The book was definitely funny and I loved both main characters, but it felt like we had a ton of tension build up for not much pay off. Silas as a character just didn't make sense to me. Like a golden retriever man, in an alt body. All his inner thoughts were so domineering/commanding and strong, but we barely saw that in action. Also all the talk about pierced peen and yet not once did they describe how that improved literally anything.

All I've learned from this book is that I will DNF for religion so fast but am a slut for stalker romances. All of the religion in the beginning made me so angry, it was too on the heels of another religious/purity/slut shaming book I read and I was about to call it quits and move onto something else. Then I got Aero's POV and I was back in.
I see a lot of reviews being either 5 stars or 1 star and comparing to Zade of HA, and let me say.. I love Zade and HD Carlton so much, but they are different characters. Everyone complaining “ZADE COULD NEVER” don't seem to understand the whole point of an origin story and why that makes their behavior incredibly different. Their motives, their backgrounds, their type... is entirely different. Just because someone has a gun, flowers, and is a stalker.. doesn't mean they are a cheap version of ZADDY.
Anyway, as long as you like rough, stalker romances and aren't hoping for everything to have a deep, emotional reason for every minute action like ZADE, you will probably enjoy this book. There were entirely too many moments that I was squealing like a schoolgirl and yelling at my friends to read this, in a way that didn't match the tone of what was happening in the book. Yes, I realize that I'm the problem. ... it's fine
