I just think this one had a little bit of everything I love, we had suspense, we had the drama, and there was a lot of tension since it's slow burn. Plus we have kind of a big mystery going on because we don't know how they know each other, what their connection is, and how they were ever going to get on the same page since the FMC doesn't remember any of the guys, 3 of the guys hate the third guy, and the third guy is so heavily involved in the criminal world and doesn't have any connection to the FMC other than stalking her. It's a bit of a chaotic mess but I was obsessed with this one. It does end in a cliffhanger, but the second book is out and does wrap it all up and end with an HEA. It's definitely been a year of duologies for me.

3.5⭐️
This one definitely had a fun and interesting premise. Dark Hockey Suspense is on genre I’ve loved, but throw in Mafia too and I’m a goner! Kennedy is an interesting character but we don’t know too much about her yet. In typical RH fashion she is dickmatized early on so she doesn’t always make rational decisions. The guys I’m just like huh?! I have no idea who any of them are really. I don’t feel like we really got to know anyone’s personality. Greyson I felt we got the most of a feel for, don’t get me wrong it was entertaining and kept me invested. I want all the answers.

CR Jane and May Dawson did it again. This dynamic duo has the Dark Romance sector nailed down.

Kennedy: Woke up in a hospital with no memory of who she is. The only thing that makes her feel some semblance of familiarity is the Ice Rink, home of the Devils who happen to employ Carter, Jack, and Sebastian, the darlings of the Devils.

Jack: Total Golden Retriever energy UNTIL he is pissed off.

Carter: Captain and pure alpha. This man has SECRETS.

Sebastian: Has decided that he wants Kennedy, and he is willing to burn down the world for her.

Greyson: Walking Red Flag who was once part of the triumphant trio, but SECRETS. (I LOVE this man’s crazy)

This book is

If you like your guys dark, and so covered in red flags, it’s basically a giant size blanket, this is the book for you. Kennedy had an accident that left her with amnesia. No one claimed her, she only knows her first name because of a necklace. 5 years later she meets four guys that all seem familiar to her somehow. Her memories are starting to unlock, but would it have been better to have stayed away and not known? This is book one and ends on a cliffhanger, and it’s addicting. You have been warned

Everything in the book flew by pretty quick. It was nice having an MMC that was obsessed from the start (go Greyson!), and we got to see the other MMC’s Carter, Jack and Sebastian become obsessed again as well.

This is a morally grey book and I wasn’t surprised at all about Greyson switching out Kennedy’s birth control, but come onnnnnnnn.

I can’t wait to see how the second book goes

Four psychos

Kennedy is in deep trouble here with not one but four possessive men from her past who know more about her than she does thanks to an accident. I really hate the way they all think they know best and are keeping secrets from her.
The way that she struggles thru life trying to grasp at memories just out of reach is so sad.
There are so many questions after reading this, why is she being kept in the dark and what trauma don’t want her to remember? It’s a puzzling story, hopefully it will all make sense in the next book.




WTF did I just read. I am still confused.
