Reedsy Discovery

"One of the most thrilling aspects of this book is how it sheds a glaring light on the toxic masculinity that is usually romanticized through damsel in distress scenarios, when sometimes a person is simply coping with unaddressed and mismanaged trauma. The story is told in a manner that allows the reader to immerse oneself in the captivating and enthralling events that take place."

"Steele evokes strong emotion in readers as the story progresses, with palpable tension and steamy love scenes. The writing is strong and concise, conveying both action and description equally well."
