I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
I did really like this book, and liked that it had an actual plotline, and not just spice. I loved that each person felt distinct, (at least after the first couple chapters), and had their own stories. Is it realistic? Probably not, but I didn't care about that. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars, is because it was A LOT of swearing(which I don't generally mind), and a lot of it felt misplaced I guess? Like it was put there just to have it, not for any emphasis or purpose. I did consider dnfing it because of this, because it kept pulling me out of the story. I did really enjoy it in the end and got invested in the MC's, especially River and Jasper.
If you're into why choose spicy books, good badboys and crime, then this book might be for you.
