I received no compensation from the author or publisher for this honest review.
What happens when a Dom and a Sub find each other too early in life? Should they turn their backs on their destiny just because they're too young?
Nerdy. Boring. Unavailable. 18-year-old Jaike Hepburn is happiest when those words are used to describe her. But then a billionaire playboy comes along, and it becomes impossible to deny her secretly submissive self.
Charming. Friendly. Perfect. This is what 21-year-old Derek Christopoulos strives to be for the sake of his parents' legacy. All his life, he's kept his darkness hidden, waiting for that one girl who'd take pleasure in belonging to him.
When Derek and Jaike finally met, they both knew the truth in an instant.
She is his, and he is hers.
My Thoughts
Overall Rating
Novel Breakdown
Characters: 3.5
I am not sure how I truly feel about this pair. Jaike is very introverted and dating a "safe" guy. Derek wants her ever since the first time they meet and he felt that she was the "sub" for him. Jaike did not really pull me in like she should have as a main character and Derek got on my nerves just a little with his "I am Dom" hear me roar behavior.
Plot: 3
Not much of one. Young man wants girl that he feels is submissive and will work as a sub for him. Girl is afraid of feelings and rejects his advances.
Flow: 4
I was not jarred out of the story and everything was in order and easy enough to follow.
Believability: 3.5
Some of Derek's behavior was stalkerish, at least in my opinion. If I was Jaike, I would run too.
Sexual Tension: 4
Jaike was hyper-aware of Derek and those scenes, where some of the simplest gestures and actions happened, took on a new dimension because of it.
Romance: 3.5
I felt there was more "lust" than love in this story, especially on Derek's part, though Jaike did have some attraction to him that she was afraid to admit to.
