The spice was good, but the plot holes were massive and distracting.
Spoilers:
Okay so Eden made the deal with Allistair to stay out of the city, but literally never told anyone! Then she went with them to the city where she knew she should not. She also saw tracks in the woods, but that didn’t go anywhere bc she didn’t say anything. She was too horned up to actually talk with anyone.
Also, haha, Lucky is so silly! Just joking around, throwing flares around explosives while on a mission???! They are ex-rangers! That is so ridiculously unrealistic!
And why did they have to bring all those people back. 100+ people and 12 bedrooms of a burned out house???
Also, I don’t get why people like Jayk. They agreed to share in the beginning. They can love each other without being angry possessive. Jasper makes a lot of stupid mistakes to be older and a therapist. Miscommunication/non-communication causes so many issues.
And the guys are always like “oh! Didn’t we tell you about (insert some rule from kink-world)? We didn’t? Oopsie!” Like come on!
I’m disappointed because the first book was so fun.

“Entangled” by Rebecca Quinn is an apocalypse romance that picks up immediately where book one, Ensnared, ended.
While it’s advertised as an end of the world romance, I felt that there were times in which Quinn lost the plot while writing. Part of what draws me in to this niche is seeing how characters act after SHTF. Ultimately, Eden made many decisions in this book that did not align with the premise and, in many ways, stifled the story.
Rest assured, in “Entangled” we learn what happens to Eden after shes been taken. While captive, Eden befriends a woman named Madison and when opportunity arises, Madison and Eden are able to escape. Coincidentally, shortly after this escape is when she reunites with her lovers (yay!).
After reuniting with the men, Eden’s character makes the decision to bring all of the survivors back to their home. This is the first, and arguably most selfish decision Eden makes in the entire book. It was at this point that I honestly had to put down the book and think to myself, “Is this really the woman we met in book one?” It felt so out of character for her, and the fact that none of the men stood up to her made me question where this book was going. It felt like this book became Eden’s Show and, if we’re being honest, I had trouble getting through it, whereas I was enamored with book one and couldn’t put it down.
Once back at the home, Eden struggles to navigate her newfound PTSD. Also at home is where she cuts virtually all ties with the men and resigns herself to a monogamous relationship with Beau. While I can empathize with what she went through and the trauma that she would have endured, it didn’t seem realistic or in line with her character. In book one, Eden was the puzzle piece that brought all of the men together, but in book two, she’s the person who drove them apart. I felt horrible for the men, who simply wanted the best for her, and began to loathe Eden as a FMC.
After all of this, you might be wondering why I rated the book 4 stars. Outside of Eden, I actually enjoyed the book. We were able to witness the developing relationship between Jasper and Lucky, and we got to learn more about Beau and Dom’s history. In addition to that, we saw more about Jaykob and how he overcomes his aversion to sharing Eden. So, in other words, where the woman fell flat the men stepped it up and made this book worthwhile for me. Do I want to continue the series? Of course, but I would like there to be more focus on the end of the world again and get back to that part of the story. All of the extra characters are nice, but it doesn’t feel as isolated as it once was. I want that struggle of isolation again, and I don’t see that happening unless Eden and the men go back to living for themselves as opposed to creating a community.

HOLY S--!!!!
**spoiler alert**
Eden grew so much in this book and She finally was able to come to terms with that she's cool with have having five hunky guys wanting her. Each relationship needs work just like everything else, she put so much on the line to make sure her guys and friends were safe, The audiobook is chef's kiss! I cant wait to see what her HEA will end up being.
