I didn’t like how

micheal never apologizes to her like it was a really traumatizing event and he straight up was like huh that sucks wanna make out? end

the whole tense plot of why are they in jail and why is it Rikas fault really had me on edge wondering what’s gonna happen next. Recommend if you like romantic thrillers!

I just… it’s a very cis-white-rich-straigth-book. HUGE y/n main character with a harem, not a good harem though. The 🌶 is cool, al least we know that they where okey with what was going on. 
All the warnings that i mentioned where just there and no one actually talked about them, seriously. Wouldn’t  recommend unless you want what i just said. 
ALSO, for the love of god the amount of toxicity holy molly. I still don’t know how the book ended the way it did.

The 85% mark/ chapter 25 part of this book gets five stars and will live rent free in my head for awhile 😌

This book is supposed to be dark romance about these men that want to get revenge on this girl that made some of them go to jail a few years ago. My problem with it was that it wasn’t really that dark and if you are gonna go there then go big. I would have preferred to see more stuff they did to mess with her and the others pushing Michael’s limits more. I also think that Rika should have saved herself more in a few scenarios since that seemed like kind of the point. It’s a fun read if you throw your morals out of the window.
