I would have to take a pass though. Because of the explicit and sexual content.

The romance between Jaime and Collin is riveting, as Jaime’s desire for Collin goes far beyond the physical. There’s chemistry here, but a darker element underpins the attraction: Jaime’s pervasive longing for her own demise. Readers who dislike insta-love scenarios might balk at Jaime’s internal monologues during the early chapters, as she often alternates between wanting to “slit [Collin’s] throat” or “fervently kiss him.” However, a deeper connection between the two is revealed towards the end, partly explaining plot points that might not make a lot of sense at the beginning. There’s destiny at work here, which seemed like too much of a stretch when it was revealed, but it tied in well with Jaime’s backstory. An additional romantic aspect between Jaime and another character is also explored, so readers who enjoy love triangles will find the middle portions of the book quite entertaining.
Thanks for your review.
I'm not a romance reader, and not only do I dislike the insta-love scenarios but all the internal monologues that are at cross-purposes turn me off.
So, definitely not for me.
