I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

When I was offered this it was described as being like 50 Shades of Grey and the Crossfire series. Having liked both of these I thought I’d give it a go. In a way it was like them: young girl meets wealthy business man and can’t deny the sexual attraction. Unfortunately for me, it didn’t quite measure up. It didn’t draw me in straight away.

In fact, it took me a while to get into it. That might have been down to Gustav’s attitude and the fact he wasn’t very good at explaining what he wanted. It put me off a bit, I guess, and I couldn’t always understand the attraction. Serena, too, was a bit of a puzzle. The way she reacted sometimes; though that could probably be put down to her age.

After finishing the story I’ve been left with some questions. Why wouldn’t Gustav kiss her until near the end? Why did he with-hold from having sex with her for so long? What sort of lifestyle were Gustav and his wife involved with before? And why were Serena’s “parents” so horrible to her?

I suppose since this is the first in the trilogy that we will get answers to some of these in the following books. If I’m honest, I’m not sure if I’d be interested in continuing the series, though that ending has most definitely whetted my appetite.

Overall it was a god story that kept me wondering where it was heading but for me, having read 50 Shades and the Crossfire series, it just didn’t quite do it for me.

That being said, don’t dismiss a book without at least trying it for yourself first.

I was very much looking forward to the release of Borderlands 3 and honestly.....it only fell short ever so slightly


Firstly, the negatives......the slit screen is not the greatest. As a game series I play with my boyfriend, I was very happy to hear that number 3 would include the split screen play but have been left a bit disappointed. The split screen only comes is horizontal play, which can make some of the enemies hard to see, some controls off, and very hard to see your own menu.

Secondly, the subtitles, menu etc are all horrendously small. You can make it bigger but not by very much.

I really do hope that Gearbox fix these in their updates as I have seen online that a lot of other people aren't happy with these issues.


Up and on to the positives! The game itself is BEA-U-TIFUL. The graphics are very well done. The new characters are great too. There is SO many more weapons to find and it's much easier to gain experience and get good weapons.


Some of the quests are hard just because the sheer number of bad guys you have to kill and with the weird split screen, which likes to lag sometimes, but once you get used to it, your skill set is back up.


If you are a fan of Borderlands, I would very much still recommend you play 3. It is very much a classic Borderlands game and is very fun to play, also a great added bonus is Claptrap isn't as annoying as he is in the first two games.
