This book at the beginning it was slow and wasn't much of a page turner after the 2nd or 3rd chapter I literally read it almost in one sitting.

The plot was interesting although certain parts was predictable. The steam level to this was very spicy!!!

Definitely recommend.

This was one of those books that left me breathless by the time I got to the end of the book. I went through all kinds of emotions by the time I got to the end. I especially loved the relationship between Gabrielle and her son, as well as her strength and determination. This was a fast paced read in my opinion and was very well done. I did not want to put this book down. Thankfully I didn't have to work the next day because it kept me up to well past 2 am.

I received a copy of the book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Sadly this just wasn't for me. I found it difficult to connect to the characters and invest in their story and relationships. Additionally, the plot and the writing felt quite disjointed and jumpy. The plot dealt with some heavy topics, however it lacked the detail that was needed to explore these things effectively,

A strange book that I'm not too sure what to make of. It keep me intrigued, I certainly wanted to get to the end of it and it seemed well written, although there were a few discrepancies over kidney/liver problems that grated on me. The plot twists were good and the family dynamics hard hitting. Easy enough to read but I wasn't comfortable with some of it.

This book actually started off really well. An escort Gabrielle meets oliver. He enchants her but also leaves her pregnant. She hears nothing from him other than a deposit of money in her account each month. Then 10years later he’s knocking on her door. Again he leaves her pregnant however the money stops. In order to survive she needs to track him down.

This is when she tracks down his family and the bizarre story begins. It did have the makings of a good story but for her to become a feeder. Weird. Not for me I’m afraid.
Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to see an arc

This book was really good and a fast read. I was able to read it in about 4 hours because it kept me wanting to learn more about what was happening. Gabrielle's story is crazy to say the least and the fact that she ended up with David made me happy. This book has love and a mystery. I would recommend it to others.

Every now and then I enjoy a change to womens fiction and romantic comedies and like to read a good piece of erotic fiction.

Unfortunately this book didn’t hit the mark for me. I found the storyline strange, the writing didn’t quite flow right - I had to re-read paragraphs to work out who was speaking and what they were referencing. I really didn’t like the fixation with the breast milk!

Authors spend a lot of time writing and pour themselves into their work. As a reader, I appreciate this and my review is a persona one and should not be considered a reflection of the author. This book just wasn’t my cup of tea.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for my advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review 📚

This book was a little choppy with the storyline and I found it hard to connect to the characters. I had so many questions as I went through it and found most were not really answered (mostly "why" a character was choosing to do something). I wanted to like this one as the plot sounded interesting but it fell flat for me.

Well I'm not to sure about this one?! This book was a little different for me?! The storyline was kind of interesting and also had intrigue, suspense, murder and quite a few plot twists! The different part for me was the breast feeding thing? I'm into breast feeding a child! anywhere you dang please but the way this story went?! I'm just not sure?! It was kind of cringey for me lol to each their own but that wasn't really my kind of thing! Other than that ,which was a big part of the story, the rest was great! Lol thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
