5.0

If you are this far into the series, you probably know it'll be spicy- but if not then here's your warning. I love Tink and Hook as main characters. The love Hook feels for Tink from the beginning is palpable, and I love a good marriage of convenience. Just be warned that there are some potential triggering topics in this book, so check the content warnings to make sure you will feel safe reading this book.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Confinement, Stalking, and Sexual content

Moderate: Grief, Blood, Violence, Death, Gun violence, Murder, Domestic abuse, Emotional abuse, Injury/Injury detail, and Toxic relationship

As with the other books in the series, this is very graphic sexually and delves into BDSM. A lot of the book premises around Tink's desire to remain safe from and continue to hide from an emotionally and sometimes physically abusive ex who continues to stalk her now that he knows she's not protected from his reach anymore. This leads to her feeling trapped/confined as she hides. In addition, as with the other books, the territory leaders are to some extent gang leaders which comes with violence and death.
