⟡ Review ⟡
Zayden becomes instantly obsessed with Blake the moment he sees her. After saving her from an attack and going to prison for it, he asks his twin brother Dominic to keep her safe. But Dom falls for her too and unlike Zayden, he actually gets the girl. Zayden makes a deal with the devil to be released early and is gutted and furious to find his brother and Blake together. 

This toes the line between “deliciously obsessive” and “too much”. 
Zayden was definitely not my cup of tea in the beginning and the way he impersonated his brother without Blake knowing gave me the ick. I appreciated Dom and definitely needed him to even things out. 
The spice was plentiful and very good and while this is definitely heavy on the smut, there was enough story behind it to keep me hooked. 
Eventually, I did come around on Zayden. And once the dynamic between all three developed into something consensual and mutual, I really enjoyed it, in particular, how the brothers slowly came around to accept that the only way to keep Blake was accepting to share her. 

So objectively, this is not perfect by any means. But I had a hell of a good time reading.
