I absolutely loved the beginning, though I thought things went a bit off the rails at times. A really a fun, engaging read.

SO, SO, SO MOTHERFUCKING GOOD MAN.
I regret not finishing it months ago. I hate myself and how easy I get distracted with other things.
This book had me giggling and kicking my feet. Like AAAA Zeus is perfect. I want to marry him. He's such a good person, even if he says he's a monster. He's such a great husband, dad and brother. I loved how intensely he loves everyone, I WANT SOMEONE TO LOVE ME LIKE THAT TOO.
My girl Lou. She's a badass and I love her. I think she's my favorite female MC. I love her and love her personality, how lovely she is. She deserves the best in this world.
I'm gonna miss Mute so much, I'm still crying, man. I literally read that part when I was on the subway and I was holding back my tears. I wanted to combust.
This story was amazing, I learned so much about the bikers culture. I didn't even know there was such a thing, but I think that's because I'm not from the USA.
Just amazing.

started this back in July and had to soft dnf cause i just wasn’t in the right headspace but i am so glad i came to it because i really missed mute and getting to know more about him so imagine my surprise when the one person in the book that i actually like... DIES. yeah i’m gutted bc i would have loved to have read about mute and his potential significant other especially as someone on the spectrum like giana darling could have done something good with that.

I have been curious about this book since finishing the first book. I read them back to back since I'll be posting my TikTok/Instagram reviews back to back, but there was actually an almost 2-month gap between these two reads. We kind of go into this one already knowing the main couple, and I'm fine with an age gap. But things get a little complicated for me when the older character is like a parent figure throughout the younger character's whole life. Granted, Zeus is a complicated man in prison for much of this. And he isn't a parent figure but a pen pal with Lou. Then, the second she takes things a little too far, he cuts contact with her. He also brings up a lot that she's the same age as his kids, there shouldn't be any relationship with her, and then when she's a teen, he talks about how he shouldn't feel this way towards her or even think about crossing that line. But Lou is obsessed with this man and knows that this is her soulmate from the second he saves her. There were moments I loved in this thing, and I was obsessed, but the book gets a bit steam-heavy, and I wish we had more of the MC. I am curious about later books in this series. Still, I'm not rushing to pick up book 3 because it's another age gap, and I need more of the MC. I know from the epilogue of this book that Zeus refuses to let Harleigh in the MC. She ends up with the cop, so I know I'll eventually pick it up, but I need a break from it now. I'm curious about other Darling books, so what was your favorite book that Giana Darling read?

Has good characters with great potential to love - there were just issues for me. I don't think my hang ups should be your hang ups.
I did struggle with the relationship but only because I wanted more believable depth. But others loved it. - to each their own.
