We pay respects to all First Nations people of Australia, and recognise their connection to the land. I do love a good age gap romance and with a touch of darkness throughout this book kept me turning the pages. very very repetitive and annoying but also i like reading trash books so i cant say i hated it, but the whole lucas thing doesn’t make sense bc he literally cheated on her and then suddenly he was so obsessed w her it drove him to insanity?

Yeah, you heard that right…this crazy mfer placebo’d her BC then told her she could go nowhere and speak to no one without his permission.

However while scrolling TikTok, a woman was talking about this book- something specific that happens in chapter one that I won't be repeating 😉🌶 THEN she said it just released on KU and I IMMEDIATELY ran and downloaded it.

A war between the crime families is brewing, and if they aren’t careful, they’ll end up right in the middle of it. Story is pretty heavily s*x driven, don’t get me wrong, I like me some 🌶️, but this doesn’t provide suspension of disbelief. Bianca has always had a crush on her best friends dad who is twice her age but feels like he sees her as just a little girl.

Ending was a bit predictable not gonna lie, and Bianca seems like she can’t make her mind to save her life (literally), but as always live the smut.
