I loved this book, but honestly at first I had a love hate relationship with the 4 horsemen… But once I kept listening I fell in love with all 4 men!!! Damon is still kind of iffy for me… I honestly just love Penelope’s writing… what you find out about damon explains so much….

Erika pissed me off so bad. Where is the self respect lol. The plot was good which was why I finished it, I was really curious why this was all happening, but it also took SO long to get to the point/reason. The spice itself was good and not constant, but Erika realllllly gave me secondhand embarrassment. Her choices and reasonings - and everyone else’s - solidifies they all need help lmao.

Jävligt bra, mötte med något ännu bättre när den blev lite tråkig (den va inte tråkig ofta) och glimpsarna av 3 år tillbaka och nutid va bra timing. Gillade epilogen den va söt.
The catacombs scene och steam room/sauna scene va ju de mest… intressanta

This just isn’t my cup of tea, but I think it’s generally well-written. I hope it continues to find the right audience (which isn’t me😂).

When I say it isn’t my cup of tea, I mean Damon isn’t my cup of tea. I don’t really know how he’s going to be redeemed. I know he is because he has a book, but I don’t see any world where I believe that Rika would be okay with having him in her life again, let alone being close to him. Also, Michael says he loves her and all is well? I just feel like he and the other Horsemen got let off real easy for doing all that stuff to her when she didn’t even do anything. I like kinky, but I don’t like bullies.

well can't say it's a good book but it's enjoyable if you accept a bunch of things just don't make sense
and the mystery part was interesting enough 
I had to roll my eyes every time a bunch of fucking 19/22 year olds were soo powerful and untouchable though lol feels ridiculous
