This is how many times these words have been written:
Shower: 65
Bath/Bathroom: 70
Wash/washroom: 53
They wasted so much water loll, they'd shower or wash or bathe or swim at least once a day, bit sometiems it would go up to 4-5. How their skin didn't fall off, I shall never know. XD
It wasn't a bad book necessarily, nice if you don't want too much plot, if you just wanna relax and not think too much. I didn't like that it was very insta-lovey, especially since Mak has gone through SA and slavery in general though.
As one review already mentioned, not very realistic how fast Mak was able to have sex not only with the woman that owned him, but her friend too. It felt exploitive even though he agreed. Especiall since in the beginning/middle of the book he was so worried she would share him with others, and said that he would do it with Macy if he HAD to do with with someone else (as a coping mechanism of sorts.). It just felt like he agreed just because its a woman + someone he knows + most importantly - Kira wants it (even though, apparently, he did want it) I don't know how to feel about that.
