolutely love the world Ali created! Mind Hunters are individuals, all under Joaquin, (Lia’s “father”) who seek out those with special abilities and kill them. Joaquin and Draven (twins’ older brother who takes after their “father”) make their lives hell. After their mother is murdered (guess who was responsible 😒) they connect with brothers Carter and Kylo. Sparks fly between Kylo and Lia from the start. I related to Lia struggle to get a handle on her emotions because they felt all-consuming. But Kylo reminded her that she’s stronger than she thinks. I used to wish I had all these special abilities but after reading about Lia’s struggles with all of them, I think I’m good🥲 Another element of the story that I really enjoyed was the relationship between Leo and Lia, twins who are five minutes apart. I don’t want to spoil the ending so I’ll end here! Last thought: I’m sending Ali my therapy bill for this week!

If you’re into enemies-ish to lovers, forced proximity, paranormal romance, and a rollercoaster story, this is a great choice and I highly recommend it! A huge thank you to the author for a gifted copy of her debut novel, I leave this review voluntarily and without influence.

amazing debut

I received an ARC copy of this book last month and was just absolutely blown away at this author’s debut novel.

Lia is an empath who struggles with feeling everything after just a simple touch. She discovers her powers while trying to escape the Mind Hunters, who just so happen to be run by her abusive father and older sibling. She escapes with her protective twin brother Leo who can see the future and heal others, and finds safety with Carter and Kylo Radshaw. The two brothers have been actively trying to fight the Mind Hunters and have no idea of the twin’s relations to the group. Lia and Kylo start training and meet with some difficulties because KYLO CAN READ HER MIND. They realize quickly that Lia’s powers are not normal and she has a hard time learning how to control all of them. Her powers start to develop with the help of Kylo and she tries to ignore the connection they have with each other. Their love was so beautiful to read and the action in this book kept me on my toes !! This book is a series so definitely keep and eye out for the next one !! 💜💜

Okay first let me clap for @author_ali_albert it's her debut book and she totally amazed me with her writing. I am so glad that I got to read this as an Arc.

I knew this book is going to be an amazing one just by reading a prologue. The writing style and how authors has explained everything was really good. While reading this book I was feeling like I am watching a movie. Every character was perfectly written and all of them was powerful on their own And my fav thing in this book was the bonding between Leo and Lia which is so pure. I really love books with great siblings bond. Kylo and Lia chemistry is op. Writing a fast burn book is hard but author has done it very well so it's didn't feel like it's so soon or anything. When in the war Leo died I was like, No please! But when I got the surprise I was dancing happily. All the way this book is the one of the best paranormal romance I have read. It's end with a cliffhanger and I am so excited for the next book.

What a fantastic debut novel. I thoroughly enjoyed Temporal Love. It sucked me in from the first page, and I didn't want to put it down. ​It actually got to the point I was considering if I really needed to sleep!
I thought it had enough background information, so it didn't leave you asking questions. The character development and world building were amazing.
This novel is from Lia's pov and does have a couple of chapters from Kylo, which is fantastic.
The spice is just right and is placed in the right places it flows in the story.
There's so much more I want to say, but I don't want to spoil it. But all I'm going to say is as a twin, I felt what Lia felt but that twist I never saw coming.
There wasn't anything I disliked about this novel. I urge you all to read this novel.

First of all, thanks to the author for providing me an ARC copy of this amazing book in exchange of an honest review.

Let's make a checklist first..

Love☑
Family ☑
Hotness ☑

This book was just awesome. It was a fantasy romance, and I'm glad I read this as an ARC reader.
I literally love the growth of the story and every characters. Each characters has it's own power. Especially Lia. She is really brave and lovable and powerful.
The chapters are not so long so it won't bore you for sure. And each chapter has its own high point which I loved the most. The story ended with a cliff hanger which is making me wish to read the sequel of it ASAP (although it's not possible yet.

So overall, it was really an awesome story in the combination of fantasy & romance.

I would definitely suggest you to check it out really soon.

So this was my first ever ARC read and i can't thank Ali Albert enough for giving me the opportunity.

One important thing before i start is please check the TRIGGER WARNINGS before you dive into it!

And yes!I loved it!Read it all in an afternoon and couldn't put it down!

Fast plot,not confusing and just pulling you in for more.!
The spice was there(Thank goodness) and i was so satisfied with it( but also wanting more!!!)
A twist i didn't see coming and Lia's brother Leo,i got to say, was my soft spot and the sweetest protective brother ever.
Lia and Kylo were so sweet and beautiful and really fit together.They complimented one another so vulnerably and they felt right. They both were strong,protecting their loved ones and each other and at the same time so so sensitive.!!
I really can't wait for book 2 because i got really depressed when it was over and couldn't read more of it.

For me it was really heart warming to read a story before publishing and fall in love with characters that have not yet gone out to the world.
A book that i honestly suggest if you are into smut,YA and strong characters (male or female).!!!!
