I understood what this book was trying to do but I think it missed the mark.
Lena Aden is almost thirty, living in LA trying to make it as a screenwriter. When she attends a party with her model roommate Johanna, she bumps into Nico Laurent, current F1 champion. This is not a romance and from their first meeting, you get that. It is very much about control.
I have read plenty of dark romances where the male main characters are morally grey but this felt like a cheap imitation. Not only were the things that Nico did horrendous but I felt as though a lot of it was written for shock factor. It felt disjointed and although we got a little glimpse of a backstory, it wasn't enough.
I felt as though there was a lack of conclusion at the end also. Not one for me.
