I really enjoyed this book. I do have some mixed feelings about Killian, but for the most part I loved his character. I love how protective and possessive he is with Glyndon. I love that because he loves Glyndon he was willing to do things with her in mind. The chapters in his pov were fun to read. I've never read a character quite like his.

Glyndon is just a sweetheart. I love how much she cares about everyone. And I hated that Devlin used her compassion and empathy for others against her. I'm so happy he got what was coming for him in the end.

I will say I think my favorite character so far in this series just from this book alone was Brandon. I can't wait to get to his book. But I'm also excited for all the other characters books as well. 

I absolutely recommend this. And I'm excited to get into Creighton and Annika's book next. I really loved their interactions in this book, so I feel like theirs is gonna be a really fun one.

renfyre's review against another edition

I can enjoy some pretty dark stuff that makes you have to suspend your feminism to enjoy it.  And the author's forward doesn't obscure anything about what's in the book. She says plainly this is a morally black MMC and the TWs include non con. So i cant complain that i was curious anyways and that's what i found. Dead dove - don't eat, and all that. 

But badly written dark stuff? The grammar is atrocious so that on every page there is some awkward line that doesn't technically mean what she clearly means to say. Where are her editors? The info dumping and absurd way people talk/ text to each other is beyond what i can stomach. Such overdramatic wattpad prose. These characters are young college students. So 18,19,20 years old. And I'm sorry but I know what 19 year Olds look like. I can't take any of this seriously. It's all so over the top with the secret societies and rival universities. But also it's USA vs. UK! And the Russian mob! And and and. 

And while yes, Dead dove - don't eat. I am loath to see that dark romance, at least for fans of this series and its like, means romanticizing and sexualizing rape. Like on the page, no ambiguity about it, violent rape. With force and crying and threats of death if the FMC doesn't comply. And to use the whole "of well her body reacted to it so she secretly wants it" line of argument is just sick and frankly dangerous. Call me a prude, but I'm not turned on by

women shaking and crying while they're face fucked against their will on pain of being either anally raped or being thrown off a cliff or both. 

Taking all of this author's books off my TBR and avoiding all romance recs from anyone who recommends them in the future.

3 out of 5 ☆’s.

“I’ll make sure you always choose me as much as I choose you.”

I know that RK’s MMCs are always a bit out there (to say the least) but I was just not a fan of Killian’s character. I feel bad for Glyndon for everything that she had to deal with because of him & because she has to put up with him for the rest of their lives. :(

I also wasn’t a fan of the way that Asher was portrayed in this book. I understand that past characters cannot all be perfect parents, but I also don’t think that they should be the main obstacle either?

It’s okay for dark romance but as far as stabby stabby goes there wasn’t enough gore in my personal opinion 😅. Anywho the plot was good. Too many characters to keep up with.
