I loved the unhinged ML but I didn’t like that they showed what happened in the past when we already know what happened and then the ending was so short!! Hated that the book jumped back into the past. I wanted the book to play out in the present and not the past.

It was the best in the beginning. I love the ml and the fml. I loved his crazy actions and his obsession with her

It was a really good book. Only thing I didn't like is the book went to the past for a couple of chapters in the middle of the book. That's a personal preference i don't like it writing.  It's still a 5 star read

This book has made me realize that breeding kinks are not my thing. Tyrant was delicious otherwise though.

4.5

Light on the "Mafia" , heavy on the dark romance. Definitely mind the trigger warnings. 4.5 stars because the age gap was just a bit much for me. I think if Vivienne had at least been able to legally drink, it wouldn't have bothered me so much. 
Tyrant is unhinged in the most delightful "I'll burn the would for you" way. There was a moment when I was actually concerned for Vivienne, but Tyrant did not disappoint me.

Very dark in terms of SH and past trauma. Loved the way this story started in the middle and then went back and you saw how they came to be. Was hooked from beginning to end. Side note there’s nothing hotter than a a tattooed man holding a baby while wearing grey sweatpants 🥵

I really enjoyed this. Read it one day. Tyrant is crazy and I love that. 
To me the book wasn’t super dark but there is a trigger warning at the front of the book.
