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.

The book was great.
A perfect example of men that we love in book but not in real life !

aannabakss's review against another edition

DNF @ 40% (some mild spoilers ahead)

The four love interest’s (Ryder, Kenzo, Garret and Diesel) suck. I would say that somewhere along the way their brains stopped developing so that’s why whenever I read their POV’s they sound like 14-15 year olds (could even argue for 13). Only this can explain why they do too much throughout the book. Am I supposed to feel sorry for an incel or a rapist or a pyromaniac. 

As for Roxy… girl stand up. It’s sad to say that I liked her character up until the point they kidnapped her. I truly wished that the four men she beat up in the beginning were the actual vipers but of course that can’t happen because as always the men are protected by plot armour. I’m tired of authors making the main character super badass and unbeatable until they come across their love interest and suddenly they’re the weakest person in the world and can’t even land a punch. It’s okay to allow the women to beat a man up. 

I’m still trying to find the redeeming qualities in the men that she says makes her love them. All the male interest’s do is scream at her, degrade her, keep her prisoner and play with her but yet I’m supposed to agree that the men truly love her. Trying to find the romance in this book is harder than trying to find where’s Wally. It’s so obvious that she’s suffering from Stockholm syndrome because how else do you fall in love with psychopaths and sociopaths who consistently treat you as a toy for their pleasure. Also are we supposed to believe that Roxy has all the power in this book but in actuality how is she supposed to fight four steroid taking, over noxious and controlling men. Let’s not even start on the level of violence the men commit that can rival actual serial killers. 

The sold to 1D by my father story’s on wattpad hit better than this.
