This book made me feel so is many things. I finished it last night and now I don’t know how to move on.
Welcome to Havok Hills.
Riot and Zeke are amazing together. Both afraid to admit they love the other for their own reasons. Riot needs more, enter Cole. Sweet sunshiny Cole. They think he will be the glue needed to bridge the gap for Riot and Zeke, he ends up being more than they ever imagined for both of them. These 3 boys are so precious. And while I adored Riot and Zekes relationship, Zeke and Cole gave me life. The relationship they developed was one of trauma but also so so much love.
The spice is so so very nice. We get some delicious mmm scenes but also everyone gets their time to shine together. Riley knows how to write pure smut and emotional connections.
This book is going to stay with me for a long time. Definitely a top contender for the year.

3 Men. 1 tattoo artist/ hacker, 1 artist/ bartender and 1 muscle for the brotherhood that is sometime of mafia.
The first Zeke is emotionally unavailable and plagued by his past.
The third Riot is a big softie that has a trauma filled childhood filed with grief and fear.
At first, you see Riot and Zeke have something with each other, Riot loves Zeke and Zeke loves him too but is too closed off to ever admit it for fear of loosing Riot at the end; so you kinda see Riot struggle with what he thinks is unrequited love and coming to times with how he may have to take what he gets because he loves Zeke too much to leave him.
_________________
Insert our second, Cole. Their light because he isn’t plagued the death on his hands, the nightmares that keep people awake. He’s just pure and both Zeke and Riot has thier eyes on him.
The story starts of with both Zeke and Cole sharing Riot before you see their relationship dynamic progress and bloom into something so fucking strong they go through IT to get their happy ending.
Now keep in my mind that the first two books in the series are MF and they are a lot of things with the plot that feels inconclusive and underdeveloped then buckle in for the ride.

I love this series by H.C Riley so when I saw that this book would be a MMM I wanted to read it!
This story has a lot going on in it but it will keep you on the edge of your seat. As always read the TW with these books.
I fell in love with Riot in Wayward souls. This man is the best and if you are in his inner circle he will do anything and everything for you. Riot is funny, sweet and has a slight innocence to him yet he is also down right murderous for those he truly loves and cares about.
Zeke was introduced in Wayward souls as well. He was always a mystery to me but I loved his relationship with Riot. Zekes backstory will break your heart and opens you up to why Zeke is the way he is. The way he hides his emotions from those he cares about is understandable and at the same time you just want to give him a big hug.
Cole is a fun mix to Riot and Zeke. Is not into what Zeke or Riot do, he is however, aware of what they are a part of. Cole is an artist and he is drawn to both Riot and Zeke in different ways. Though Riot and Cole have the stronger bond/pull at the beginning in the end it is Zeke and Cole who share a different bond with each other for what they have been through.
All 3 men are very different but all bring something unique to their relationship together. I would have loved to see a bit more recovery and growth with them after what Zeke and Cole went through (especially for Riot) but I still really enjoyed the story.
I can't wait to read the next book in this series and I would like to thank H.C Riley for the arc of this book.

This was my first MM dark romance… and a WHY Chose MM romance too.
The story line was fast paced, kept you on your toes, and HC Riley writing is amazing…
I liked it just wasn’t a top book for me this year… but I will be someone’s.

I'm so glad I got to read this book! After reading the first two books in the series, I immediately went to H.C. Riley sent to ask about Riot and Zeke's story. When I saw that it was going to be MMM, I almost lost my head.
The chemistry between Zeke and Riot is huge from the beginning and they have some kind of relationship, but Riot wants more. But Zeke is broken and doesn't know how to give himself to Riot.
Riot is also attracted to Cole and after some flirting back and forth something happens between them, no cheating!
The three of them start a relationship. And the way they care for each other and are there for each other is everything! It's so beautiful to see their relationship blossom.
Don't be fooled by all the lovely things I have to say about these men! This is a dark romance and touches difficult themes. Read your trigger warnings! While reading some parts of this book I couldn't hold my tears. My feelings were all over the place while reading: smiling, smirking, gasping, crying, screaming, dripping... The men are also so possessive and protective!
It is so beautifully written. The other two books were also good, but this is a level higher. The character growth was so well described, in addition to the spice, there is also so much plot, intrigue, lies, ... in it. Even the difficult scenes were treated with so much respect...
One word: masterpiece!

I am absolutely in love with these three. They compliment each other so well, like we knew Riot and Zeke weke dope af together but Cole was the perfect missing piece. He's a little piece of light and innocence that both Riot and Zeke need. and the way they love is so deep and raw and they are each so vulnerable. HC really knows how to write her men and she did not miss a single beat with these three beautiful angels. There's so much trauma to unpack with this story, they're each battling with their past and the everything they've been thru and how it brought them all to Havok Hills. but while they each have their own traumas they are working thru, they are so open with each other and guide each other thru all the hurt. I just can't get enough of them, and that spice? that one scene with all three? omg get a fan ready cause it is HOT!!

These boys.....I am in love with these 3. The way their relations grew hits you in the feels. The plot had me at the edge of my seat! The angst and the spice did some things(if you know what I mean)! Definitely one of my fav reads this year.

I loved this book. The characters were so beautifully broken, and seeing them get to their happily ever after was incredible. THE PLOT TWIST THOUGH!!!! Blew me away!! I literally had to put my kindle down for a minute to cope! I loved it though! Such a great series! Can’t wait for Book 4!
