I'm OBSESSED!!

RAYLEE LEXINGTON ADAMS is a disaster with lip gloss and zero impulse control. She’s wild, reckless, a little unhinged, and completely done pretending she’s not broken. Life hasn’t exactly been gentle, and her taste in men? Questionable at best. But there’s only one man who truly knows how to ruin her—and of course, he’s the one she can’t stay away from.

COLTON REMINGTON KNOX. Her stepbrother. Her enemy. Her obsession. The walking, talking red flag she keeps running back to like it’s a sport.

They’ve been dancing around each other for years—pushing, pulling, hurting, healing, and then doing it all over again. Colton breaks things. He ruins every guy Raylee tries to move on with, not because he’s jealous—okay, he is jealous—but because in his mind, she’s his. Always has been.

He’s possessive. Controlling. Jealous to the point of madness. And when he leaks a private video of her just to remind her who she belongs to? That’s the last straw. Raylee’s pissed. And when she’s pissed, she’s unstoppable.

Colton thinks it’s a game. Thinks he can claim her publicly, ruin her privately, and still get to keep her in the end. But Raylee’s not interested in playing by his rules anymore. She’s done letting him break her without consequences.

But the thing is… they’re addicted to the wreckage.

Every fight, every hate-fueled hookup, every time she swears she’s done and he swears he owns her—it just pulls them deeper. They don’t know how to love gently. Their version of love is all sharp edges and bruised hearts.

In the end, it’s not about who wins.

It’s about who’s still standing.

And for better or worse, it’s always them.

Would I read this again?? Yes, yes, and yes!! A million times yes!!
Would I recommend this?? Sure, if your alright with reading smut.. a lot of it..

dark step bro romance

I absolutely love Shantel’s work. Love how this introduces you to the Lords world and has you wanting more. I do love a bad ass FMC and that’s what you’ll get in this.

In the beginning, I wasn't really sure if I was going to read this, but I'm really glad that I did. Yes, the MMC Colton isn't a Lord, but it still follows the storyline that goes along with the Lords. The FMC Raylee man she is a spit fire in her own right. She isn't afraid to be who she is and say what she wants. Colt is more than happy to oblige. There is down and dirty spice that could make a nun break her vows. Along with the abuse, Raylee endures at the hands of her ex can and will rip your heart out, but redemption is there. If you love the Lords series, then you really shouldn't skip this little side story it is worth it. 

hey Shantel I fear you may hate women
