So this book is all 3 books of the Bloodline Vampires series. I was glad about that.
There are 3 troupes that I hate in romance novels. 1. Barely legal MCs. Especially if there is a large age gap.
- Mina, the FMC, was 25 years old. Young compared to the 100s years old vampires, but she wasn't barely legal.
2. Being a virgin
- Mina was a virgin. BUT, her father kept her held captive and locked up, so it was not like she had any opportunities to date. So this gets a pass.
3. Pregnancy
- The whole purpose of Mina getting pregnant was so that she could proclaim herself the rightful heir to her horrible father's dynasty. BUT, at the end of the book, that kind of didn't matter because all she had to do was eliminate her father and any challengers (her half siblings). And she provided herself beyond capable of doing that.
She also wanted to provide one of the MMCs an heir because he was the last vampire of his bloodline. So, I guess this gets a pass. Barely.
The spicy was SPICY (🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶). There was some "action" almost every few pages.
BUT...there was 1 scene that I just could not visualize because it doesn't seem anatomically possible. The human body doesn't bend or stretch like that. This scene had me stomped for about 20 minutes. I just kept re-reading it, and it just wasn't making sense.
***SPOILER***
Mina, Malachi, Rylan, and Wolf were all being intimate. Mina was on her back. Rylan was in her vagina. Malachi was entering Rylan anally. And Wolf was entering Mina anally. And then, Wolf kissed Mina's neck. HOW? From his angle and position, with 2 full-size men in front of him, how was he able to kiss her neck? It just doesn't make sense to me.
But all in all, this book was very enjoyable. I enjoyed the plot, the spice was spicing, and the character development was there and believable.

This book is 90% smut and if you're into that you'll probably love it, like it starts on page 2. For me, I need a bit more other things going on besides literally constant sex for it to not become monotonous. But now I know that! I do think the poly relationship is done fairly well (maybe a tad too much jealousy at the beginning, but they seemed to grow out of it).

I didn't hate it, didn't absolutely love it, but it was semi likeable, there were good moments and kinda boring and repetitive moments too.

I wasn’t sure about this one at first but pages 50-70 is about where I started getting more into it. I’m not usually into immediate smutty behavior/comments but given the nature of the characters I suppose it makes sense. However, as time went on the amount of smut in this book started to get extremely annoying. There quite literally was some form of sex scene like every 10 pages and it was so unnecessary. I usually DNF books like that but I enjoyed the plot. It was interesting and included some suspense.
Personally, I think this could’ve been turned into something crazy cool. If there had been some more depth, world / character building, a way more detailed ending, a little more suspense during action moments etc.

Firstly I'll say that this does read like a bind up of a series; which it is, but worth noting as it had a very 'previously on...' vibe that info dumped the main points of the books before, which was a bit jarring when reading it as one book. Apart from that I felt this book was a fun time. Lots of spice, some plot and relationship development but imo it was mostly just a wild smutty ride. Which was pretty great if that's what your in the mood for. It definitely had me curious about some side characters who it seems have their own books, so colour me intrigued.
