Where do I start?? Good gracious. I’m honestly not sure how I feel about this book. There were so many disturbing moments that I don’t even know how to describe what I felt. It’s not your run of the mill erotica that’s for sure. It was dark and very gritty and at times made my toes curl. I hated everything about Nathan the main character. He was so demeaning and condescending to Lila (the main female character that I wasn't sure I was going to be able to tolerate him. I wanted to put the book down several times but something was telling me, nagging me NOT to give up and keep going. There was something about these characters that seemed to draw me in and keep me captivated. Even in the moments where I cringed I still couldn't stop reading. This is definitely a story about two people with extensive emotional issues. They’re both emotionally tormented by the demons of their past but find some sort of comfort in each other. The problem is that Nathan doesn't want to want Lila. He doesn't want to need her the way he does and that brings out a very aggressive and angry side of him. The relationship is TOXIC!! So freaking TOXIC. It drove me mad. Totally and utterly mad. I was so protective of Lila that I really hurt for her. I got her need for him but that didn't mean I liked it and I certainly didn't love the way he treated her, even though she apparently LOVED it. Nathan and Lila have secrets, dark, intense and soul crushing secrets that they carry around with each other. As the story goes on these are uncovered and you learn a little more about why they are the way they are. It’s crazy.... if I could described this book in three words it would be
ANGSTY
EXPLOSIVE
AND
SCORCHINGLY HOT
It’s well written and definitely worth a read but I did however have several issues with the book. The first was the way Lila submitted to Nathan. I could not get past how turned on she was by his demeaning words and the way he handled her. I mean, yeah it’s okay to like it rough and dirty but for me there were times where Nathan crossed the line. I love when the guy can get nasty with his girl!!! I really love it, but with Nathan there was something so much Darker in it and it bordered on being abusive (IN MY OPINION). I guess I should warn you that the word cock slut, slut and little whore are used FREQUENTLY in sexual situations, which is almost the entire book. That all these characters did was work and have sex, work and have sex. It was a constant cycle of an unhealthy tortured “relationship” by two people with issues. MAJOR FREAKING ISSUES!!
So be warned that this book is NOT for the easily offended. It’s NOT for those that can’t handle a little rough and bruising sex. It’s extremely dark, gritty and raw. There are no pretty bows to tie things up and the ending is a CRAZY cliffhanger!!
BUT
With all that said I still enjoyed it and I would definitely be interested in reading the next book. Call me crazy but I want to know what happens with these characters. I want to know if they can get help and figure themselves out. Is there hope for them? Can they both live a normal life after all the hell they've been put through? My mind is running with questions!! There’s so much I need to find out. I want to forgive Nathan and move past this issue I have with him because I think deep down there is a deeply torture, good man waiting. I want to like him and I’m hoping in the next book Infraction (breach #2) I will.
Overall I would say I have a love/hate relationship with this book. I want to hate it but I can’t ...I just can’t. The writing was great and I think the characters are certainly interesting. It was a 3.5 Stars book for me.

I know friend!!!! Ok, so I deleted lots of friends because I was missing so much on GR then I've added the option to have an email daily of reviews from friends so I don't miss a thing!! :-) but its so hard to keep on top lol, I've been here just missed out on your fab reviews BUT I follow all your bits and bobs on Facebook too!! Anyway I'm rambling *big hug* I'll always remember you as the lovely reviewer who welcomed me when I was new to Goodreads *sniff* LOL ❤❤❤ MWAH!!
You are right on with your review and my feelings are mostly the same on the book although I rated it higher. I have so many questions after reading it. I agree with you I wasn't crazy about the use of slut and whore, I felt they just weren't necessary. There were several cringe worthy things but I thought the writing was really good and I am so intrigued to find out the whole story and see what happens with these two emotionally damaged characters.
