Also, this is a RH and I'm not used to there being such possessiveness between the men in an RH. It was uncomfortable actually.
I don't particularly like any of the boys in this either. Maybe Aaron? Oscar is just boring. The only redeeming quality is that surely their communication improves? I'm also not really seeing any grovelling any necessary apologies. Also, feel like I'm being set up for "unexpected" pregnancy. Hate this trope so much.
I love the potential this story has and so I'm going to try the next one and hope it's better because this didn't quite hit the mark for me. And I'm disappointed about it.
Edit: DNF'd the series. I promise it doesn't get better.

There’s a bit of suspended belief needed for this book. The violence and how they get away with it, especially when their victims are upper class, isn’t very believable, but the story line is a slight shift from your typical gang/mafia why choose. Mostly due to the lower income plot, the way anyone can hire them for their services, and the struggle to figure out their varying relationships. The last part is really what intrigues me about this series so far.

I loathe reading sex scenes involving minors. I mostly can mostly forget that these characters are in high school (17 years old) while reading because of their circumstances and how they act but still… ick.
