This duet was really good overall; I loved the development and backstory depth of each character, the pacing at which their bonds were formed, and the little bit of suspense on the side. There was so much that I liked, but one component that I didn’t care for was the FMCs treatment for the first chunk of book 1. Sure the MMCs grew emotional connections to her over time, but it didn’t feel like they truly gained feelings until they “realized” her beauty, which felt shallow and undeserving in a way.
There was something about this reverse harem that felt different than others I've read, I just can't seem to put my finger on what it was. The spice was detailed and fun, but I thought there would have been more of it quantity wise. The first part ends in a cliffhanger, and most of book 2 is spent on the boys groveling, so maybe there just wasn’t enough storyboard time to squeeze more in.

This series was fast paced, fun and STEAMY!
Each book features a curvy/plus sized FMC, which I ALWAYS love to see, and a possessive and alluring MMC, if you can say that about murderous mafia leaders, stalkers and kidnappers. The bulk of each storyline is focused on the respective main couple’s dynamic rather than external threats, making the climax feel later hitting than expected (I’m talking 80% or more of the way through). While it may not be mandatory to read all of the books to make sense of things as they progress, I would highly recommend reading them all, and in order. I loved all of the MMCs individually, and furthermore enjoyed how their comradery grew over time. Choosing a favorite between them all, I would definitely say DOM comes out slightly on top, with his book and HANS being tied for best overall reads.

Wow, this was a STEAMY and fast moving duet!
I absolutely loved this series, and the characters involved in this mafia reverse harem. The plot didn’t waste any time, jumping right in to set quite a brisk pace that simultaneously managed to never feel rushed. At a combined total of 750+ pages, it would have been very easy for all of the sex scenes to get stale, but this work of erotica art was some of the least repetitive and spiciest reads I have ever read!

*I thrifted an ARC of this book, so I am not sure if anything was different in the official publishing
This book was cute and occasionally funny, but overall a fairly emotional read. A group of strangers come together to form a bar trivia team, each going through various relationship, employment, financial and mental health struggles. Their respective journeys show that life can honestly be shit sometimes, and finding friends to go through the hard times with can make all the difference. I was happy with the resolutions laid out for each character in the end, but I felt the book still left a slightly depressing taste in my mouth rather than the hopeful feeling it was likely going for.

I stumbled upon this book through a stuff-your-kindle promotion. It had an interesting enough premise, but the pacing was not the most consistent. Considering it was framed as a redemption plotline, I felt like not enough time was spent on the main antagonist, and by the time it got around to addressing him in what should have been a pivotal climax, the conclusion was rushed and practically swept under the rug. Additionally, there were multiple times that Spanish dialogue was randomly thrown in, with no translations, which would have been very limiting in print if I had not been reading this on my Kindle.

If Brynne Weaver writes it, I am going to LOVE it!
Finishing off the Ruinous Love trilogy, Rose was by far the most realistic FMC of the series; she want so badly to be a serial killer but keeps fucking it up and is too squeamish for the gore that comes with the job. She and Fionn had great chemistry, and I was happy with the pace in which they got together. There were plenty of laughs as well as spice, and as always, some uncomfortable things done with food and body parts 😉 I enjoyed how it weaved in the other book’s main couples, giving them all a nice ending and setup to what seems to be the next spinoff from Weaver!
