This is the worst book I've read in a long time. I wanted to quit after reading the first half of the book because I'm not a fan of smut. The characters are completely unlikeable. I kept at it and thought it was about to get better towards the middle; however, I was wrong. I feel like I wasted a week of my life. The end was so awful, I could see it coming so I just skimmed the last bit and it left me feeling disgusted. I finished it last night and I still feel yucky (like I "need to take a shower" as another reviewer said. Don't waste your time!
