4.5 ⭐️s This book was DARK. I had been craving a dark romance, like as dark as possible and this satisfied it quite a bit.

This book kept me on my toes the whole time. Never knew if she was really going to leave or if she just enjoyed the chase so she kept running for that.

Short but the story didn’t feel short. It felt almost complete, HOWEVER, the reason it is not a full 5 stars is because I feel like I didn’t get to find out the trauma of what the guys went through. I can insinuate that they were abused but really want to know how they know each other. Are they step brothers orrr..? IDK they were both abused and Jayden’s step dad was a pedo and his mom was an addict.

Wish I got their full story. Also Cole wasn’t cool with Jayden taking her. He compared it to how they were forced once upon a time. But then all of a sudden he’s cool with it? What changed?

Alina May is a genius! This is the second book of hers that I’ve read and she’s seriously blown me away! The trio in this book were complex, they each had their own sides and you watched them grow as the book went on. Cole may be my favorite of the group, he was the comic relief. Jayden was the serious dark one and I loved him too. Jo was so strong, she dealt with so much and came out the end a champion.

Didn’t overly enjoy this, read reviews before o started and I found this very boring and repetitive compared to the other books that I had read

Perfect!!!! I can’t get over how much I needed a short novella with all the spice, darkness, and a secret back story!!!!!

I don’t know who I liked more, Cole or Jay!!!!!! The way all 3 went back and forth between feelings and no feelings, and then all the little twists and turns in only 217 pages!!!! A+!!!

I really would love a full story on the 3 of them and their pasta tho!!!!

The Male leads should be in prison basically

Love the kinks and the stalking but this felt way too dark for me sometimes. Hated the humiliation and the degradation. The relationship buildup was almost nonexistent except for sex and punishment. 
The backstory was also almost nonexistent and the plot wasn’t really there either. This book was almost just about sex, punishment, humiliation and kinks.
