Honestly I would have loved this book had it not been for the blatant sexual assault in the first %50 of the book. Reviews mentioned something that was hard to get past in the beginning of the book but nothing prepared me for that. Quite honestly I was debating DNFing about 100 pages in. If you're uncomfortable with anything resembling CNC I definitely wouldn't read this. Once you get past that, the relationship between Ginerva, Liam, Rian, and Cormac is actually very balanced and pleasant for a mob poly relationship. It never feels like one member gets more time than another and everyone has important roles both in the mob and the relationship. The plot is well written and sensible, making every choice reasonable and action sensible. This being said I wouldn't read this again or recommend it solely based on the first 150 pages.
