3.5 stars This book was so ridiculous but it also gave exactly what I expected so I'm not mad at it. It was entertaining AF in a totally absurd kind of way. (Like pretty much all the twisted sisters' books let's be real, but I am a slave to them anyway)

Loved the characters. Even when I probably should have harbored some dislike for a few of them. They all had their reasons for doing what they did and you really couldn’t fault them for it. (With exception for the real villains, they can be faulted for their actions 100%)
Loved the story. Lots of history between these two families, none of it good. But these two characters grow to love each other for who they are despite everything standing in their way.
I have to admit I didn’t see that plot twist coming but I’m not mad about it. I’m excited to see how things play out in the next book.

The first book in The Boys of Sinners Bay series.

Rocco kidnaps Sloan on her wedding day and makes her his captive. He was meant to kill her, so this is his punishment.

I enjoyed this whilst reading it. It was highly entertaining and just made me laugh really
