While I'm all for psychological thrills and steamy scenes, I'm really hoping that Patrick gets his comeuppance in the end. He sounds like a real sleaze. I enjoyed reading your review!

Some women are self-destructive, and fall for the types who strip them of their confidence. I liked your portrayal of the characters in this book.

It sounds like a well-developed character book. I like stories with twists and your review definitely promotes some of the realistic attributes some men exhibit.

Oof. The misogyny in this one makes it a definite pass for me. Given the nature of the genre, I don't think I could read a book like this one.

I like to read romance once in a while, but I don’t like erotica or dark romance. Also I don’t think I like the character Patrick! Thanks for your review!

This book sounds intriguing and the review definitely highlights the storyline well.But the misogyny in the storyline makes it a definite pass for me. I have read enough books belonging to this genre to understand that it always ends up making me feel angry and frustrated, therefore I don't think I could read this one. Thanks for the insightful review. 🙂

It sounds like a romantically-dramatic book. I wonder why women always fall prey to the playboys, even though they are aware they might be heart-broken. The title of the book is interesting and it prompted me to peruse the book. However, I might not be reading the entire book. Thanks for a wonderful review. Congratulations BOTD.

Between its salacious encounters and enough twists and turns to keep readers engrossed, this seems to be a must read for lovers of erotic literature.

Great review. But men like Patrick Harrington bore me to death. I would have to pass.

Well, looks like this book isn't for me. Thanks for the warning about bits of violence and misogynistic remarks. Very helpful review!

I feel like this is a very sensitive subject for me too read, as I am often disgusted by men who treat women only as an object of sexual pleasure, but I feel like there is more to the story then just this. So I think I would also like to read this book to find out if Aleksandra can "fix" this man and make him respect women. Thank you for a great review!
