Hard Rules - Dein Verlangen

The book blends intense romance with suspense, and I'm curious how the pacing was managed to keep both compelling without overshadowing each other.

The characters' trust issues and betrayals made me feel so invested — but also a little drained. Was that intentional to heighten the stakes?

The atmosphere felt very deliberate, blending eroticism with mystery. I'm wondering whether the author drew from personal experiences or specific genres.
