      Let s see This wasn t mind blowing as I expected, but it didn t let me down either It was a good story but I think the author could have added it a few twists to make it even interesting.I mean the plot is about a selfish prick of husband that is interested in guarding his money than paying attention to his wife, and a wife that I was willing to slap hard cause she wouldn t find her own courage to open her mouth and say a few little truths to her dear hubby and a f cking handsome bachelor tha [...]

      When you strip this down to the base storyline it s a simple concept that has been done a lot before The difference here is that this one was coated in gold it s woven together with real talent and presented like a gourmet dish It kicks you in the stomach and makes your heart ache I went through a bit of every emotion possible while reading this It was a rollercoaster ride, but it s turned me into an adrenaline junkie It s not an easy or a particularly pleasant read, it hurts in places and makes [...]
