I liked the idea of this story and was really excited to read it. It was a decent read for me. I wouldn't really say this was a dark read. It had dark elements in it. I was expecting more something. I was hoping for more of a fight from the heroine before she submitted and the hero wasn't what I expected. Liked Dimitri but I was expecting someone ALOT darker. Anyway decent read. I'm still hooked and happy to see that there is more to come from this couple.
