I think there is every major TW possible in this book. And I loved it. 

The story was great, Story was great, the guys were great. I didn't have to deal with any of this in college. I just, you know, studied and did homework. But I can live vicariously through these Lords and their Lady, without all the lifelong mental damage and PTSD.

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.
