Okay, 600 page book without any plot. It's pretty much smut cover to cover. 

The writing isn't great, some of it doesn't make sense. There were sentences and paragraphs I would try to reread trying to make them make sense and still couldn't figure it out.

I almost DNFd 3-4 times in the book, but I heard so many great things I kept gritting through it hoping it would get better. 

Also a few plot holes, there is stuff that just "happens" out of nowhere. The entire last 100 pages or so of the book is content trying to wrap up the story, it feels rushed and just kind of thrown in there. Plus a lot of cringey moments and tons of snake/viper metaphors that are somewhat unnecessary. 

Definitely not my favoutie.

Look was this messed up? Yes. Did I enjoy it? Yes 🙈 I honestly really liked Roxy as a main character she made me laugh. I liked all the guys (Ryder was my least favorite, he bored me). I do wish there was a little more Kenzo and Garrett because I loved them. D was something he made me laugh though. I do have to say the writing wasn’t very good especially during Ryders pov which is maybe why I didn’t like him as much.

This was a dark, sexy and very entertaining read, I loved the heroine and all four heros, buuuut the action scene sometimes seemed a little bit cartoonish and that took me out of the story.
