I always look forward to reading new authors and the synopsis sounded for this novel sounded interesting, so I was eager to jump into this one. This novel was well written and kept me on the edge of my seat. I finished it quickly and after reading the cliffhanger, I feel compelled to see what happens next in their story.

I really enjoyed the magazine/three date story line. It was easy to connect to Evelyn as she ventures into the online dating world. It was refreshing how realistic this section of the book is. I also enjoyed that the story is set in London; it’s not often that I read books that take place outside of the US, so the location change was much welcome. 

As a whole, I really enjoyed Evie’s character. It was nice to read a book about a young, naive virgin type where she is goal driven and actually has a backbone. You can’t help but feel for her towards the end of the story. The emotional aspects of the novel are well done. I also enjoyed the side characters (her coworkers) and wouldn’t mind reading a story about them. They provide a bit of comedy to the story that is necessary to break up some of the darker moments. 

While I loved Evelyn, I struggled to like Cane for a good chunk of the story. A lot of the things he did creeped me out a little bit. Though I will say there is a twist at the end of the story that intrigued me quite a bit. He is definitely an alpha male and a mysterious character. The little bit of mystery as to who he really is was a nice touch. I believe there is a lot more to him than readers get to see in this novel. 

The romance/sexy scenes are prominent parts of the story. Some of these scenes are not for the faint of heart. This aspect of the story was a little bit much for me at times. I think readers who enjoy darker erotic romances would really like this story. With that being said, everything is consensual. I do think that sometimes the characters had good chemistry and you can’t help but root for them at the end.

I would recommend this to anyone looking for a dark erotic romance complete with a mysterious alpha male.
