I cannot wait to see what this author does next, I loved this book. It was raw and emotional, . devastating and healing. I devoured it in one day, Relentlessbookchic approved and recommended!.I really liked most parts on this story, The beginning was so heartbreaking, I loved both the MC, I did feel that aboutmore pages in the middle would have taken this story to a completely different level, I felt the story's pace was just a tad too fast, I was let down when we got to the villain, I had to push deep and just go with it,
What I did love about this story was the chemisty between the MC, I loved how a broken girl can heal with the right kind of love and support, His family was fantastic! One look at her and they quickly embraced her, That strong family love was exactly what she needed, I'm so happy after everything she went through that she finally got that family she deserved, Licentious is about two people, Joey and Alessandro that have troubled past that have left them lost and broken in this world,

I thought this was a good read, I started and finished in one day, It's pretty dark a certain points in the story, I felt for Joey, that girl went through so much and her mom, oh I hated that women with a passion, I expected Alessandro to be an arrogant ass but he wasn't, he was passionate, caring, and protective, I really liked how everything played out in the end, .
