I think there is every major TW possible in this book. And I loved it. 

The story was great, Story was great, the guys were great. I didn't have to deal with any of this in college. I just, you know, studied and did homework. But I can live vicariously through these Lords and their Lady, without all the lifelong mental damage and PTSD.

This was really good, but dark. This is a bully romance and it basically is until the end. You do get to see a little bit of different sides of the guys, but it’s also all manipulation. There’s a background plot going on that’s interesting and I want to see where it leads. The other lot of this is actually ridiculous, but it was entertaining and makes for the “romantic” relationships to move along. This ends on a cliffhanger so I’m excited to see where this goes. I do like all the guys, but Killian is my least favorite, but the very end he redeemed himself a little, but the fallout for them all is going to be fun to read. This is DARK so if you don’t like dark romances skip this one and look at trigger warnings.
