"My favorite series!"

Skye Edelson-Bennett

"I decided to read this series after watching the first 3 films. Although this story hits a little too close for home, I enjoyed getting to experience the full uncut story from start to finish. The toxicness of Tess and Harding relationship has you screaming at times, but then cheering for them at others. You will have a love-hate relationship for the pair…until the final chapters."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It reminded me a bit of 50 Shades. For me, Hardin was really difficult to like even as his character softened in the end. His tantrums when he didn’t get his way annoyed me. This didn’t change much throughout the whole story for me, I thought he was a jerk and I felt bad for Tessa. She deserves better. The ending had me absolutely furious for her. That being said, I’m excited to read the next. "

"Wow I don’t even have words. I couldn’t put this book down. I’ve never been happier that I bought this series all at once so I can keep going. Loving someone so much that you can’t just stay away even though it’s such a toxic relationship. While my experience is nowhere near as extreme, the emotions of this book are so relatable"

Mackenzie Miller

"OK. I know lots of people love this series but I found it to be very Meh. It was like the main characters were built by legos of every romantic trope we have seen and red. I really wanted to like the book but there wasn’t any substance in it to make it anything but fanfic. "

"I like the storyline."

"The male lead has some issues but I looked past it. I liked this series. The protective male lead is nice as well. I did notice how this relationship is pretty toxic but since I ended up infatuated with them at the end I overlooked it all 𝨭 "
