so he decides he needs to fuck her and her out of his system’ 🍒 This is your stereotypical ‘mysterious virgin heroine’ and your ‘manwhore hero that refuses to fuck virgins until THIS particular virgin comes around and all the sudden he can’t think straight. Overall this was much better than book 1 which doesn’t really say much since Empire of Desire was traumatizing 90% of the time I noticed that I rated almost all Rina's books (with the exception of two) 3 stars.🗿 I liked this book more than the 1st one in the series. who is a sex-starved animal after that is up for debate 🤌🏻) (omg, this review is basically all about sex.
It probably has to do with my Russian genes.Ī dash of good ol' stereotypes to end this review on a light note ) Normal people hate the cold, but I find solace in it. Possessive pronoun + little + insulting endearment equals Irunía upping the rating a bit.
“You thought I would let you play me, my little liar?” There's just something about a man who licks your tears, calls you his little liar and is ready to invest all his money in your family mafia business so that your daddy, who happens to be the Russian mafia leader in NY, lets him marry you. the quote quite ironically perfectly describes my current state. I started the night with sophistication and martinis, but now, I just want my vodka, because something alien happened to me just now. ✨Actions are always superior to fancy Words✨ He was a bit parsimonious with acting upon his urges (punching Daniel in the face doesn't count ,👋🏻 where's the bloodbath? His inner Othello was such a tame, talkative pet 🔪). He was so unhinged verbally when compared to his almost laid-back demeanor. 🎯 Knox was possessive and jealous, but in a textbook kind of way. 🎯 Overall, the writing was engrossing and even if I cringed internally at a couple of intimate scenes here and there, the experience wasn't that traumatizing. Can we please not let that particular legacy spread like a contagious disease. 🎯 Also, may I add that fairy tale dreams and witchlike hair were giving me the least benevolent flashbacks of another author's books (Saffron *cough* Kent *cough*). Seeing as how they occupied roughly 50% of the narrative.🗿🚬 That had nothing to do with the fact that Knox and Anastasia had particular preferences in sex and everything with the way they were described: nothing special and personal about those moments. 🎯 I found their sex scenes bland, repetitive and roughly written. Intellectually, we all know that (courtesy of the genre) Knox and Anastasia were going to get away unscathed and end up together, but emotionally I'd love to be kept on the edge of my seat for a minute or two, huh? 💅🏻 So, in a sense, it 'sounded' like a string of harsh moans instead. This book was too concerned about supplying smut-fest to give a damn about following the unsophisticated rule.
If it sounds flat and smooth, it will not cause any emotion, and the day after tomorrow it will be completely forgotten as if it never even existed.Ī good melody should have transitions between sweet notes and sharp minors. In the light of this, I perceived the challenging circumstances that both Knox and Anastasia had to deal with as an elaborate game of make-believe more than anything else. The moment I experienced slight anguish for Anastasia, right after two Russian shady dudes had almost torn the poor girl's soul out, and was revelling in Knox's knight with shining armor mode, the author didn't let it last, because, you know, feeding us with a public sex scene is obviously more important.
Every time I was starting to feel something - whether it was anticipation or excitement or thrill - Knox and Anastasia went at it like sex-starved animals, which cheapened the general atmosphere of impending "disaster" and grand revelation to come. 🎯 The major issue I had with this book was sex galore that interfered with my plans to fully embrace the angst and intensity of it. ✨ Sex approaches infinity and sexual tension tends to zero✨ - not my favorite combination. 3.2 do you even need cunnilingus in your life if he licks your tears whenever you cry.
