Well, thank f*ck for the content warnings at the beginning, though to be honest, they partly got me to read this book as I was intrigued. This was my first dark romance, and it was a ride! I liked this book's mix of funny and disturbing, which probably says something about me.
The writing was a bit too descriptive at certain points for my ability to visualize things vividly, so be warned if you can also create very vivid pictures in your mind while you listen!
Overall it was enjoyable if a bit graphic and I mostly liked the main characters! I cannot wait to read the next book in the series!
Narrator Rating- 5 stars
Both narrators did an excellent job! You could tell they put production money into the audiobook!

TMI/TW:
The book starts with the FMC locked in a cage, starving, watching maggots eat the corpse of a man. As someone in healthcare, I've seen maggots like this, I've seen starvation far past the point of the FMC. But hearing her call the maggots an army of "orzo pastas" marching towards her & her growling stomach was...healing. A funny thought to replace a disturbing image.

I'm not typically a romance girlie, but I hesitantly picked this one up after hearing it recommended by multiple friends and now I'm very glad I did!
This book has it all. It's funny, it's smutty, it's sweet, it's gory. The banter and the humor is top tier. The spice was surprisingly delightful. The story built around rivalry and competition and slowly building a relationship was really fun. The characters are the kind you love getting to know and feel sad to leave behind when the book ends.
I cannot possibly speak high enough praise for the audiobook. The narrators do a phenomenal job and the quality is impeccable. Without a doubt the best audio recording I've ever experienced.
All the stars. Can't wait for the next one. Special thanks to my friends who bullied me - ya'll are real ones.
NOTE: Pay close attention to the trigger warnings, if things like that concern you. There are many of them.
