This is a RH bully romance.
First, I loved this book. I couldn’t put it down. In a lot of spicy books I’ve read sometimes there is too much plot with not a lot of spice or the plot is subpar. Atlas does an amazing job at finding that balance. Usually if the the plot is bleh, I find myself skipping through the plot and reading just the romance / smutty parts. Not only was the spice amazing but the plot had me wondering what was going on and what was going to happen next.
The book starts off with Ryth’s house being burned down and her father being thrown in jail by the feds due to his dealings with a mafia family. Her and her mom move in “temporarily” with her old college friend Creed Banks and his 3 sons; Tobias, Nick, and Caleb.
They just recently lost their mother and are not happy to have any other women in the house,Tobias especially being the youngest and closest to his mom. He vows to ruin Ryth. However all 3 brothers find themselves becoming enthralled with Ryth’s innocent and sweet personality.
After a few days their parents announce they’re getting married. Ryth and the boys are distraught but their parents seemed more concerned with one another then their kids. There is also some kind of cult society maybe that the parents are involved in. The Scooby gang try to figure it out along with trying to get Ryth’s dad out of prison who claims someone set him up.
The tension, the spice. Let me tell you. *Chef’s kiss* The scenes were so

Not a huge fan of the overall writing and descriptions. For example, I could not tell you what a single character looks like because we got told like once at the very beginning of the story and never again lol.
slow-paced
I was super excited about this book just because of the gorgeous cover art and all the TikToks I've come across. However, I was hoping for a bit more plot. While the steamy scenes were definitely enjoyable, I would have loved to see more story and character development mixed in! Oh, and just a heads up—there's a cliffhanger at the end!

A very dark romance book with lots of taboo CNC, dubcon, and other dark tropes. Check the trigger warnings before reading.
Ryth’s family is torn apart due to some unknown mob tie and she and her mother move in with her mother’s friend and his three sons. One of the son’s has definite anger issues and bullies Ryth, the other two keep their distance for a short while. All three decide they want to own Ryth and the brothers are content to share.
Not much plot, but what plot is there is decent. Ryth tries to find out what happened to her dad and why he’s in prison, Ryth’s mom marries the friend, and the three boys become step-brothers. There are some mob undertones and possibly a cult? It leaves on a cliffhanger, so I’ll have to read the second book to find out.
I read the ebook and listened to the audiobook. The characters in the book are 18, 19, and unknown ages for the two eldest brothers, but can assume they’re in their 20’s. The female narrator kind of sounds like the narrator from the tv show The Desperate Housewives, and the male narrator is very angry. So 2/5 for the audio. Once you get past the age of their voices, it’s not terrible.

Couldn’t put this down & stop from reading. I was instantly sucked in. Great storyline, cliffhanger & strong characters. Cannot wait to read book 2.
