Readers will be at the edge of their seats while the couple fights their attraction when they’re apart while working together to win this game. It’s a constant push and pull of not giving into the desires of being with the one who understands you the most. Definitely became one of my favorite second chance romance books. Towards the end, soooo much was happening and there were so many plots and twists that I did not expect at all. Some scenes kinda gave me Joker and Harley Quinn vibes 👀

I think this author has potential but they need better beta readers to help them consolidate and deliver all the information that's in their head for this universe. Darla's character was so well written and developed (so was Zeno's character for that matter) and i loved seeing them interact together. Darla Ivy Hill. Principal of St. Victoria. Daughter of my enemy. My very own Persephone...and my soon-to-be wife. The way that they are both so obsessed with each other and so consumed by one another was so fun to read about. Cade went through so much but he still has the kindest heart and how he was with Olivia was the cutest thing everrrrr!! I am so happy he got placed in a household where they accept him for who he is. Also that mouth on Cade though 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨There were also so many twists I honestly didn’t see coming?? Honestly it was a wild ride, that’s all I’m gonna say. Ella was a badass at the end. The book was so entertaining to read, I read it in a day. The only thing I didn’t like was Cade calling Ella “baby girl” sometimes but that’s just me LMAO and I kinda wish their break was longer than 3 months so they could grow more?? But that's just minor details. This man is a total softie on the inside and i will be a firm believer in this forever. Zeno is, to outside world, a cold and intimidating man, but he’s someone who would do anything to protect his family and those he loves, and it’s really shown how much he loves and cares about each of his family members with the way he would defend them and even kill for them. It’s obvious that his family is important to him and that made me love him even more. Darla you have been shot, you have seen your husband, the love of your life, at gun point, saw a man die, scared for your baby, pretty traumatic things, but you don't want to be with the man you love??? You tell him you love him but you need to heal from the cirurgy and be with your family because of the scandal. And you don't want your husband's care and presence?? Accepting his gifts is okay, talking to him, telling him you love him and miss him but you don't want him with you??? You both need space??? Have you considered asking him to come with you to your family's home? There are so many things I wanna say about them. First of all, they referred to each other has Hades and Persephone, a beautiful couple from the Greek Mythology. Because I'm in love with Greek Mythology and Hades and Persephone being my most favorite couple, I loved it so freaking much whenever Zeno went like "My very own Persephone, My Wife, My Darla" I loved it so much!! They're so damn similar to Hades and Persephone. I just can't help it but say it again that I love them so much. Their chemistry was on cloud 9,so freaking perfect. They met at a sex club, had a one night stand and thought they won't meet each other again. Until Zeno realised Darla is the daughter of one of his enemies, Diane Hill. And he needed a wife so that he can be a heir, so who else would be fit to be his wife other than the woman who got him under a spell. So he went to her mother and asked for her daughter's hand in marriage. Eventually they get married so that the reputation of the Hill family would be stable and Darla is ofc hating him for this but the tension between them.. I have no words!!

Cade Killian Remington, with his beautiful blue eyes, bad boy aura and sinful touch, was the bane of my existence. A sizzling attraction that hasn’t gone away even though the couple is not together, major character development while the main couple is apart, major gut-wrenching heart to heart moments, a rebuilding of what once was lost, and a real commitment for starting over. Corrupted By You is one of the most surprising (in a very very good way) romance book I've ever read. Then tell him he’s forgiven. Tell him how you feel. My son is obsessed with you, Darla. His eyes light up when you enter a room and he listens to every word you say with the fascination of a man who is utterly owned. He buys you gifts, reads your romance novels, cooks with you in the evenings, and takes you on dates all over the city so he can make you the happiest woman in the world. When he thinks you aren’t watching, he stares at you like you created the universe. Zeno has completely fallen for you and he’s terrified. The thought of you not returning the depth of his feelings is a devastating reality for him.”🥹🥹 Trapped With You is a sexy, second chance romance that focuses on our two leads, Ella Ximena Cordova and Cade Killian Remington. It's based in the 'haunted' walls of St. Victoria - a convent turned into a high school - where they are paired to complete a set of dares for the infamous Initiation Night.Ella is such a badass, strong character and I love how well she carries herself. She’s pretty awesome, even though she can be clueless when it comes to the true nature of some of her close friends (namely Callie — ugh I hated her with a passion). I also felt for her, for the things she went through and I could understand the reasons behind some of her actions, even though they could be kinda rash. I also love how she can take care of herself, even though she has a protective and loving man behind her ready to fight for and with her. At times I liked these overly poetic and descriptive passages, but overall there were a bit too many of them. Many could've been cut shorter and condensed into one sentence in my opinion. To be fair though, there were also many, many quotes I absolutely adored and I highlighted more than in any book so far this year, but still it didn't balance these lengthy paragraphs. I'm definitely going to read Corrupted by You! It has older characters which perfect lmao Ellie told me to read this one first and I'm glad bc you do meet the heroine of book 2 in this one, Darla. She's Ella's childhood best friend and she's going to have a marriage of convenience/arranged marriage with a mafia guy in her own book. So, maybe I'm going to see Ella and Cada in the other book older with kids maybe??? SCREAMS HOPEFULLY THEY'RE THERE. I mean, Ella and Darla are besties now. No sex scenes with other people (H just makes out with OW thinking it was the h when he was drugged)

The way the characters grow and flourish is something I rarely see in books. Her characters are flawed with the intention to show growth. Because let’s be honest. NO teenager is perfect or perfectly logical. Darla’s growth throughout the book was very clear to see and it was great to see how she finally learned to put herself and her own personal needs above others or having to prove herself to her mother and the way she finally learned to stand up for herself and what she believes in was great to see! Trapped With You is about Cade and Ella, who have broken up 3 months ago and are unfortunately (for them) partnered up for this tradition at their school where they break in at night and do dares and other wild stuff. What was it about the dark that made it so much easier to confess our secrets? Was it the reassurance that if you could not be seen, you could not be judged?" The city of Montardor is Zeno's personal chess board and he will stop at nothing to make me his queen.

If you want to read this I'd recommend reading the first book first because the heroine was a side character in that book and there are a lot of details that would be confusing. The first time I saw my husband, he resembled a deity. My very own Hades, who stole and dragged me to the underworld. A lonely kingdom for two kindred souls. A place for us to rule and flourish and create life for many seasons to come.If I had known all those months ago this was what awaited me on the other side, I would have grasped his hand on the first night and pleaded with him to whisk me away." - Darla Ivy Hill. Now, about the book. This review will be spoiler free, so I wont give away too much details so the surprise element is there for old readers (because trust me, you will be surprised as hell) and it doesn't ruin the spark for new readers. That being said, if there is something I feel like will spoil the book, I will have it highlighted. The smut in this book was definitely on a whole other level and Darla and Zeno are definitely kinky as hell!! is all i’m going to say. This book is heavy on BDSM and mixed together with a dirty-talking Zeno and you get smut..a lot of it! These two both have their own fantasies and preferences and they truly get to embrace that darker side of themselves with each other very comfortably and i think that that’s probably the most important thing. Although Darla was a virgin when they met and Zeno wasn't, he definitely didn’t let Darla shy away from trying out new things and letting her test the waters with that she liked and was comfortable with, and i loved that about them. The spice in this book was definitely something else entirely (in a good way obviously) and might not be for everyone in terms of Zeno and Darla’s sexual activities. I mean she calls him “Master Zeno” and he calls her “Pet” in the bedroom so would we expect anything less than total steam from these two? Absolutely not. I have been WAITING for this rewrite since last year when she announced it. I loved the original – although it was written by a then-teenager and had some parts that made you cringe (no but seriously, let's talk about Wattpad ca 2014 lol)– it was the beginning of my love for young adult and New adult books.

THIS MF BOUGHT HER A PVT ISLAND??? AND A RARE 50 MILLION DOLLAR RING AFTER MEETING HER FOR THE 2ND TIME?? Anyway, I don’t wanna give any more spoilers than that so that but I will say, this book was definitely worth the read. The side characters are also interesting and would want to read their own respective stories if ever there are. A second chance romance that’s a little dark with a sorta bad girl x bad boy dynamic set in a creepy school setting?? What more do you want? St. Victoria, a church turned school was actually a really cool setting and really portrayed the vibe of the story I think. It was creepy and really unique.

Also I liked the idea of Initiation Night, the tradition where they do dares amongst other things at school. Although I wish it got a bit more wild because I thought it was a bit tame but oh well hehe The heroine reminded me of Blair Waldorf: she's rich, an heiress, and has a little bit of a bad side when she pretends to be a nice girl. Ella and Cade scheme and get revenge on their enemies and so many things. They're wild for 18yos. But Gossip Girl was the same and tbh this book reminded me a bit of the show (which I love!). i’m so obsessed with this book rn, i can’t stop thinking about it. i loved it SOOOO much. Cade and Ella are literal soulmates. their chemistry was off the charts and you could definitely feel their love for one another. i read this book in one sitting and NEVER once got bored. He's older, cunning, and completely irresistible. He deceived me one fateful night and now I'm utterly captivated. Ever since I was a young girl, I've lived under the scrutiny of Montardor's elite society and played by every one of my mother's rules until I became the quintessential daughter.
