It was just ok. The movie was better.
Things that annoyed me:
1. Laura was a brat. Her tantrums were out of control. You already decided you liked/wanted him, and would flip out all the time. Oh he's too controlling, oh I like when he's controlling its so alpha. Well which is it???
2. The fainting spells and repeatedly waking up with no memory because you got blackout drunk. Who gets blackout drunk from champagne and wine??? And how many times are you going to faint? Do people really faint that much? I don't know anyone who has EVER fainted...
3. Slapping him repeatedly (outside of bed). In bed it was hot, outside of it...Bratty and disrespectful. How you would like it if someone slapped you all the time?
4. Calling him "the man in black" every other page. Ok we get it, he was wearing black when you met him. Just say his name dammit!
5. The pacing was off. It would move so fast sometimes that it left you confused as to how you got there. It left gaps in the story because it jumped from one situation to another without a smooth transition. I hate that.
6. This book would've been better with a dual POV. It would've been nice to be in Massimo's head and know what he was thinking. Especially because Laura is kind of annoying.
Overall, it gave a bit more info to tie into the movie, but the movie was better and more likable. Definitely not something I'll ever re-read, but I will read the other books in the series if they translate it.
