⭐️ out of ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book had so much potential and was actually comedic but the porn aspects ruined it. Because the book dealt with so many triggering and traumatic topics the sexual aspects between characters should have been done more tastefully. Also the psychological jargon is just not accurate and it was so noticeable. Failed the show don’t tell rule and also had poor grammar. I wish this story had an editor. It had so much potential and so many pros but it was not bearable. It feels like satire but the author doesn’t know it. Great plot but the sex scenes and dirty talk were cringe and not embedded properly.

This book was a rollercoaster ride.  It's hella dark and it's not for the weak of heart.  PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.  Now, I was leary of the synopsis and that is why I didn't read it but something told me to give it a try and I'm so glad that I did. I loved this book from beginning to end and I can not WAIT to finish the entire series.

While not usually my cup of tea, the Instagram recommendations were wild for this so I gave it a shot.

Definitely read the trigger warnings and go slow if you aren't sure! 

The story feels very short, even for just shy of 300 pages. The characters aren't super developed and I found myself way more interested in the other brothers than Adam. I will definitely be reading their books too. 

Over all, the plot is straightforward, the sex is pretty great, and the writing is solid.
