PERSONAL THOUGHTS ABOUT THE BOOK

The plot feels very familiar to all fake-relationship stories, but the difference is Christian Harper is more dangerous, more exciting, more rich, more devilish and with more secrets than anyone. He is the perfect evil turned good(for her) fictional character anyone can write. He is authoritative almost domineering in his speech and style which fits very nicely with the damessal in distress charachter of Stella Alonso.

There is no particular direction of the story. It’s all about truth and trust being the pillars of a relationship. How the right person will open you up and you will be able to reveal the darkest sides and desires of yours without even flinching once. It talks about how the right man will never let you down and no matter how many times you fight he will always be there when you need him.

[P.S. Him calling her butterfly is almost a dream.]
