📖Book Info

I ruined his marriage. Now he wants to ruin me.

My childhood was the stuff of nightmares. And adulthood? Hasn’t been a whole lot better. I’ve been working as a male escort to put myself through nursing school. I’m so close to getting out when a client’s husband catches us in the act. He tries to blackmail me, threatening to ruin me if I don't help him win his messy divorce case. When I refuse to do what he’s asking, he decides he’ll take my body instead. It’s what I’m used to. It’s what I’m good at. He gives me the pain I’ve been craving. But I don't know what to do when he decides he wants my heart.

💭Our Thoughts

Had an absolute blast tagging along with Simon as he maneuvered his way through the turmoilous waters that were his life

His snark

His quick wit

His intelligence

His oh so soft heart

Could not help but want to protect him when the world got too aggressive

However, that turned out to be his kink - well, with a certain someone anyway

Who knew?

Still adore him

Sebastien was an all kinds of grumpy, don't need anyone huff and puff while stomping about type of guy.

Though when I get a glimpse of his past interactions and what he has built, I get it

As I watched his heart thaw for Simon, I couldn't help but display the goofiest grin.

These two fit together so perfectly

And their one-on-one moments?

When they both discover that their kinks go together...

HADES level hot

The ex? Saw that coming.

I would have liked a bit more detail when it came to certain events.

But honestly, that is me just wanting to spend more time with the guys and getting to know them better.

The author did a bang-up job of integrating all the important stuff into the storyline, as this is the first in the series, and the stage needed to be set

This does have some darker elements in the story, as well as in the series storyline

There is kidnapping. Trafficking.

A bit of domestic (though mostly off-page). Cult life. Homophobia.

Some graphic violence (torture, abuse) both off and on page.

I am looking forward to the next in the series
