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.

Tristian Mercer.
Dimitri Rath.
3 Lords in need of a lady.
Story Austin.
Needs help from the Lords for protection or else she wouldn't have come home to these guys who have mistreated her. She's being stalked by a guy named Ted. Ted is getting more and more violent and Story is afraid of because she doesn't know who Ted is or what he's capable of. Desperation and fear are the only things forcing her to run back home to the 3 people she hates more than anything in the world.
The Lords agree because when they see her for the first time in 4 years, they realize that they can't let her get away again. They're relationship is everything toxic and painful. So much history and humiliation stands between the guys and Story. Will things change? Will Story and the guys get a second chance or are they destined to continue hurting Story.
Lords of Pain is a dark/bully romance heavy of the bully and heavy on the smut. I love a good dark romance and Lords of Pain doesn't disappoint. I wasn't sure if I would like the guys at first but they really grew on me. They're all so different but that's what makes them fit together. I was hooked from beginning to end, finishing this book in a day. I couldn't put it down. The characters pull you in and you can't help but become obsessed. Stalkers, violence, smut, hot men, and a fiesty woman who won't take no s**t... what more could you want?!!! This has definitely become one of my top why choose, dark, bully romance. I can't recommend this series enough.
