This review is amazing, perfectly capturing the image of the book even though I haven't read it. Normalizing rape or sexual assault under the guise of friendship is unacceptable. Nonetheless, I will still read the book.

This book seemed to be very intriguing, and I like that it's fast-paced. However, if it's another 50 Shades of Grey plot, I will pass. I do hate when sex scenes are overdone and used unnecessarily as it takes away from the plot. Thanks, though!

From what I have read, it seems that it is a titillating romance where the characters are always on the brink of disaster. Alas, if only such knights-in-shining-armour existed in real-life. Thank you so much for your honest and thorough review! Happy reading :techie-studyinggray:

Should you still face the truth with the same amount of bravery and conviction if it threatens to destroy that which you hold dear?
My takeaway for the day. Thank you for your insightful review.

This fast-paced, titillating romantic novel with red-hot sensual scenes is definitely a nice read. I like it that the book is packed with twists, drama, and action. However, I'm not a fan of romance reads, especially those involving explicit sensual scenes. Otherwise, congrats on the BOTD!

The review was excellent. The book has a few shortcomings according to the review. And normalizing sexual harassment and rape under the guise of friendship is in no way acceptable to me. I would still like to go through the book.

The plot of this book seems interesting, however I don't think I'm going to be reading this book. I'm not too crazy about the fact that the book follows the whole damsel in distress trope. Great review!

Thanks for this informative review. At least I know what to expect from the book. It sounded captivating if not for these issues that you have raised.

This book sounds interesting and the review of this book too insightful. However, I think I'll pass the romantic novel since I'm not quite into romance books. Congratulations on BOTD.

A nice romantic drama may be a bit overdone in sensual aspect of it. But still who doesn't like a titillating, red-hot sensual drama some times. I will,however,be mindful of the shortcomings you mentioned. I would like to meet a guy like Keiran,even if it be in books only. Thanks for the review!!

I doubt that I would enjoy reading this book because of the flaws listed in this review. I think it's interesting though, but I don't like that one of the characters seems flawless.

This is an amazing review.
Although I am not a fan of love stories the plot seems intriguing. It looks as if the characters are shallow, but well developed. The repetitive sex scenes will make me lose interest.
