This is my first time reading a mafialike book so that maybe be why I feel like this but I feel like Roxy accepted her fate too quickly. Yeah she was fighting back in the beginning but really? A few orgasms and she’s fine with it all? Like it took literally a week. And the guys being like “she’s the hottest thing to walk the planet better not let my dick take over my heart” really didn’t work for me. 
I love the “who did this to you” trope but this was stupid. 
I get that Diesel was crazy, but it made him out to be more childlike. Yes yes it came from trauma, but crazy can be written better. And yeah torture porn is a thing but like chill out dude. 
I normally love banter and quips but there was too much of it and so many things got repeated constantly. This book could have been a lot shorter by taking out half of the rewritten banter. 
Oh and the ending….. like after
getting Garrett back and everyone healing up and having another three sex scenes
I was really expecting the book to end. I understand the scene of
finding her father and killing him
but maybe should have done that earlier. And the
new bars she made in honor of Rich
was nice and sentimental but it just dragged it on. And what was the point of the
five way marriage
? I mean
tying up the judge made me laugh
but if the point was to have her
have their name legally
they own the city and call the shots, plus have said repeatedly that
she’s one of them, she’s part of the family, she’s a viper
so I feel like that was unnecessary and basically filler to an already long book. 
Needless to say, I was hooked and read through this very fast. The sex scenes were very well detailed (even if I didn’t like all of them).
