I'll never get these 16 hours of my life back. This has gotta be one of the worst books I have ever had the displeasure of reading. The terrible accents & inflection by the narrators of the audiobook made it 100 times worse. I am so glad to have the option of 0 stars over here on storygraph because giving 1 star on Goodreads felt way too generous. The characters were not even a little bit likeable, the writing was awful, there was no flow and nothing made sense.

I kept hoping it would get better, to no avail. Would not recommend.

Damn near DNFed for the use of "va-jay-jay" and cheesy writing and dialogue. But the smut scenes were just unending and intriguing. Also couldn't help but picture Diesel as Hulk Hogan with a sparkly fanny pack.

Forever one of my favorite books. So funny, kinky, and dark, but that’s what I want! I like how Roxy never feels like a pick me girl, even though that’s often the case with reverse harems. 

Dark Romance, Reverse Harem, Stockholm Syndrome, 5 🔥
