heykatja's review against another edition
- Ageism towards women
- Internalized misogyny: "All women who dress nice are desperate and they all want my man."
- "Not like other girls" type of character
- No other prominent female characters outside of mother/sister/grandmother roles, i.e., non-threatening to her man
- "Every guy is obsessed with me" trope
- Clothes described way too often with no reason
- ML wants to be called "Mad," and others do it unironically.
- FL is a placeholder character with no personality and a very basic moral code
Graphic: Misogyny, Kidnapping, and Sexual harassment
Moderate: Torture

Rogan, Rogan, Rogan. They don't call him Mad Rogan for nothing - I'm really going to enjoy getting to know this psychopath further. And Nevada? What a fantastically headstrong female lead - I want to be her when I grow up.
Now, I must say - this cover is truly awful. I thought I'd read that this was supposed to be PNR, but it's much more in line with Urban Fantasy, fraught with sexual tension but very little spice. There are some parallels & similar tropes to the Kate Daniels series but, dare I say I think I may enjoy Nevada more?? Only time will tell. It's everything I want to kick off a new series.
