This was a really well done dark romance thriller, it had that feel that I was looking for and enjoyed getting to read this. It was a overall strong story and thought the characters worked well in this world. SB Rogue has a strong writing style and am excited for more.

1.5⭐
The book follows multiple timelines. One is about two girls, Sam and Jenna, who fell in love at a young age; another focuses on a young woman, Alice, who has been kidnapped by a man demanding she call him Sir. There's also an old woman and a priest.
I quickly guessed who Alice was, but I was surprised to find out who Sir turned out to be.
There are so many characters, and all these stories unfold in parallel, making it hard to stay focused. I finished the book with great effort just to find out how it ends, but the ending disappointed me. After reading, I was left with only one question: what was that?

Thank you to NetGalley for this eARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

An amazing dark romance like I love them,

SO many secrets and twists and drama.

I loved the plot and caracters.

I was hooked from page one.

A really good mix between dark romance and suspense/thriller. An emotional rollercoaster that was a little bit predictable at times, but overall very well written.

Firstly thank you to the publishers for my early access in exchange for a review.
I’ve reviewed a few of this authors books and this is definitely one of their strongest .
Thought provoking and well written

This book is super unique. I’ve never read anything like this before. I really enjoyed the authors writing style. The way in which the chapters and different timelines flow together adds an element of suspense.I enjoyed the fact some chapters were very short and to the point while others were just long enough . I had so many theories about the characters while reading the story, then a curveball would pop up. And boy oh boy I was not ready for the ending.

This is one of those books that keeps you flipping through each page because you can’t wait to find out what happens next. Sam and Jenna, each brought their own kind of tension, excitement and passion in the story. Sir left me with my mouth agape a ridiculous amount of times. I highly highly recommend if you like dark romance//thriller.

Nope, just nope.
I stopped at 52%
I didn't like the multiple points of view, some topics (I know there was a warning at the beginning of the book but still). And it was boring.

Thank you Net Galley for the ARC. This book was an emotional rollercoaster i couldn’t put it down!! the mix between dark romance and suspense was soo addictive. while some moments felt a little predictable the overall story was engaging.

Thank you NetGalley for the arc.
This is a dark and compelling book.It starts off strong and you are easily sucked into the story. The tension and angst between Sir and Alice was believable. It kept me guessing as to how their story will unfold. The jumping between timelines gets confusing at first but it gets better as you continue reading it. The different POV’s was welcomed and I needed to know how they all relate to each other. It was a little predictable but I was still surprised by who the priest is. Overall, “The Good Girl” by SB Rogue was enjoyable, I loved the twists and I’m glad to have read it.

This one leaves me unsure.
This book follows multiple timelines and perspectives that jump around a lot. Jenna and Sam are this immediate love that just seems to keep missing each other while they grow from lusty teens to women making their way into adulthood. Then enter’s Sir who throws a wrench into everything.
The narrative is great although predictable, it’s easy to figure out who is who in the subtext of the chapters. I found the bouncing around of timelines to be confusing at first but it does start to become easier.
I expected way more steam than was actually given in this read, a lot of angst without the reader getting any of the follow through.
Overall, this read just left me unsatisfied in all ways.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the Publisher for the eARC.

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC.
The Good Girl is a dark romance about different relationships in different timelines. It might be confusing at the beginning but I was hooked trying to figure out the link between all the characters. The writing was good in an efficient way. If you were searching for flowery sentences with emotional descriptions, there weren’t many. But the author describes actions and sceneries really well, that I could imagine the scenes clearly and feel the characters’ pain lively through their actions.
Sam, my heart broke for her painful life.
Jenna… I sincerely did not like her. What she did to Sam was selfish. She had been suffering during her childhood/teenager phase because of her dad’s mysterious work. Then she’s done the same thing to Sam, hadn’t she ?
Alice and Sir, their scenes danced dangerously on the line between sensuality and …creepiness.
Last and not least, Jeff, I kind of like him. I wonder what happened to him.

I felt so many emotions reading this book. Wow.

I love that the storylines connect so effortlessly, and I literally could not put this book down, I had to force myself to go to sleep the past 2 nights.

This book kept me guessing and even when I did guess things correctly, I still wondered how it all connected.
There aren’t too many characters, so they were easy to follow and easy to love. The relationships in this book are so diverse yet somehow similar. I would absolutely read more books by this author. The romance portions weren’t super detailed that it took away from the storyline as a whole.

5 star read for me! Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read this in exchange for my honest review. :)

Dark thriller romance???? Heck Yeah!

The way the author intertwines two different timelines (one present day and the other 30 years ago). And even though both of these timelines and storylines are different, they both come together at the end. I am blown away at how the author executed this whole book, exceeding all expectations. Now this is a dark romance, so please check the triggers. And this book is spicy!

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the Publisher for the eARC.

This was a dark story. Actually, there are more than one included. I found the book to go back and forth between characters a lot. I wasn't a huge fan of that and I think each woman's story could have been a standalone. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

Thank you NetGalley and the Publisher for this ARC!!

I truly couldn’t put this book down! It offered an intriguing read, filled with moments of genuine emotion. While the prose was often beautifully written, there were times when it became a bit too flowery, occasionally detracting from the overall narrative.

The sisters at the center of the story came across as somewhat average in personality, making it challenging to develop a deep emotional connection with them. It was heartbreaking to witness how their suffering was overlooked by those around them, adding to the weight of their trauma.
Overall, this was a thrilling and emotional read, though not without its flaws. By the end, you’re left eager to discover who the culprit is— which sister could it be?

The stories were so seamlessly and smoothly blended together. The ending i didn't see coming for once. Incredibly written, definitely pulls you in and makes you fly through it.

Omg is what I can say bout this book. I was not expecting what I just finished reading. The way you get towards the end of the book and your brain just clicks and puts the pieces together. I did not expect for sir to be the priest and Sam to be Alice at all. I just thought it was multiple povs and it is but in different times. It was really well wrote honestly loved it.
