I've been trying and dropping a lot of kindle unlimited books, to see if I want to continue using it. 

I dropped three before this one so that's definitely a point in its favor. Also I feel like it actually delivers on being a *dark* romance. Like everyone's all morally gray at best and very weird. Like SAW but make it sexy lmao. 

Unfortunately there were lots of parts that didn't make sense. From physical positioning that isn't well described to lack of explanation for some truly suspension of disbelief breaking twists. And I thought that while the characters had a lot of charm on page they lacked depth. 

I would try the authors again, If you like really dark romance it's better than a lot of what's on offer

MMF is my absolute favourite jam. The threesome sex was fabulous. The rest of the book was mediocre.

If a book isn’t dystopian or paranormal then it has to have some modicum of reality about it. Throw in a scene where a young naked woman kills a room full of child abusers with a knife, that’s skirting reality too much for me. I don’t understand why they were there, how they got there or why it was part of a game.

The character Three, and his part in the story was bizarre. The appearing and disappearing knickers early in the book should have been a sufficient red flag for me but as I say threesomes are my weakness and that part was actually quite well done if you can look beyond someone stepping away when they are lying on a bed. Continuity is everything!

Oh and make sure the models on the cover match your characters, that’s another pet peeve.

“What would you be willing to do for a million dollars? Or better yet...” Tobias takes my chin in his hand and forces me to look at him. “What would you not do?”


this book really had me questioning my morals, huh. the amount of times i decided i’m going to drop it and yet kept on reading is unbelievable. i liked it? i hated it? i don’t know! i loved that the book had an open ending, though. i kind of wish we got another book just to see ella’s new personality. + i need more of tobias benton…
