Here we go again. This is the third book and I still feel the same way, but I sure am about to go read book 4. I think I have some kind of book Stockholm syndrome with this series. I really don’t like it. But I like it just enough that I want to see how it ends, I guess?
Still mildly like the characters and the plot. Still very annoyed with the juvenile writing and total improbability of the majority of what’s happening. Example: Liam is 20 shades of messed up. MULTIPLE broken ribs, broken fingers and other stuff, burns all over, etc. etc. He’s so bad off that he’s apparently sleeping for 16 hours a day. And yet, he is medically cleared in a week to workout?! One week? For multiple broken ribs? Is that accurate? I feel like not. Also, OMG with the porniness. I am not exaggerating when I say that you can’t go three paragraphs without her doing someone. I am doing so much skimming. It’s insane. I’m all for spice, but good freaking grief. Have a conversation. Play a board game. Read a book. Take a walk. There ARE other things to do in the world! I digress.
Here’s hoping book 4 is the miracle winner I’ve been waiting for! And if not…I’ll still read it because I am apparently incapable of quitting this series.

While I am enjoying this series, it drags. The first book was good and a lot happened, but book 2 was mostly a road trip, book 3 was all about Liam’s recovery and ending on yet another cliff hanger. It’s an easy read and I am liking it but not sure if it needs to be 5 books.
With all that said I will read the whole series.

YouTube Review now up!! https://youtu.be/YijfLQXyiEg
If I had to sum this series up in 3 words? Absolutely fiercely wonderful! I’ve read all 5, some of them I’ve read multiple times, some I have, errr… read multiple passages multiple times - well it’s damned good smut and heartbreak and love and stuff. The violence is a little hard in places and there are serious triggers throughout this book, including rape and kidnap and torture and a whole lot more so please be careful going into this series.
BUT - I adore this series - Liam and Mikey Ryan the twins… Connor the middle brother and the big brother, the father figure is Shane - then we have Jessie Ryan… (called angel by Connor - sigh). It’s a reverse harem, it’s smutty and it is Irish Mafia in new york, so if any of that turns you off, don’t start the series. I enjoyed the intrigue through it, I enjoyed the working of the relationships around all four of the brothers with Jessie, I liked her resolve, I liked her grit and determination. I fell in love with all the brothers, I liked all of them, which is more than can be said for many a book boyfriend.
The writing is top notch, the smut and sex scenes in it are top notch, and sometimes very very damned spicy as hell! But sometimes a girl needs a little spice right?

Bunch of action in this one. Probably my favorite out of the series. Cliffhanger again but the next book is out (I love reading finished series for this reason)
