I love this book. It’s dark and full of lots of sex and some hard parts that could be triggering but I love the characters, I love the plot, you love to hate these boys and you’re routing for Story the whole time. Can’t wait to read the next one.

This is one of those books I really should not have liked as much as I did, and yet… 

It’s definitely not for the faint of heart and if you’re not into bully romances, this is not the book for you. 

I’m really looking forward to the next book to see what happens and how the guys can possibly redeem themselves 

Definitely check trigger warnings before you start because this book dives into the dark stuff from page 1 basically

DNF

The TW says dub-con, but it’s right up against the line. To me it read as full on rape and I couldn’t read further. Otherwise I like the writing. May try one of the other series by these writers.

dark tense fast-paced

2.5

Not sure I’d bother reading again . The first half was quick and enjoyable. Not as dark as I expected. Which is a relief. 

I predict D is Ted. And I was expecting Sutton to use the secret with her RH
