Ohhh boy, where to begin? I found this whole book completely frustrating. Never mind the main character is SA’d and the response to that is basically “you’re not the first and won’t be the last, get over it” What?!?! And when Sorcha finally does complete her task her brothers are ungrateful assholes and are confusing protectiveness with arrogance. The only thing I liked about this book was was Sorcha and Red’s relationship. But everything else was horrible, couldn’t stand the amount of dicks in this book, and honestly I was so done that I couldn’t make myself read the last 10 pages. Very disappointing considering the good things that was said about this book.
