I absolutely loved this book. 1000% worth the hype. There were a few moments that really pushed past my personal comfort zone and a good number of typos in the book so I’m not going to give it 5 stars but I really loved it otherwise. Roxy is such a badass and I love the growth of all the guys and the way they all compliment each other. I was blown away by some of the timeless wisdom about life woven into the book as well.

The Vipers run the city. Ryder is the face of the organization, Kenzo runs the casinos, Garrett is the muscle, and Diesel is the psychotic assassin. After her dad gets into debt with the
Vipers, he gives them Roxy as payment. She is then taken and held captive by the Vipers.

Each one of the five of them is broken in some way. Ryder and Kenzo, along with Roxy's fathers were abusive assholes. Garrett hates women because of what his ex did to him. Diesel is traumatized from the death of his mother. The five of them come together to form their own, found family and help to heal each other.

Roxy is truly a badass and hold her own in every situation. She has these men wrapped around her fingers. 

I liked the idea of the multiple POV, but every chapter is written pretty much the same. If the characters name wasn't given at the start of the chapter, I wouldn't have been able to pick out whose POV it was. Considering how different these men are, especially Diesel, you would think that the POV would have reflected them more. 

This book is LONG. Like 200 pages too long. I considered DNFing this book multiple times. 

The best part of the book is when the conflict with the Triads happen. There are some funny moments with Diesel, otherwise there were so many parts that were repetitive and boring. 

Tropes: found family, enemies to lovers
Relationships: reverse harem
