If you’re looking for a bully series, this is it.

I’ve NEVER enjoyed RH before but with these three guys? Oh good lord. How could you not!? Some things they did made me want to stop reading, the things being cruel and downright wrong but I stuck with it and I’m glad I did.

The only thing I didn’t like is when Monroe joined the group. Don’t ask me why, I just don’t click with Monroe and I wish I could. They really did a number on Tatum BUT she didn’t back down, even when she wish she could. She’s strong and even though she meets rock bottom, she finds things that are worth fighting for.

Beware, there is A LOT of ‘growling’ in this book. All the men do it every other line but that was fine by me
challenging dark

This was pretty brutal. Downsides are that is moved a bit slow in some parts, the prose is fairly purple and you have to suspend a lot of disbelief because it's pretty OTT. Even though this came out right at the beginning of our current pandemic they really got a lot of elements of how Americans were going to behave spot on, bet the authors never expected that. Some of the characters are a bit hard to get into because they are so over the top you can't connect with them. So overall this was a mixed bag for me but I think I'll read the next book to see where this goes. There are lots of triggers throughout this book on a variety of topics so be warned.
