I enjoyed this. The banter; the attraction; the relationship.
I wasn't sure about this book; whether I wanted to read it; would I like it. And the answer now I have is yes and yes.
It hooked me in from early on and I so wasn't expected that to happen in the first chapter, not with how Chloe had described Bennett. And then I had to laugh when she just left him there and I knew I was going to really like it. Then as the hot sex and insults continued throughout, I just wanted to shout, "Get on with it and admit how you feel, you idiots!"
There was a nice progression to it, their feelings didn't suddenly occur, you saw it happen and I loved that.
I think I need to read the rest of the series now to see how some of the other characters and Bennett and Chloe's story continues.

However, the writing flows very well and feels not too dissimilar to a story. I like that there are references in the book with small links to them so you know it is truthful. So much work has gone into this and you know that Hallie Rubenhold really has a passion for this subject.
The stories are so sad, I think the author does a good job of remaining objective other than the last chapter. It really brings out the victims stories and changes the narrative of the story behind them.
At points there are a lot of characters and names to keep hold off. Sometimes the new characters are just introduced and I was left thinking "who" until a few pages later.
