So I started this book like a dare challenge with a friend.... Honestly.... I felt a bit of mixed feelings....
No plot, almost just smut... On the beggining I wanted to find out why everybody was crazy about diesel, still figuring out! Ryder and Kenzo, ok! Bring it on, but diesel is cringy messed up!

So I left this book with 179 pages left of it because I simply couldn't torture myself anymore (unlike the characters in this book)
Lemme just say I'm open for saucy sex scenes and kinks and I was even kind of intrigued for the reverse harem in this book, I did grow up on Wattpad so enjoyed my fair share of being sold to one direction and bts fanfictions, and maybe its coz I'm not 14 anymore and no longer need smut galore to love a book but this was a monstrosity through and through. ill have to break this review down as there's so much to talk about and scream into the void.
First off we have ROXY, our type-A not-like-other-girls girl, who is so gorgeous and sexy but all-natural, of course (make sure you know that and to put down girls that are quote on quote plastic) but is also a badass coz she owns a dive bar and is independent and don't need no man! but constantly lets these boys get away with treating her like shit and not letting her have a life!
-she has Stockholm syndrome
-acknowledges that's probably the situation shes in
-denies that being the case for the rest of the book, to make the guys seem better ~wonderful~
-has daddy issues
-is also so rude to people for like no reason
-needs therapy
-is she on the pill, who knows?
Then we have RYDER, who is an absolute dickhead who justifies himself being a dickhead all for the sake of his family
-doesn't show emotion
-is scared of becoming his father when shocker I'm pretty sure he's much worse already
-wears a suit and thinks its a personality trait
-needs therapy
Next, we have KENZO who for all the men in this book is the best out of the lot which isn't saying much since there is a sex scene very early on which I guess is dub-con but still don't sit right with me as Roxy fought the whole time but her inner monologue made sure we knew she did want it.
-is the 'cute' one
-he gambles
-not much else to say about him other than that he also needs therapy
Leading us to GARRETT our very own incel, who hates women and instead of getting help decides to be a misogynist, great! for some reason, this attracts Roxy even though he constantly states he hates women and wants to kill her aw yes the sex appeal Is rolling of the pages.
-likes to kill and beat people up to feel something (red flag)
-hates women coz one woman wronged him but doesn't hate men even though they hurt him all the time?
-needs therapy
Finally, we have DIESEL if the name doesn't tell you enough I will, he is the absolute psychopath of the group and needs to be in prison, possibly even death row. Roxy finds this so hot but the only thing I could think was ew, this is rank, pass me a bucket.
-gets turned on when torturing and killing people (is he jeffery dahmer
-constantly states if he has sex with Roxy he will kill her and she loves it (is she suicidal)
-is the one in the group that admits he is a literal rapist (I'm sure the others are too since they threaten Roxy with rape several times)
-grabs and rubs his dick multiple times in public (someone gouge my eyes out)
-is just fucking gross
-needs therapy (and jail)
lastly, some stand out things that happened that left me confused and disgusted.
-of course, all the women in this book other than Roxy are awful sluts who are plastic and worthless #feminsm
-Kenzo basically rapes Roxy and then later diesel says 'she doesn't get to make Kenzo feel like he took her without consent it would kill him' i hope it does, coz he did and we love the victim blaming ?
-diesel states he only really has women 'when they are passed out or when they run away and he has to pay them" someone call 999 coz this man is a sex offender
-after this justifies killing people because they are rapists, murderers etc, babe that's you!
-they realise Roxy will never love them properly so they let her go, she leaves for five minutes but the Stockholm syndrome has a grip on her so she goes back, then they punish her for leaving even though it was there idea. (like do you guys have short term memory loss)
-she's mad at her dad for selling her but not mad at the men that bought her, urm excuse me please kill them please they deserve it.
-shes only Been there for like a WEEK, A WEEK and they are all madly in love like PLEASE SOMEONE SAVE ME FROM THIS HELL.
overall I did enjoy some of the smut scenes but they get repetitive after a while and after like page 300 hundred, the writing goes seriously downhill and just gets so cringe, just not for me.
if I heard Roxy calling her 'arousal' cream or how her pussy clenched when any of the boys just existed one more time I would have burned myself alive.
so yeah this book was something whether it was good that's for you to decide (it's not)
