Did I enjoy this book? Full disclosure: I like all of Colleen Hoover’s books. This one was not my favorite. In my mind, Ms. Hoover’s books are like pizza, even the bad ones are still good, and I’m certainly not calling this one bad. The author has this amazing way to write characters such that you have an extreme reaction to them. Usually you love them and are rooting for them. In this book, Asa is the exact opposite. This character has absolutely no redeeming qualities–he is vile and disgusting, yet somehow still believable!! Sloan wasn’t my favorite heroine, but I didn’t hate her. The basic plot of the story seems unbelievable, but maybe that’s just because I’ve never been in the type of situation where I’ve been completely reliant on another person and forced into situations that I wouldn’t normally be in. If you accept the basic premise, the book is pretty good.

Would I recommend it? I like all of Colleen Hoover’s books, so yes I recommend it. This is a pretty extreme book and has some very mature sections. If you are sensitive to those sorts of things, this is not the book for you. But if you have read any of this author’s books, I would recommend reading them all!
 

 

About the book – from Goodreads: Sloan will go through hell and back for those she loves.
And she does, every single day.
After finding herself stuck in a relationship with the dangerous and morally corrupt Asa Jackson, Sloan will do whatever it takes to get by until she’s able to find a way out.
Nothing will get in her way.
Nothing except Carter.

Sloan is the best thing to ever happen to Asa. And if you ask Asa, he’d say he’s the best thing to ever happen to Sloan. Despite Sloan’s disapproval of Asa’s sinister lifestyle, he does exactly what he needs to do in order to stay a step ahead in his business. He also does exactly what he needs to do in order to stay a step ahead of Sloan.
Nothing will get in his way.
Nothing except Carter.
