No está tan mal como pensé al notar que era la historia de Junior. Eso sí, el 99% del libro era puro sexo y todo lo relacionado, algo entendible por la profesión que tiene Lauren. Me gustó pero pienso que pudo ser mejor.
Vc lê que nem sente,uma ótima escrita, personagens intrigantes e muita confusão familiar.
I loved the different stories, backgrounds and Nic/Lauren are so well together. Amazing book 🥳🖤
Lights Out - hilarious. WTF happened? I don't care about politics and who people affiliate with, but holy mother of pearl.... can we leave it out of books. Don't get me wrong - you do you booboo. I don't mind things being woven into the storyline, but we are really reaching to add it to all things and making it known it was added. We don't need to make it the whole book.I only finished this because there was some plot and I was mildly intrigued, but beyond that I'm 100000% happy I borrowed it and didn't pay out of pocket to read this.
LIKE BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY that this book took me the longest to get into and guess WHAT? A SOLID DNF.. yeah, I was really excited for the story cause if you don't know me I AM obsessed with bikes and bikers on tiktok, I AM A SUCKER so I was going ASAP to pick this book and binge it. The initial allure of the narrative, encapsulated in the assertion of desire from a man who typically achieves his wants, sets the stage for a potentially gripping dark romance. However, the execution disappointingly falters, relying excessively on clichéd archetypes such as the brooding, possessive anti-hero and the innocent heroine who undergoes a sultry transformation. Nico “Junior” Trocci is depicted as obsessively dangerous rather than intriguingly enigmatic, and his fixation on Lauren veers unsettlingly close to stalking rather than the passionate romance the story aims to portray. Rather than cultivating a nuanced and compelling relationship between the protagonists, the plot hastily propels them into lust-driven encounters that lack the emotional resonance and character development necessary to engage the reader fully.Lauren’s journey from a timid bookworm to a confident club-goer holds the potential for a powerful narrative arc, yet it is regrettably reduced to a mere backdrop for Junior’s objectification and possessive tendencies. Her internal struggles and emotional complexities are superficially addressed, rendering her more of a fantasy figure than a fully fleshed-out character. The club scenes, while undeniably steamy and explicit, overshadow any genuine attempts at plot progression or meaningful relationship dynamics. Ultimately, the novel resembles a collection of spicy fanfiction rather than a thoughtfully crafted romance, leaving readers yearning for depth and authenticity that remains tantalizingly out of reach.the only thing that I loved is the bike that Junior has...and it's such a waste..
It was a fun book to read loved the characters and the plot it definitely has character growth and I just really loved the experience of reading this masterpiece
This was still funny but not as funny as Lights Out was. I enjoyed this book though and the sex club scenes were hot.
I love the fact that Junior wasn't really sure about Josh but then he likes Josh and they ended up being good friends. His love story is more crazier and hotter honestly.
kinda cringe as fuck and the sex scenes were also cringe like i couldn't find them hot 😭😭 liked the couple though ig
I actually really liked this!The spice was top tier and the subject matters were handled great!Junior pissed me off in certain parts, and I do feel Lauren forgave him wayyyy too quickly however I moved past itListened on audio and I honestly, such a fun time!!Also the Josh & Ally references made me so happyyyyy4 star & 3.5 spice
3.75⭐What I liked about the book:- the discourse around sex work and all the stigma attached to it- the openness in discussing and exploring kinks and sexual preferences - the fact that the spicy scenes weren't there just for the sake of being there, they were actually part of the story - the spice was very hot and very well written, in my opinion- the found family is always a balm to my heart. What I didn't like:- the plot was pretty thin- I personally didn't like the female audiobook narration style (can't really explain why) - the name Junior immediately makes me think of someone very young and that really gave me an icky feeling when reading the vividly written sex scenes in which Junior was doing ungodly things to Lauren. I know that it's common, especially in wealthy powerful families and it's probably just a me problem, but I really really hated that.
