O.O That was one huge mind fuck for me. And this isn't in a bad way whatsoever.
The beginning... Wow. Just crazy. And the middle sure is emotional. And the ending is where it blew me away.
I can't actually review this book, because my mind isn't fully wrapped around it.
I felt really sad for Rider. He was a good friend, all around nice guy, but with him wanting Mae and she only wanting Styx, it made it very saddening. But when the ending came, I did not see that one coming. I actually teared up, because he's a nice guys...and then he wasn't. And it broke my heart. As side characters go, he was one I really liked.

*contains predictions of future books*

I'm really looking forward to book three of the series with Flame and Mae's sister. In this we meet Flame as sort of a disturbed guy who likes pain. I don't know... I didn't quite figure him out. But we know he doesn't like being touched but when he killed a certain guy and Mae's sister hugged him,, and he didn't complain... Well I'm interested to see this story.
I'm also really lookin forward to book four: Rider's story. I do hope he ends up being a good guy again and maybe even rejoins Styx's club. I suspect he will rise to power like he's been trained to but end up taking the commune down.
And of course I'm looking forward to book two as well

Overall fantastic romantic, colorful read. Quite dark, so be mindful of mature themes. It's the book that I refused to look away from (which is why I'm still awake when I have work in the morning :p)

There's no doubt that this book is way over the top with the themes bit it's enjoyable for what it is, which is a steamy, dark New Adult romance that focuses around the lives of a MC. The characters were flawed but likeable and the writing was pretty decent despite the editing errors that I caught onto. Would I say 'It Ain't Me, Babe' is one of the best NA romances I've read? No. But despite that it's an enjoyable read and hard to put down once started.

Funny I kinda saw the plot around Rider coming since the beginning, I just felt like he needed to have a reason to be so obsessed. Cool book, I’m kinda looking forward to reading the third book - the second doesn’t look interesting enough…

Please make sure to check the trigger warnings before reading becuase there are many!!.

Tillie babe! You now have a new found fan, I think I may be obsessed!!

This book was so f*cking amazing!! that's all I can say. It's dark in the best way. She was able to make me feel for every character, made me want to cry becuase of what some the characters had gone through... I went through all the motions with this one let me tell ya!!

I read this book on a whim because I just needed some MC romance and for the most part that is what I got. I didn’t care that much for the cult aspect of this book but I enjoyed River and Mae. I loved that River used sign language and most of the club did too. That was my favorite part of the whole book.

I'm not picky on what language is usually used in romance books but my gods. The entirety of this book women are referred to as "bitches" or "Ole lady". It wouldn't be so bad If it wasn't so regularly used. The twists were okay, but it was lacking for me.
