Super sexy slow burn dark romance. Less smut than I expected, but the sexual tension and build up was perfection. It wasn’t very dark to me: some gang references, a little violence, and mentions of a murder and stalker. But I can see how things will get both spicier and darker as the story line continues. My biggest issue was the mega cliffhanger and how almost nothing came to a solid conclusion in this book & thus forces the reader to book 2 for any satisfactory ending on current plot threads. I loved the main characters and each dynamic that the 3 main guys bring to the table. MK is sassy and fun - though I suspect she has poor taste in friends lol. A fun indulgent romance! I plan on reading book 2

I had seen this book around before it blew up on Booktok, but I was never really interesred in reading it. Then seeing everyone rave about it, I was more curious, but it still did not seem like something I would enjoy. Boy, was I wrong? I could literally not put this down, and I already want to read the second.

I'm giving this 4 stars simply because it was so addicted. Reverse harem is so not my thing, but I didn't mind what was happening in this book because I was so intrigued by the plot. The tension between Madison Kate and Archer was everything! I can't wait to find out what's next!
