Enjoyed the book, didn’t fall into the world so it took longer to read.

“Everyone loves to play with those of us that are broken....Until they find all our sharp edges. But you and I, we rejoice at every cut. Every scratch makes us feel, proving to us that we’re alive."

OMFG, this is NOT A DRILL! So first off, if you've read the Violent Tendencies anthology, we met Nicholette and her 4 guys. Guess what??? We got a fuller version to this story!! This was definitely sooo much better the second time around. I'm not gonna lie, I am such a sucker for these strong, independent, the IDGAF type of characters. Nicolette was all of the above with a side of sass. Her boys, lawd

This series is…difficult at times. There’s a distinct lack of warning about there being DV, which is what it is. The amount of times the men hit or slap the FMC is disgusting, even if it is in sexy times.

There are times that the MMCs are so incredibly tough that the FMC is covered in welts, bruises, and bleeding.

There’s absolutely SA on page several times, DV, BDSM, non con, dub con, primal and blood play. Just be warned.

A fast paced reverse harem BDSM mafia story with a non annoying kick ass heroine and decent writing? A rare gem, I loved it.

Hard Limits is the first book in the Queen of Hearts series. There is a trigger warning at the beginning which I like for those who need it. I however like books dark, and this one did not disappoint :). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This book is told mainly from Nicolette's point of view, however we get some chapters from Sacha, Vas, Oliver and Bodhi. Nicolette is a call girl and is Oliver's roommate. They don't know what each other's job entails. Nicolette has been seeing Vas as one of her customers. So when she is called to meet some people to lure someone in that they want intel on she shows up and Sacha, Vas, Bodhi and Oliver are there. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They plan their meeting with the person they are trying to get intel on and it doesn't go as planned. As she is working with the guys someone breaks into her apartment and destroys all of her stuff. She has to tell the guys she has a stalker. So she ends up staying with them.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When something happens to Nicolette will the guys be there for her? Or will they continue to do what they originally started out as? Will their feelings continue to develop? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This book left off in a good spot, but I'm glad to know we will get more of these characters in another series.

It’s no secret that I LOVED this when it was originally in the Violent Tendencies antho. Then Suki went and doubled it up and dropped me a new series to salivate over.

This is a dark romance lovers book. You’re going to get it all. Spice. Kinks. Angst. “dark” aspects

The premise of this book was great and the chemistry between the characters was good. It had so much repetition within the same chapters that I had to keep re-reading parts because I didn’t understand.
