3.0

A solid 3 because the writing was not great and some parts I only got thru by skimming (but they're also British which made the weirdness less weird somehow). The writing was just... honestly downright awful at points and it got a bit cringy at some parts too. Buttttttttttttt the sex was hot so it gets a few points for that. 14 year old me would've loved this book idk what that says about me but. it was enjoyable enough and pretty hot. In my mind Roxy would end up with Diesel if she ever settled down with one of them.

This book is intensely dark and not for the faint of heart. It has some of the darkest themes I have seen in a book in a long time. Please please read the content warnings and make sure this is a book for you.

But overall, this book is very well written with an interesting plot and constantly evolving characters!!

This is like a Wattpad book on steroids. It's definitely not realistic in any way and lots of it is uncomfortable to say the least. Therapy is needed.

slvt4b00ks's review

I just wanted it to end but there were like 30 more pages of sex scenes and I just couldn’t do it. This book should have only been 300 pages as it only took place within the span of a week. While the author makes a point to have Roxy explicitly say she likes all the abusive and Stockholm syndrome-y shit they do to her, I can’t get past it. It’s one thing to role play and have rough sex, it’s another thing entirely to read about it happening to someone else without them talking about hard and soft limits or safe words. Like are we the reader to assume that Roxy has absolutely no limit for pain as pleasure, or that she just coincidentally met these 4 insane assholes who coincidentally have the same exact kinks as her? I think I would have found it slightly more bearable if the author had one of the guys cross a limit for her and then there were consequences to that and they talked about it. The only person who’s line gets crossed as far as sex is concerned is garret, because he was traumatized by a woman. Roxy was beat by her father and yet these bastards are constantly slamming her up against walls and cutting her and choking her until she can’t breathe. You can’t tell me that wouldn’t have triggered a flashback. You can’t. This is just another instance where women are painted to be objects for a man’s pleasure and never the other way around. I fucking hated this book. I wish I could chuck it at K.A. knights head. For legal reasons that’s a joke but this book sucked. If you have sexual trauma DONT READ IT.
