There were so many twists and turns in this book, particularly towards the end. I read it in just 7 days (which if you know me and print books, that's fast) -- mainly because I stayed up WAY too late reading, unable to put the book down.
We got some really great development in this book - particularly on Arenae's past/mother - and I was definitely there for it. I also love the other characters - from her friends at Sinful Threads to the apartment "family" of Reid, Lorna, and Patrick -- I'm thrilled to see that there are more books to take me down those stories!
Sterling can be so incredibly HOT and so incredibly FRUSTRATING. Typical DOM honestly. Like he bosses he around and it's so ARGHHH but at the same time it's motivated by caring and he doesn't ever do anything that is harmful to her (physically or emotionally) so I do love him, even while be infuriated at him. He definitely has some shade to him - he's a leader in Chicago's underworld - but he's one of those "good bad" guys, if you know what I mean. I do love their chemistry and the way Arenae stands up to him.
The book was addicting and I was so glad I was able to immediately hop into book 3.
