Connor disheveled is a masterpiece, a perfect rendition of what it means to sell my soul to the devil. I’m drinking at the well of depravity, and it only leaves me wanting more.
The story of Lenix and Connor was an eruptive masterpiece. It was a thunderous storm wailing in the night, turning into a fiery cyclone before resulting in the sweetest of sunrises. The “Was I Ever” series plays with the reincarnation / soulmate trope, but I didn’t expect the delicious banter and the antagonism between the mcs. They had one of the best push-and-pulls I've read. They constantly clashed in explosions of anger and lust. Then the marriage-of-convenience and the cult trope are tossed in the mix and the result was an amazingly marvelous story.
The second half of the book had a completely different vibe than the first one. While the first half was explosive, the second one was quietly deadly. The searing angst that you feel for these characters. From the beginning, it was apparent that their lives weren’t easy. But throughout the story, the extension that their trials reached and the intensity of the pain that tormented them, made my heart ache for them.
I feel like both mcs hada god complex. The book plays a lot with the meanings of heaven, hell, and sin. It works out beautifully because Connor is the most sinful of delights. I loved him, his infuriating smirk, his cunning mind, and the devilish bomb he was. He wasn’t a good guy by any means. He was ruthless, immoral, and a psychopath. But every time he said the word “wife” I melted! Lenix was a complex heroine whose story left a mark on my heart. She was pure strength but also much more than this simple word. She rebuilt herself again and again. She found her ground and her power all on her own. She was a queen and hot af.
This book made me ache and then healed me. It was an amazing story and left me anxious to read the next book. I’ve got that feeling that the next couple will steal all my breaths.

Would I reread it? Of course. Connor baby, missing you already.

I'm not sure what to think about this one. Just a little better than the first part, but still somehow bland.

Lenix and Connor have stolen my heart. I’m as obsessed with them as Con is with HIS WIFE 🥺🥹🖤.
Possessiveness is not something that I always enjoy but watching him be so possessive over her was one of my favorite things about their relationship because even though possession was something Lenix hated because she associates it with what she experienced and saw in the society she was raised in, he never used it as a means to control or hurt her in the ways Sacro Nuntio did. I’m not gonna lie, I was kind of a Connor hater in book one, I thought he was kind of a bitch but this book showed such a different, softer side to him and I take back any slander I thought about him 😭🤪. He was still kind of an asshole, don’t get me wrong, but when it comes to Lenix, he was so protective and absolutely worshiped her even when they hated each other and I ate it uppppp.
And Lenix; her background was one I was super interested in. What she experienced in her childhood broke my heart but the life and personal she created after leaving Sacro Nuntio was so badass. Although she was very rough around the edges and quick to tell Connor off, she could also be very vulnerable. I really loved how Naomi showed us Lenix struggling through her guilt of what she did as well over who she’d become since she was that very naive and innocent girl who ran away and ended up in Noxport. I loved how we did get moments where Lenix confided in Connor and took solace in him and ultimately entrusted him with her life. They were really meant to find each other after being so drawn to each other since she got to Noxport, despite being resistant to it at first.
I really enjoyed the overall plot and the way the trilogy has developed, I can’t wait to read the last one! 😭 so far I think this one is my favorite but I didn’t think Sunny and Byzantine could be topped and yet here I am, absolutely feral over Lenix and Connor, so I am sure Lucy and Bastian will absolutely fuck me upppp in the best way.
I can’t not talk about the spice because…. It was 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻 delicious. So spicy and sensual and emotional and just amazing!!!!! Naomi is a top tier spice writer, and I will read absolutely anything they write at this point!!!
****please read trigger warnings at the beginning of the book before reading, this definitely has some dark elements that could be triggering****

Absolutely LOVED this one!
Lenix might be my favorite character out of the group! Her story consumed me. It was a tough read but still soooo enjoyable. Naomi Loud is a new to me author and I’m quickly falling in love with her writing. She really knows how to keep a reader’s attention. She had me on the edge of my seat and I did not want to put this book down. It was thrilling and gut wrenching. Lenix and “Connie Baby” will forever be imprinted in my brain. Go read this series (can be a standalone but would make more sense reading the books in order!)
