Listen...this book started out really promising. Dark romance? Heck yeah. Smut? Give it to me! But at about 90%, all I could think is, "why is this book so GD long?" The unnecessary spicy scenes. The chapters of just info dumping. The cringey descriptions. I just can't do it anymore. You could take at least 3 of the unnecessar  spicy scenes out, and I swear this book would be 200 pages shorter. And much easier to get through.

I loved the tropes and the bases of this story, I found the men to be very lovable. Roxanne's constant monologues just took it down for me, she was very repetitive and it felt like filler. Despite that I did have a lot to love throughout it, she was just lacking for me.

Throw me to the wolves and I will come back leading the pack.... never underestimate a woman, because those seen as weak have a lot less to lose than those with everything.

Sorry pals... this book did *not* have to be this long. I was really enjoying the plot at the beginning, which then completely dropped out for sex on top of sex on top of sex--fine, but at least make it relevant or make it move the plot along, because overall, I did like the story arc.

Diesel & Roxy gave me Joker & Harley Quinn vibes, the whole Viper setup was cool, but it could've been 100 pages shorter and been great.

Some small editing and formatting mistakes were annoying as well (typos, double printed sentences, etc.)

What the fuck. 

After reading over 600 freaking pages of the book I'm wondering why I put myself through this kind of torture. 
The smut was fire tho- at least in the beginning. After they already had sex about a thousand times in the first 200 pages, it just got boring and that's something I never expected to say. Ever. 

If you are a masochist maybe you'll like this book but I wouldn't bet on it :

Where to even begin...

This is, by far, the worst dark romance I have ever read. If not one of the worst books I have read. Omg. What even was that?

This book could have been such a good story had the author actually thought a bit further than:

-how dirty can I make the sex
-how disgusting can I make murder
-how many times can I use the word viper and snake related puns
-Roxy's wardrobe
-crazy bastard
-I hate you

This is over 600 pages of the same scenes and lines. 400 of these pages can be ripped out and you would miss nothing.

Roxy does not come off as strong. She comes off as unappealing, trashy and in need of a good kick.

And everyone and everything is scared of them? And they own everything and everyone? 

No, man. I'm actually angry now. Fire your editor, please. I have read fanfiction better than this.
