DID NOT FINISH

This book wasn’t for me, while I love a little BDSM this story seemed a bit much.

Too religious. Bro needs to stop repeating that he's a dom and she's naturally submissive and that he won't act on it before fucking her 2 minutes later and apologising for it!!

I like the premise of the story and overall I enjoyed it. The reason I didn't rate it any higher is because it felt a little clunky, drawn out and/or repetitive at times.

I did enjoy the relationship between Levi & Ruth. I also look forward to learning more about each brother and seeing how the whole story and everyone winds up. 

My hope is that as the story and books progress they get more polished and refined. 

Overall a decent start to an intriguing series.

This would have been 5 stars if the author didn’t rely so heavily on ribcages, growling, and purring to move the story forward. 

This is a religious cult series about 5 brothers trying to escape the cult. They have to get married and try to help their wives escape as well. They do this while playing good cult members on the outside. 

The cult and the members are terrible people. The brothers are good and really funny. 

The scenes are 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ but the author needs to expand their vocabulary so they aren’t so repetitive.

Leviticus is the first in a series following five brothers as they navigate their arranged marriages while planning to leave the religious cult they were raised in. Each brother also has a different kink that is explored during the book.
In this book, Leviticus (Levi), is the oldest brother and ends up marrying a woman who he quickly finds is naturally submissive in a way that pairs with his Dominant side very well.
Overall, I like the concept of this story and would like to continue the series, however, I found that there was a large lack of editing to this book with a lot of grammatical, spelling, and sentence structure errors that gravely influenced my experience with the book. Had those not been present (or even just less), I would have given this book four stars instead of three.

I actually recently read the third book in the series first and was so astounded by it that I had to come back and read the series from the start. I read a lot of things all over the romance-erotica spectrum and this series has just left me feeling...wow. The intimate relationship between Levi and Ruth is just spectacular as they build their D/s life. And then juxtapose that against the Zion community and the male-female roles. Simply amazing series.
