“At least I got to kiss her” - Kade

Kade Mitchell has 5 rules:
1. Stay away from your toxic ex ☠️
2. Do not unblock her number
3. If you’re in the same room, don’t even look at her—it’s a trap
4. Under no circumstances succumb to sexual activities with her.
5. Never forgive Stacey Rhodes.

Guess how many rules Kade will break

‼️ATTENTION‼️
The book comes with very strong warnings that I know most of you often skip reading, but I strongly advise you to take a look before proceeding with this book‼️
It is strictly unsuitable for minors, with the extra spicy scenes being the least of your concerns!

‼️ATTENTION‼️
The book is highly addictive, with the risk that you may have to abandon your daily routine and drop everything! If you have an important meeting at work, DO NOT start it before the weekend arrives!

A book that will grip you from its first page and, at some point, will start breaking bones before you even realize how a shattered love story turned into a filthy human swamp.

The story starts very interestingly, with a broken couple full of tension and hatred and ends up as something much stronger and bigger. The book deals with sex trafficking in its darkest aspects, presenting all its grim sides and the impact it has on every human life that comes into contact with this vile network.

Scenes that shock and characters you utterly despise, and somewhere among all this, a powerful love that once had it all and now is counting its pieces.

The book’s asset is the couple’s flashbacks. The tender and love-filled scenes from the past, which are in stark contrast to the harsh present, will break your heart a little and finish you off slowly and gradually.

The book has some gaps and some holes, but believe me, as it didn’t bother me, it won’t bother you either, because the message it conveys is so powerful that nothing will be left standing in its wake.

The characters elevate the plot—even the disgusting ones?—with the highlight being Kade and Stacey, who deeply convey their pain and trauma. Their chemistry is incredible, and the tension between them will truly leave you speechless, while you’ll enjoy every spicy scene to the fullest, as these are the kind of erotic scenes that don’t just exist in a book but are given for a reason and mean a lot.

Stacey is one of those dynamic protagonists who will captivate you with her character and quick wit, while Kade... oh, this boy, you can’t help but love and feel for him. He’s the boy you’ll want to give a huge hug to at the end more than anything else.

The author writes beautifully! She can deliver from small funny scenes and lines to amazing scenes that tear your soul apart, and her style is so direct that you can’t help but feel the story in your bones.

I recommend this book to anyone who thinks they can handle the trigger warnings and continue, as it’s a story worth reading and that will leave you with an unforgettable bittersweet mark at the end.
