Diesel, Ryder, Garrett, and Kenzo are The Vipers. Ryder is the front man and face of their legitimate and illegitimate companies. Garrett is the enforcer. Kenzo is the bookie. And Diesel is the assassin. They are ruthless, brutal, and sexy as hell. They run this city and nobody crosses them. When Rob racks up a debt to them that he can’t pay, he offers to sell his daughter, Roxxane, to them to cover it. Roxy has been on her own since she was 17 and is now 24–and a total badass. She owns Roxers, a dive bar in town. When the Vipers come to collect her, she knows she has no way of getting away from them. But as infuriated as Roxy is by being taken as property, she soon can’t help but be attracted to her captors. And once she realizes they’re all broken in their own way, they all find ways to help each other heal.

Thought I'd read it for the sake of booktok hype but it was pretty blegh.

For real, the smut was awful, sounded like a bad gang bang po/rn film with some kind of copy of A Serbian Film. The plot? THERE WAS NONE. I remember I picked up this book because of TikTok obviously so I wanted to see what everyone was talking (curiosity killed the cat indeed) about but one girl talked about the approach to mafia and how they build family around friends, ehmmm, more than half of the book was only about sex and dirty talk, how is that building relationships?. They were like 5 out of 70 chapters in total about the plot and regret the time spent on this, but that’s my fault for not believing about how awful this was.
If you excuse me, I will go and wash my eyes with soap.
