Let me just preface this review that if you are not into polyamourous group love, monsters, BDSM and/or a FMC coming (ahem) into her own... then this definitely isn't your grandma's tea party.
This story is in the same universe as Tentacles and Teeth (if you haven't read Fenn, Katarina, & Sid's story... stop go download that one and come back.) This is a standalone but if you read T&T you will be all the better at understanding the 'verse.
The story focuses Tereza and her journey into coming into her own and escaping her abusive relationships with her ex and also her familial relationship with her mother. This is also a story about coming to terms with letting go of your religious ties when they are strangling you.
Reza (or Mouse) starts or tries to start her life over with the help of her cousin Katarina and the crew at the Broken Crown.
The Bwbachod group that takes her under their wings not only give her support but also help her find herself... also give her a good dicking(s) and several introductions to new forms of sex that Reza had never even dreamed about.
I won't spoil the story but Rowan Merrick spins a really enjoyable, heart wrenching bit also heart warming story of a woman's self discovery and finding of love in its many forms.
In summation, yes, Kynan 5ever.
Another delicious story from Rowan Merrick... I can't wait for the next in this series.

THANK YOU ROWAN. I got Bound and Beguiled as an arc in exchange for an honest review.
And WOW I loved this! It was so sexy and fun and honestly… I really loved the revenge aspects in it. So many people are afraid to broach the topic of abusive mothers. So many people are afraid to talk about rage and bad guys reaping the kind of consequences they deserve for their actions. I loved how Tereza’s love interests were so loving, supportive, and willing to pay attention/get consent/etc. I loved Tentacles and Teeth, I loved this book, and I’m SO excited for whatever is next.
