Just good lol. Reverse Harem with an actual plot that keeps things moving.
Lo was kidnapped as a 13 year old. Years later, she is at a party and catches her boyfriend Darrow (lead of Junior Arrows chapter) cheating. She retaliates by going to hookup with rival gang members and main love interests of book - Saint, Theo, Galen and Caz. They have two rules, they always share and they don’t go back for seconds. After hooking up with the group they inform her she will not be protected and of course later on they end up breaking their own rules as they fall for Lo. The other main plot of the book though has to do with the gangs, there are three main gangs in the area: The Sainthood, The Arrows and The Bulls. Saints dad, Sinner / Neo, is the leader of The Sainthood and was responsible for kidnapping Lo when she was 13 because he was in love with her mum Giana back in the day and they were engaged before Lo’s dad, Trey, met Giana and stole her away. Trey was murdered, come to find (no surprise) that Sinner is responsible. Plot focuses around finding out more of the backstory with the gang and history of Sinner and Trey. Book ends by revealing that Lo is the newest initiate of The Sainthood as Trey marked her w the gangs tattoo when she was 13, something that had been kept hidden till now.

Incredibly long winded series, but good character development. not nearly as much spice as I would have liked but the spice that is is top notch, hence my high rating. the scene the book is set in is interesting and dark, gang heavy.

Loved the book, but if I took a shot for Everytime someone 'roared' or 'flipped the bird' I'd have died of alcohol poisoning halfway through the first book.
