Read 2 times. Last read August 13, 2022 to August 14, 2022.
This book ATE and left no crumbs because I loved every second of it. 💅
Trisha Wolfe wrote this with such meticulous detail and it showed. I had so much fun while reading because everything about this book was so well thought out. The psychological aspect was phenomenal and I loved that about it. I love that I’ve found a new fav author!
I have to say that the plot was guessable until it wasn’t. I didn’t guess that there would be more to her past. It was actually a great plot twist and for that reason 5 Stars!
Somehow Trisha Wolfe got me to love the FMC as well as the MMC and I can’t get over them!
𝗟𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗢𝗡 𝗡𝗢𝗕𝗟𝗘 has a piece of my heart because she eventually took what she wanted without a glance backwards. The way she used her brain to draw out Graysons little tells. I specifically enjoyed the beginning where she handed that guy his ass in the courtroom 💅
𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗬𝗦𝗢𝗡 𝗣𝗜𝗘𝗥𝗖𝗘 𝗦𝗨𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗔𝗡 was the definition of boy obsessed and I need that shit 𝒊𝒏𝒋𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒅 into my veins 🤌
He was so observant and learned all her ticks. The guy did everything to make them meet. And all the shit behind the scenes?? 🤭💘
He literally went through so much just to get to her and gahh this GUY is so interestingly psychotic I couldn’t help but wait with bated breath to see what he was going to do next. The amount of times he actually followed through with his word was so fucking refreshing.
He would go and say shit like this:
𝐀 𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡. “𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞,” 𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐬.
“𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐬𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲. 𝐄𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐬.”
~MOUTH FUCKING OPEN FOR HIM
AND THIS:
“𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐬𝐨 𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐜𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫.”
~he’s giving Zade and I accept.
“𝐖𝐞’𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫. 𝐈’𝐦 𝐚𝐥𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐧. 𝐒𝐨 𝐢𝐟 𝐈 𝐝𝐢𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐮𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐛𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞…𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐫.”
Oh, and this:
“𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐞.”

I have a thing for psychotic behaviour where he doesn’t give a fuck about anyone but the girl. Idc. Idc.
ALSO SHE FUCKING STABS GRAYSON TOO! <3

It reminded me of 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙤𝙣 𝙗𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙠 but without the brother and the fact that the MMC was actually a convicted murderer.

"A grin hikes the corner of his mouth. “Look how tense you are,” he says. “The need to ask your little questions tightening every muscle in your body. Especially those thighs.”
