Beaux méchants

The tension and attraction felt so palpable — I wonder what inspired the evolution from hostility to passion. Was this a deliberate choice to keep readers hooked?

The atmosphere added so much to the mood, but I'm curious if the author drew from personal experiences or deliberately crafted this world to heighten the stakes.

The push and pull between characters felt intense, but sometimes I wondered if the portrayal of control was healthy or if it added to the dark allure. Would love to hear others' thoughts.
