Wrong by Adelaide Forrest
She’s the girl I can never have.
Everlee likes to torment me, to enrapture me with her innocence at every turn. The games we play skirt the lines of what is appropriate, but I’d never allow myself to cross them. Her father would kill me if I did.
He’s my oldest friend, and I’ve watched his daughter blossom into the woman she’s becoming. My tastes are too deviant for her shining light, and I need an outlet even if she’s all I see when I close my eyes.
Enter Purgatory — the club that caters to every manner of taste. Arranging a meeting with a stranger to fill my needs, the last thing I expect when I look in the window of our meeting place is to find Everlee sitting and waiting for me at the table marked with a single red rose. I should walk away, end the agreement that never should have happened in the first place, but I can’t resist her. She chose a game with the devil.
I hope she’s ready to play.

Thanks for the review Kiley O. Hard pass on this one.
SPOILER ALERT! Wrong was about 44-year-old Landon Hart and 19-year-old Everlee Madden. I will say this about the story before I go on with my review: WRONG was absolutely the right title for this book because it was entirely wrong. Everlee was the daughter of Landon's BFF and business partner. He had helped his friend raise her from the time she was in diapers. As she grew older, Everlee developed a crush on Landon and used to flirt with him. When she turned 18, Landon started noticing her for the first time but did everything he could to avoid crossing boundaries. Landon and Marshall, Everlee's dad, were members of a sex club, and they were into some extreme BDSM kinks. One that Marshall didn't participate in was the one that brought things to a head between Landon and Everlee...kidnapping and rape roleplaying. Landon signed a contract with another (unknown) member of the same sex club. The plan was for Landon to show up at a coffee cafe, spot a woman with a red rose, and kidnap her. He would then take her to the sex club where they would both engage in the con-noncon (consensual/nonconsensual) roleplaying of rape. However, when Landon got to the cafe, the person he saw with the flower was none other than Everlee, and it enraged him to think she was willing to let a stranger take her innocence through the rape roleplaying. So...he kidnapped her and took her to the club. Once he revealed himself to her, she tried to convince him he had the wrong person. She begged him not to rape her, but he did anyway, no matter how many times she begged for him to stop, he didn't. When he was through with her, he finally checked his phone, which had been blowing up the entire time. Too late, he learned that the woman he was supposed to take was the one messaging him...and it wasn't Everlee. No matter how many times Everlee said NO throughout this book Landon refused to heed her, telling her repeatedly that she had NO say in what he did or did not do to her. Did he rape her again? Oh, yes, he did, but the second time was sodomy. She begged him not to do it, but again he told her she had no say. For someone who was a member of a sex club and was into BDSM, he offered her NO safe words, no hard limits. In fact, he offered her NO limits whatsoever. This man crossed so many boundaries, both hers and the BDSM lifestyle, it made me cringe. There was NO contract between them. He TOLD her she would be moving in with him and he TOLD her she would be marrying him. He also TOLD her he would not use any form of birth control. When she finally convinced him to use condoms, what did he do? This book was messed up in so many ways, I can't even fathom it. Sure, I understand BDSM and how that works. I am also aware that CONTRACTS are signed, agreed, and ADHERED TO, by BOTH parties partaking in the BDSM. There are SAFE WORDS allotted as well. When those rules are either ignored or broken, lines are crossed that should not be. If the FMC had AGREED to the roleplaying, I wouldn't have had a problem with the book. But SHE TOLD HIM SHE HAD NOT SIGNED A CONTRACT! He didn't listen. The way this man treated the FMC wasn't love...well, a demented kind of love perhaps, but you don't hurt the ones you love, no matter the lifestyle...UNLESS BOTH PARTIES AGREE TO NO CONTRACT! That wasn't the case here I understand some readers will adore this book, and that's okay. This review wasn't written for them. Do I think he traumatized her? Yeah, they both admitted she had suffered some trauma from the initial kidnapping and rape. She also got near to a mental breakdown after the SECOND rape...something HE admitted to realizing. Do I think she had Stockholm syndrome? Yeah, I do, because she chose to return to him after all of his deceptions were brought to light, and every time he started taking things too far, she had panic attacks, but she let him do his roleplaying anyway because she "enjoyed it" all the while reliving the trauma of the first attack. No, I can't give this book more than a one-star rating...and it makes me cringe to give it that. But, for all the bad that I mentioned, it had everything else that any true romance reader looks for in a book: it had high angst and drama, it had so many twists and turns that it kept the reader glued to the pages, even though some of it made the reader cry or flinch. I'd say it had spicy scenes, but most of those were forced seductions...one even occurred while she was asleep. For all of the good it had, one star was all it rated. Do I recommend this to others? No, I can't say that I do.
THANK YOU for your review, I am a rollercoaster of emotions when I read and this sounds horrifying
Dear lord, this sounds HORRIBLE
