There is gun and knife play in the midst of consensual sex. There isn't an option to add those as CW/TW but those could really be triggering.naaytaashreads's review against another edition

I gave this a 4 star for smut but 3 stars for plot. Overall, it was entertaining.
This was a thick baby. I didn't know what to expect.
I was like what plotline it's going to give me with 600 pages for a standalone.
A few chapters in I was like, oh okay, there's little plot in here but a lot of smut, so I accepted it and enjoyed the entertainment of it.
The characters are definitely highlight of the entire show.
All crazy personalities put together, up to no good, lots of fighting, blood, and violence. It was pure chaos.
All the characters had their fun moments. I enjoyed the banter and teasing we have between Roxy and all the men.
Throughout the plotline, we see a storyline of each character's personality and history.
They each have their own chemistry with Roxy and how each of their connection is special to them.
I love Diesel. Yes, he is the craziest, but he made everything so fun.
As the story goes, I fall in love with him more and more after each page.
Kenzo is such a baby sweetheart. I will go to him for some loving and cuddles.
Garrett is a badass too, with such a softie, fluffy heart, honestly.
Ryder, the boss, is such a dad and mom. He takes care of everybody.
I think there is a mix of smut and action.
Although sometimes the plotline makes little sense, where you don't really know what's their main purpose or mission is but the action is so badass and so dramatic, I love it.
I want a bonus novella or something.
I want to see them as Dads, please.

Roxy owns a dive bar and lives in the underside of the city. She has been through some shit and come out the other side stronger. Then, her dad sells her to the most powerful gang in the city to pay his debts. What starts as a kidnapping quickly turns into something... else. The steam was super steamy but the story was also interesting and I always wanted to keep reading to find out what was going to happen.
The one thing I had to overlook was the typos and weird formatting in a few places. This is a self-published book so you just have to expect things like that and move on. Compared to lots of others I've picked up, it was few and far between that I found a typo.
This book counts for Popsugar 2022 for a #booktok recommendation.

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.
