"Destructively Alluring (Allure #1)" by N. Isabelle Blanco is a contemporary
Erotic romance novella that fails to live up to its promise.
Firstly, the characters were difficult to connect with. The protagonist was frustratingly indecisive and lacked a clear sense of identity or purpose. The love interest was overly controlling in a very bad way (kinda toxic). I didn't feel invested in their romance at all.
Secondly, the plot was confusing and disjointed, making the overall narrative feel messy. The writing style was quite repetitive and lacked polish and at times felt like it was trying too hard to be edgy and provocative. I found myself struggling to stay engaged with this predictable story and had to force myself to continue reading.
Finally, the ending felt rushed and unsatisfying, leaving me feeling disappointed with the overall reading experience. While it may appeal to fans of the genre looking for a quick read, others may find it lacking in substance and depth.
