But in subtle way, through flashback chapters, we see the budding relationship between Kade and Stacey and how they were mad about each other and equally obsessed.It begs the question as to the Kade and Stacey of today are so bitter and hate each other, so what would have happened to make them so?Kade is such a complicated character and also what he does which is a secret from everyone including his own family makes him all the more dangerous and deadly.Especially being Tobias Mitchell's son, the psychopath himself who is infamous for his love story and how dangerous he is, Kade still has shades that seriously make you question as to what to feel about him.He was way hot one moment and way cold one moment. But there's a huge misunderstanding and it's something that Stacey has never told anyone but that has led to the destruction of something that could have been sweet between them.I absolutely loved their maddening wild chemistry. How Kade and Stacey would throw verbal barbs at each other and are arguing any moment they are together.Yet at the same time you can feel this simmering of heat and desire between them and emotions so strong, both are strongly denying it like their life depends on it.I'm really looking forward to the next one for sure. Especially I'll be reading Tobias' book because that man has freaking intrigued me oh so much.

Last 10% of the book felt like an action packed Hollywood movie, I just finished it and I need a moment to articulate my thoughts😩❤

It looked promising in the beginning but it got pretty boring. The plot wasn't making sense. What do you mean that you hate your ex but still sleep with them? Did not finish.Tons of smut but boring. Did not finish.

I started reading this book because of Tobias Mitchell's book hype.And oh my god !! This book emotionally wrecked me. It's so traumatizing to read what happened to Kade and Stacey. Both of them enduring such unimaginable pain and suffering with no one to rely on not even each other. Their suffering is almost unbearable to read at times. The she-devil makes me sick. I want to strangle her so badly.I love miscommunication trope. It serves the best kind of yearning.All the unsaid words, and lingering tension make the slow burn so much more rewarding at the end.KadeStacey's teenage chapters were pure magic to read. They had me blushing and smiling like crazy. The nervous and intimately shy kid who fancied his sister’s best friend, slowly understanding these new emotions was so endearing to read. His fear of messing things up and ruining what they had made every tender and slow moment even more special.I kind of debated about giving it 3.75 or 4 stars because even after everything, something felt missing. The smut scenes were undeniably hot and steamy but they seemed to take away the intensity of the yearning and longing. The slow burn and emotional tension could have reached a whole new level, making the longing unforgettable but it slightly overshadowed the emotional yearning for me.I get the hype around Tobias Mitchell now. I absolutely fell for the very infamous psychopath. I adore his and Stacey's bond. And love how fiercely he loves his son. Can't wait for his book.As emotionally frustrating as it is, it has some really beautiful moments. I loved it.
