This was really good, but dark. This is a bully romance and it basically is until the end. You do get to see a little bit of different sides of the guys, but it’s also all manipulation. There’s a background plot going on that’s interesting and I want to see where it leads. The other lot of this is actually ridiculous, but it was entertaining and makes for the “romantic” relationships to move along. This ends on a cliffhanger so I’m excited to see where this goes. I do like all the guys, but Killian is my least favorite, but the very end he redeemed himself a little, but the fallout for them all is going to be fun to read. This is DARK so if you don’t like dark romances skip this one and look at trigger warnings.
