I love how Madison kate doesn't let the guys push her around. She stands up for herself and pushes back. The pranks are awesome!!! She is a lot smarter and stronger than people give her credit for.

This is what I imagine reading an erotic telenovela in book form to be like. Not great. Sometimes cheesy. But HIGHLY entertaining and un-put-down-able. I’m a sucker for these books. And if each book ends are anything like the cliffhanger of the first book, I can already tell you I’m in it for the long haul. So fun. So sexy. So over the top. It’s wonderful. Oh! Dark and gritty as well, my fav.

Trashy, Wattpadcore, ridiculous, plot holey, wild, but SO SO easy and annoyingly addictive to read. This could be a testament to the writing and often cringe dialogue but I have never read a book so fast in my life and I don’t know how nor why.

University setting books are usually not for me, this gave Riverdale when including the gangs and MMA fighter MMCS. I have about 1000 criticisms, but hopefully my singular descriptions leave enough implications about how I felt. What made me uncomfortable was the whole barely legal vibe, her being 18, 17 when they met - which isn’t explained at the beginning for whatever reason - was just…a no from me. Hate that, if it wasn’t for that, I would’ve have liked it.

What I will say is the FMC is annoying and a little naive, but when can you expect from a girl who had her life upturned?
The MMC’s are your textbook possessive, bad boy archetypes, so they can be infuriating at times…matter of fact, all of them are infuriating. When I tell you this book reminds me of my teen wattpad days, I mean it, it is so reminiscent of the stories on there. Hope Dallas dies in the next book, with his predatory, groomer self. I hate his and Mk’s history - I was perplexed when Kody was obviously bother by this but didn’t beat on him like they did with Bark in the beginning. Bree is also annoying, I don’t get good vibes from her at all.

Not continuing as it isn’t my vibe…

3.5 ⭐️. Initially went into the book wanting spicy as I knew it was a reverse haram. However, this was very much a feed book for the storyline so the plot develops - nevertheless, it was still a good book. I’m very much hoping the next one will be everything kickstarts and the spiceness happens
