“You’re going to come for me again. You’re going to come so many fucking times tonight that you black out. And then I’ll probably still make you come. When you wake up tomorrow, you’re going to know that You. Are. Mine!”

 

I devoured this book! It was a one-sitting, stay-up-all-night read that left me dying for more (yes, I forgot this was book one in a series and was absolutely blindsided by that cliffhanger). It’s an excellent blending of hockey and mafia tropes with some amnesia and best friends to rivals thrown in.

 

If possessive MMCs with an armful of red flags are your kryptonite, you will fall in love with these men. Why settle for one OTT J/P man when you can have four? A bit of light kidnapping never hurt anyone, right? And everyone needs to be stalked by an obsessed male, for their safety, of course.

 

Medium burn and spicy with loads of good girls, possessive application of cum, and “mine”.

 

Back to the cliffhanger… I was not prepared. I do not know how I will make it until March.
