Did not finish book. Stopped at 31%.
I really loved book 1 (Enzo/Tex) and 3 (Bennito/Harlow) and honestly just read those two and skip this one 100%! The plots arent really connected and you wont be lost or nothing. I actually read book 3 first and then 1. I just.... there's so much wrong with this.
why tf is Gin calling Ash a dog and treating him like a pet after Ash has clearly gone thro a shit ton of abuse? And why manipulate Ash with a sexual agreement to earn freedom Gin could have just given him? Gin's treatment of Ash was basically how anyone else who bought him could have treated him. And then Gin's non stop constant adjustments to their sexual agreement that poor Ash takes sp seriously -- because HIS FUCKING FREEDOM/ LIFE is on the line - is just so fucking cringe to read through and makes me really dislike Gin when i didnt initally want to - he seemed like an ok, caring guy that was just a bit unhinged (in a good way, befitting his mafia character) in the other two books and attentive  when his brothers needed him! I thought he'd be a big softy under all that trauma but nope he's the biggest asshole out of all of them!
    
I cant see how Gin and Ash's "feelings" for each other could ever grow to be genuine when their beginning is THIS BAD... and I've  read a lot of "bad" relationship beginnings! But this? To paraphase David from Schitts Creek, i have never seen a male lead (Gin) do and say so many wrong things one after the other ..consecutively.. in a row. Like why any of it?
