Honestly surprised by how much I enjoyed this one. It was a lot, but also quite fun. I liked all of the main characters (a few more than others) and although I saw where it was going early on the journey was well-done and rewarding.

I am going to preface this by saying, if you loved this book… I love that for you (and I’m sorry). 

This book might have been marginally better had I not listened to the audio and read the physical material instead but… only marginally. 

I won’t go on and on about what I didn’t like about it. The audiobook itself is just VILE and hands down one of the top 3 worst audiobooks I’ve ever listened to… but the story itself had a lot of issues, too. But at least it if I had read it with my eyes, I wouldn’t have had to listen to nineteen, yes nineteen, hours of some guy sounding like a bad Disney villain.

I didn’t grow to like or become attached to a single main character. I couldn’t stand Roxy… she’s not funny? But generally all of the dialogue was kind of cringeworthy. The chemistry to me wasn’t very believable and I didn’t feel like the characters really had any growth or actually showed signs of emotional depth. I just wasn’t a fan of the way any of them were written. 

But for a book that was clearly written with a loose plot simply to set up some kinky RH smut? It did its job. There is most definitely smut and no shortage of it!

I also learned that if I’m going to commit to a gigantic book with a bunch of dudes banging one girl… I think I actually prefer some sword crossing. It’s more fun. 😋

Tropes:
Enemies to Lovers
Captive/Captors

This may be the darkest book ever written.  Very gory. I don’t usually have triggers but this book triggered me. I don’t think it’s a bad book at all. But if you have any triggers at all, I would skip this one.
