Really didnโ€™t like the couple. I donโ€™t think I couldโ€™ve rooted for two people less. 

And I really didnโ€™t like how Brandonโ€™s story was handled. If the SA was planned from the start, the romance between him and Niko is so flawed and toxic. This doesnโ€™t read as love or of a happily ever after, instead, it appears Brandonโ€™s reliving his trauma every day with a new face. Someone violent, doesnโ€™t take no for an answer, is rough, doesnโ€™t give him spaceโ€” is that not Grace? Now if this was a tell about him picking people who force him into a traumatic head space so he can continue his self loathing, thatโ€™ll be good. If there was no SA in the first place, would be better. However this went from โ€œoh fun story about two assholes who deserve each otherโ€ to โ€œwhat the fuckโ€ฆโ€ real fast for me. Brandonโ€™s assault wasnโ€™t handled with grace. The fact Niko continued to watch it after putting it together? HUH? Actually what!

No fucking words can describe how beautiful this book was. I had never read an MM book before, so this was a first. But I was so glad that this was the book I started with! Niko and Brans relationship was rocky at first, and the mental health aspect of each of them was just heartbreaking. The push-pull game was difficult to watch, but I seriously couldnโ€™t get enough of them! The spice was beautiful, the characters, plot, and twists were enticing, and when I tell you I sobbed in those last 50 pagesโ€ฆ my GOD! It was amazing! I was thoroughly surprised how much Brans story and his character made Lanโ€™s character make so much more sense to me! But my gosh this was just such a beautiful story and I loved every second of it.

I donโ€™t even know where to start. I feel like with every Rina Kent book I read I fall more in love with her as an author. Brandon and Nikolaiโ€™s story quickly became one of my favorites. In God of Ruin, it hinted at the possibility of a romance between the two it was very subtle. I really loved this story and how it ended. Nikolai is definitely more unhinged in this book vs previous ones. Mafia/organized crime, cat and mouse, enemies to lovers are the main tropes for this book. Definitely check your triggers before reading this.
