REVIEW
Lazarus had a lot of guilt to work through, and unfortunately for Eve (and the reader), it often led to him pushing her away. I started to feel really bad for Eve when he continuously rejected her advances or froze her out after they shared intimate moments. Her self-esteem was already low, and I have no idea how it didn’t take a brutal beating.
I resented how much Lazarus kept from Eve, even if I understood why. This novel definitely could’ve shortened some if he communicated with her. I loved how big Eve’s heart was and how kind she was, even when she didn’t need to be.
I’ve already read the spin-off series, and I enjoyed those, so for me, this book was a fun addition to a universe I love. As an introduction, it was definitely approachable.
Overall, I enjoyed it. I love the world Sherilee Grey created, and if it all started here, then I owe this book a lot of admiration.
OW/OM DRAMA not really OM — Lazarus gets jealous of his friend, Brent, for being friendly and flirty with Eve, but nothing is going on there |||
OW/OM-ish — Brent owns a bdsm sex club and Eve gets turned on watching people, but her attraction ties back to Laz rather than the people participating in the acts
