Brooklyn has my heart 🕷 She is such a great, complex, funny character. Her inner dialogue throughout the book had me cracking up. As with most of the books by there’s authors, it’s a bit long but it’s worth it. Some points were slow but the ending is worth it. 

This is book 1 in dark, ménage romance duet. It’s set in the United States of Anarchy world by the authors. 

Lots of seggsy tension between Brooklyn and the two MMCs. Niall is an Irish mafia man and Mateo is a cartel member. Both are dangerous and dark but neither fear Brooklyn’s particular brand of wild. These serial unalivers will have your hearts by the end. 

3/5 🌶
