Once You’re Mine

I didn’t hate this book.

It felt a little rushed in places but it was an easy read and it wasn’t overly dark. Maybe not dark enough for me but I would definitely recommend this as a good starter book for someone looking to get into the dark/stalker romance genre! #darkromance #bookish #readersoflemon8

Super quick, fun read. I liked the slow buildup for the romantic/sexual tension. This style MMC usually feels way over done, however I really liked Hayden and that there actually seems to be more to him than just broody morally gray man. Calista is a decent FMC, I do like that she has normal respon
