I really enjoyed this book. At times, I thought it might take the number one spot so far for me in the Lords series. This book was about Tyson and Laikyn’s story. I liked the overlap with characters from the previous books. There was lots of spice and plot. As usual, check your trigger warnings. Highly recommend if you enjoyed the previous books.

I liked this way better than the second! It provides more of a plot line while still keeping the spice.

Doormat FMC with abusive husband dark romance. Messy and confusing plot was only fully explained in final 2 pages, no real reason for the two main characters to fall in love. It’s giving Stockholm syndrome. Sex scenes were repetitive, phrases were overused and this book was a whole lot of bullshit.

This was by far the best book in this series so far! This story kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time and I could not put this down! The forced marriage/touch and her and die story was so well written and has set things up nicely for the next book. 

I really enjoyed learning Tyson's backstory and appreciated Ryat and Sin from the two previous books were featured. I loved the dual POVs of Tyson and Laikyn and how we could see both sides of the same situation which helped keep me engaged in the story and answered lots of questions. 

I definitely did not see the twist that came and really enjoyed that it actually fit in with the storyline stead of going off the rail like other books.

The story of Tyson and Lake is so intense. I had in my head a whole different view and backstory of Tyson so this book changed my perspective! His journey among the Lords seems lonely on the aspect of not having any family relationships. He has his close Lord friends but I feel a sense loneliness for him. Could that have been the matching factor for these two? Smut is on key! This book has some WILD turns! Many things I did not see coming!
