An interesting ARC and I want to say a huge thanks to NetGalley, the author and publisher for allowing me access.

I do love a billionaires romance book and this didn’t disappoint. It was sexy, hot and all about the billionaires.

I just felt it lacked depth. The characters didn’t seem to fully develop throughout the book and I wanted a little more from them.

It was more of a dark romance which I didn’t see coming but enjoyed that aspect of it.

I received this book for free for an honest unbiased review from Netgalley.

I wish more books were this well written. Characters were witty and the setting fantastic.

I liked this book however wasn't for me nothing to do with the writing or author may try again later on

I had to dnf this book simply because I wasn’t in the mood for it but it has great aspects that I’m sure I would love when I go back into it

What drew me in to read this book was the tropes! All some of my favorites (guilty as charged) and I was not disappointed.
This book was perfectly paced, he characters were well developed. I enjoyed the way Skye was both shown as sweet and fiery, as kind and confident. Her chemistry with our billionaire Killian was amazin (and hot). The relationship arc was interesting and as a huge fan of groveling in books I was very happy with the detailed grovelling Killian went through;
I wasn't a big fan of the side characters who will obviously be the next main couple in the next book. I enjoyed this book.

This book was so good, I feel like initially I really like it but it wasa nothing to write home about and then I read it a SECOND TIME because I just could stop thinking about Killian and Skye. Seriously this book stuck with me for way longer than it should have but there was just something about it that was honestly addicting.

It's a story about stalking but not really in the cruel way.
It is sweet and a little bit funny.

I liked the way they acted.

Have fun reading!

Tainted Dreams - Kimberly Quay

This book was darker than I was expecting, but a good change from the norm. The story line was a little unrealistic, but still enjoyable. There is plenty of spice if that is for you. Having read other reviews on this book many people seem to dislike the pace but personally I really enjoyed the fast pace of this book, and found it good escapism. Thanks so much Netgalley and BooksGoSocial for this e-arc in return for my honest thoughts and opinions.

This was a billionaire 'dark' romance. It wasn't my favorite depiction of the genre. I felt like it could've been a lot darker. The writing style was 'meh' in that I feel like it needed or could have had more depth. It wasn't a terrible story. The storyline has so much potential. I will give this author a second chance with the second book in the series

I did not finish this one, it was not for me, I couldn't relate to the characters, and just did not care for the story.

Well written, fast paced storyline. It kept me gripped and i read this in a day.
The storyline borders on slightly stalkerish, intense, and fast paced.
It was my first book to read by the author and i have already got her other books on order.

A gripping and intense love story that explores the depths of desire and obsession. Killian Asher, a self-made billionaire with a cold heart, is a man who never gives in to temptation until he becomes captivated by Skye Larsen. Skye, tormented by her past, is drawn to Killian in a way that defies reason.

The book delves into the complex dynamics of their relationship, as Killian's obsession with Skye intensifies, and Skye is consumed by her desire for him. The narrative is a rollercoaster of emotions, filled with tension, passion, and a sense of longing that keeps readers on the edge of their seats.

It's a thrilling and provocative read that will leave you questioning the boundaries of desire and the lengths people will go to in pursuit of love.

I really enjoyed this book!
I loved the relationship between Killian and Skye! And I really love billionaire romance books so this was right up my street!

The book was ok, definitely not my vibe right now , but if you like dark , stalker MMC, spice and billionaires , this is for you for sure .

Killian Asher isn’t the kind of man who gives in to temptation. He’s coldhearted and lethal. A self-made billionaire, his focus is on his business, taking down anyone who stands in his way. He has no time for relationships and no woman has ever come close to piercing the armor around his tainted heart. Skye Larson keeps a smile on her face and a bounce in her step, but inside she’s tormented by her past. Owner of Skye Yoga, she spends her days teaching others how to find inner peace, and her nights pouring out her inner turmoil onto a canvas.

Tainted Dreams, book one in the TAINTED series is a haunting exploration of obsession, love, and the blurred lines between the two.

Killian is the perfect anti-hero and Skye is the perfect girl that has guarded her heart. The attraction between the two is palpable from the beginning. I really enjoyed how the two developed throughout the story - she became a stronger adult and he became much more relatable. The story flowed nicely and I cannot wait to dive into book two!

Thanks to NetGalley and Turnit Publishing, LLC for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Very smutty! Hot! I love Ana Huang and Lauren Asher and this felt similar in it being darker! It just felt a bit too long for me, IDK.
If it sounds good, try it!

so good im screaming! super spicy and also has a really good plot. I love when the plot makes you want to keep reading and not just the spice.

2.5 stars!

I was expecting for more but it was not dark as I thought it would be. I find myself disappointed by the lack building of character. Why created someone to be a bad character only to be dismissed so quickly? There's barely 2-3 pages of that bad character then they were gone. To be honest there was no chemistry between and there's some part moves too quickly.

There were a lot of spice scene but it did nothing to me. It didn't delivered well. Shame I like these two in the beginning.

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book.

I like spice. . This book has spice but I couldn't understand the story line. I felt their story line was dragged.out. it gave the feeling of wanting to be a 2nd chance but bot be a 2nd chance.
