About
If you want a dark, emotionally intense romance set in a criminal world, this may hit hard, especially if you liked Given or The Stranger by the Beach; Not for you if explicit scenes and heavy trauma themes are dealbreakers.
Pros: intense emotional pull; complex trauma themes; charged relationship tension | Cons: explicit scenes; heavy subject matter; feels like a prologue
