What was this. We went from one subject to another, so many unfinished businesses, and very little in-depth plot building.

A little questionable 🤨 but other than that the plot was good 😊 definitely were some unexpected events. Kinda wish there was an epilogue though. I’d love to see them ten years from now as a happy lil family after all they’ve been through.

"𝓘 𝓼𝓶𝓲𝓵𝓮. 𝓘𝓽'𝓼 𝓽𝓲𝓶𝓮 𝓽𝓸 𝓹𝓵𝓪𝔂, 𝓵𝓲𝓽𝓽𝓵𝓮 𝓴𝓲𝓽𝓽𝓮𝓷"  - 𝕁𝕒𝕪𝕕𝕖𝕟 

⚠️TRIGGER WARNINGS MUST BE READ ⚠️

Holy shit! 

Everything little thing about this book I loved. 

Mary “Jo” has been kidnapped from her normal life and held captive in the mountains by two INSANELY hot men. One of them, Jayden, is hell bent on revenge, while the other - Cole -  is just around to enjoy the ride. What Jayden didn’t plan is that he would take a liking to Mary Jo and take her for himself and Cole. 

Mary Jo is hotheaded, temperamental, spirited like a phoenix. Though rules have been set in place by her captors, she doesn’t listen to them and is hellbent on escaping them. 

However, Mary Jo finds out, later on in the book, that the more she fights for her pleasure - only her captors can give her - the more she finds herself falling in love and wanting them. She knows it is fucked up but she can’t help but give in to what they are giving her. 

They are like a drug to her. 

Sex with her boyfriend, Kyle, never felt as good as what Cole and Jayden are giving her. 

On top of the amazing storyline, I haven’t covered enough of the *Spicy* part of the book. 

Jayden is rough, dominant in bed, not minding bringing Mary Jo pain as well as pleasure. He has a fascination with Shibari ropes that he uses on his beloved Kitten. 

Cole is the sweeter one out of the two. However, looks can be deceiving. He likes to chase, loves the game cat and mouse, where he chases Mary Jo around the house or in the woods. He loves playing with his knives too, blood turning him on, however he doesn’t intentionally want to bring any harm to his lemon drop.

Ahhhh! Did I even mention the nicknames? Who wouldn’t want two insanely hot and unhinged men calling you adorable and crotch-wetting nicknames? 

Jayden = Little Kitten, Kitten 

Cole = Little One, Lemon Drop

This book is absolutely amazing, a read I couldn’t put down, that had me at the edge of my seats. I loved how at the end, both of the male characters have come to terms with realising that they need Mary Jo in their lives to function and to live.
