Fangirl Moments and My Two Cents

At the beginning of this story, the author gives a statement something along the lines of this book is overdramatized on purpose, the reader isn't suppose to dissect each action and focus on if they believe a person would actually do what the characters do. I took that in and kept it in mind while reading.I love him in a way that's toxic. I know it because no matter how much my heart screams at me that something isn't right, I can't stay away. Marcus is hard, he's broody, he's not soft and he's not gentle but when he's inside me, deep inside, I feel him. I feel everything he refuses to let me see. And it's amazing. It's also how he got under my skin and stayed there.
This book is angsty in that you know bad times are coming. You don't know when the bottom is going to drop, but you know it will. The story flips between current times and past. This allowed for both mystery and a sort of connecting of the dots of certain events.

Marcus and Katia's relationship is like a ticking bomb. There are factors coming in from all sides to destroy it, including within. Katia completely worships Marcus. Marcus is a business machine for the most part. Family and friends come in to play. Everyone seems to be interconnected somehow. Since it is an unfinished story, I cannot give too many details because facts are meant to be learned a drop at a time while reading. Several points are made, but it keeps coming back to love and deceit."I'm asking you—no, I'm begging you—don't make me your toy. Pick someone else. Anyone else."

I found this entertaining, and I will read book 2 for sure.
FYI: Marcus has an off-the-charts hotness factor...
