Really.
It is rough, spicy, kinky, with lot of plots.
This is a really strange reading experience with two majors issues for me.
Writring a really good dark kinky college romance doesnāt fit AT ALL with twentyish young adults craving for a pregnancy. What in the actual F and also WHY?
The second issue for me was for half of the book, the naivety of the FMC was too much. I was this close to think that she was stupidā¦ And out of nowhere she was able to stand up for herself.
It was about damn time, because she had everything in her hand to put their heads in their own asses.
And even after that, I still think the characters could have been so much moreā¦

You need to check the TW before reading this one and check your feminism at the door, because this was dark.
The LORDS, a glorified frat, have high expectations for their members. Their initiation process includes forced celibacy and murder. After three years of celibacy, each man gets to chose a "chosen" (essentially a sex-slave). Of course Ryat, psychopath that he is, is a member.
Blakely's boyfriend of 3 years (another psychopath) is also a member of the LORDS, but she has no knowledge of it. She is also in a forced arranged marriage with this douche, no biggie. How has she been in the dark this long, considering both her boyfriend and father are members?
Anyways, Ryot choses Blakely as his "chosen" after being told to do so from her FATHER. WTF! and it spirals out for control from there.
Ryot is your typical controlling, possessive, jealous asshole. Blakely is the innocent virgin who is magically into all these intense acts .. ya ok... She is honestly the most idiotic and naive character.
Their connection was very forced, shallow, and based on a physical connection. He protects her, she gives herself to him, that pretty much sums it up. This is basically Stockholm Syndrome at its worst.
Tropes: dark, secret society, touch her/you die
