I am just happy I've chanced upon this series. 

Morally grey men are freaking hot, only when they're in the books.

King is different from Nero, but they obsessed over their wives with just the same intensity. And I am living for that! 🥵

Dom, you're next.

S.J. Tilly never disappoints! I absolutely loved this book from start to finish. I swear Nero and King are so unintentionally hilarious I can read a book of them just quipping at each other. I love that there’s no time wasted on having second thoughts or making stupid decisions. They way that these men love and protect their women is something else let me tell you. The story is amazing and it’s also well paced, you don’t feel like your just going through the motions as reader or that the author is just dragging the story line either.

It was just okay. Seemed all over the place, and the King character in this book seemed different from the King character i read in the Hans and Nero books. He felt so young and carefree in those 2 books i was shocked when i found out he was actually 45 😅 he was so serious here (not bad, but he felt like a totally diff character).

Anyway, i liked the supporting characters! They were fun. Introduction of other characters were kinda sloppy and out of the blue though, like some random FBI agent? And a guy named… Tye? The random bad guy etc, and the 3rd act conflict was out of the blue :/ like boom, new random character was added without much relation to the couple.

it would’ve been more understandable if that bad guy was set free by that mayors or mayors brother, but nope hahaha

There were some potholes as well

like how the FMC saw some guy stalking outside their home, and realizing he didnt have a flashlight unlike the other guards… and didnt mention that suspicious guy at all?

Too much smexy scenes though so i skimmed those. Overall not really as dark as othe rbooks i see online since it focuses on the relationship. 

Cringey dialogue was bearable 😂
