I got this book because of all the gossip on booktok, and I had to experience what everyone was talking about.
Story was kinda interesting, but the writing was meh. I loved Ryder and Kenzo anytime they came up (I gotta fall for a broody leader and a cocky womanizer). Garrett was okay. I didn't feel too connected with him during the story much. Felt like he was just kinda...there amongst everything until the end. Diesel was very hard to like. He felt pretty cringe to me, like a wanna-be Joker/Deadpool type character. I would enjoy the story more if he wasn't in it, in my opinion. 
The ending was killing me cause the main story finished but then there were like 80 pages left to read and it felt like oh my god, when is this going to just end already?! 
Overall okay read. Some of the spice scenes were actually kinda hot, but some (mostly the ones with Diesel) were....interesting...but it wasn't my thing.

The book was kinda long for what it is. Got a little repetitive but all in all it’s an okay book if this is what you are looking for. Definitely spicy!!

This book was definitely not what I expected. It was a lot happening within the span of like a week. I didn’t realize this until over half way through the book. I thought this was a few months maybe, but no this was like a week. maybe two. I liked it other than that, a lot of romance and different things like that. Some of the kinky stuff I’m not really a fan of reading about, but it was a wide variety of that. I think there’s a bit of everything in this book for romance readers all around.

I had seen this book all over TikTok and it seemed really polarizing with some people loving and some hating it and DNFing it, after reading it, I totally get it. This one is DEFINITELY not for everyone and for sure don't let your children take a peek. This one takes some dark turns so make sure to check all trigger warnings before giving it a go.

Roxy owns a dive bar and lives in the underside of the city. She has been through some shit and come out the other side stronger. Then, her dad sells her to the most powerful gang in the city to pay his debts. What starts as a kidnapping quickly turns into something... else. The steam was super steamy but the story was also interesting and I always wanted to keep reading to find out what was going to happen.

The one thing I had to overlook was the typos and weird formatting in a few places. This is a self-published book so you just have to expect things like that and move on. Compared to lots of others I've picked up, it was few and far between that I found a typo.

This book counts for Popsugar 2022 for a #booktok recommendation.

challenging dark funny tense

Dark, deranged and intense. I avoided this book for months because of the reviews and shocked reactions, but turns out I really like dark romance. And I mean dark. Not a Comfort Read by any means, but the banter was hilarious, the characters unhinged and overall I had a lot of fun reading this.

So.... I don't even know where to start..... It moved kinda fast, the "spice" was a little overkill and I'm not sure that I like the main character (sorry 🤷🏾.) With that out the way.... I can't say it was COMPLETELY bad. It just could've been executed better 🤷🏾. However..... I don't have a fav viper 💪🏾. 4 hot guys willing to do whatever it takes for the ones they love?? Sign me up!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
