Abbs Valley #7
The Heart of Psychos: Part Two
Everyone warns you that it isn't safe when you step into this life.
Danger lurks in every corner, and I’m constantly looking over my shoulder to see what will happen next. The villain in our story is supposed to be a protector, a father. But all he does is bring sorrow to his son, and he tried to take three important people from our lives. Will the villain succeed in his devious plot? Or will his son make the biggest mistake by leaving Abbs Valley behind to protect us?
My guys are fighting like hell to protect me. But who’s protecting them?
This villain underestimated me as the weak spot. He doesn’t understand that I’ll lay my life down for my guys, my family. It’s up to me to hold it all together. He doesn’t know that I’m the heart of these psychos.
Game on, bitches.
**The Heart of Psychos Part two is part of a duet. It’s a #whychoose/polyamorous romance meaning the main character has more than one love interest. This book also contains male/male content and relationships. It's intended for audiences 18+. It is a continuation of the Abbs Valley series and can be read as a stand-alone (with spoilers for the previous books). Be sure to check the content/trigger warnings at the beginning of the book.

When I tell you I cried at the end (author notes) because this is the last one for a while in Abbs Valley I’m not kidding 🥹😭 This was my fav harem out of all of them & that’s saying A LOT because I’m obsessed with Les! The spice was top tier like always with Ames. This one didn’t have as many bi awakenings most of them knew they dabbled with men, but it didn’t make it any less spicy 🥵 I can’t scream enough about these books! They are beyond anything I could ever imagine. Mafia reverse harem with MM there’s nothing that tops this series!!
Ames I’m worshipping the ground you walk on at this point 🧎🏻♀️

She’s done it AGAIN!!
This is the 7th book in the Abbs Valley world and they’ve all just kept getting better!! This is a mafia why choose with ⚔️ story that follows Bridget, Ghost, Caden, Alexey, Dmitri, Banger and Nikolay. The first part ended in devastation but have no fear our fearless leader has made everything better! This is an absolute beautiful story and an ending (only for now I hope) to a wonderful world she has created. Her spice is unmatched and the best I’ve ever read! It’s so hard to say goodbye to these characters when you’ve grown so attached. One of my favorite things about these books is that all the characters are so intertwined within each story. You get to see each and every one of the characters grow and change from each duet. If I can convince you to read one series and one author let it be this one! We read to feel and she makes you have all the feels! Thank you Ames for writing some of the best books EVER!!

Book two picks up where book one ends
Retaliation. That’s what Ghost faces when his own family hurts his made family. Especially when Bridget is caught in the cross fire. Getting lost in his own headspace he makes a choice, to stop the chaos, for if he doesn’t, it will swallow him whole. But when his attempt is thwarted, he now has to reap the actions of his consequences.
Caden is in dark place, his choices were taken away from him, put is a position, he chose to protect Bridget, and he wouldn’t hesitate to do it again. The only people Caden can tolerate is Noah and Ghost. Emotions are running high but they find an outlet to focus on, to bring them together in their time of need.
Nikolay’s feelings towards Bridget are manifesting into something more. He wants more with her, and is beginning to accept the dynamics of her unconventional relationship with Alexey, Dmitri, Ghost, Caden and Banger. Because it is here that he finds that Ghost responds to him on a level that allows Ghost to be who he is out of fear or reprisal, it unlocks a part of Ghost, allowing him to feel wanted, needed, accepted, but more-so loved.
Family her is very important to all of them. During a dinner, Bridget introduces her boyfriends to her mom. Her mom is taken aback. It is not a life her mom wanted for her, but her guys make her happy, and they happily explain to her mom their situation and circumstances allowing Bridget’s mom to get a better understanding of what and who they are, and that they would protect Bridget from any harm with their own life.
Which leads to Nikolay having a conversation with his brother about his relationship with Bridget and Ghost, and that he won’t be returning to the family fold. Because he is where he is meant to be with his family. Then that very awkward yet open minded conversation with their mom, alleviating any worry he may have had, because all a mother would ever want is for there children to be happy, safe and loved and accepted for who they are.
And they finally get their man Tink and Ghosts brother Gavin. They get their answers which leads to more questions and what part Ghosts sister Gemma plays in all of this. Which leads them to put into action there plan, leaving Bridget in the dark, as painful as Ghost’s words are to her, Bridget holds out hope, and when a letter makes there intentions clear, boy are her guys in trouble and are in for a lot of grovelling.
It all finally comes to a head. Ghost’s dad Grant gets his comeuppance, his sister Gemma’s pays for her betrayal, Gavin remains where he is working to make amends through his charitable foundation. And Ghost gets to live his life his way without the burden of his past and that of his own family, for he now has the freedom to love without prejudice.
And that scene where Caden, Alexey, Dmitri, Banger, Nikolay and Ghost propose to Bridget, had all the love and feels you could possibly want. Each of them expressing their love to their girl, what she gives to them individually, loving them unconditionally flaws and all, accepting them as a whole, is nothing short of amazing and beautiful and one she and they wouldn’t change for the world.
But that HEA, it was bittersweet as it was magical, and one couldn’t have asked for a better ending than that.
P.S. Let’s talk about those blazing hot bedroom scenes. The dynamics between Alexey, Dimitri and Bridget. Ghost, Caden and Bridget. Ghost, Caden and Alexey. Ghost, Nikolay and Bridget. Ghost and Bridget. Caden and Bridget. Banger and Bridget. Nikolay and Bridget. And those group scenes were as what the author had stated.
With Bridget, there possessiveness and obsessive need for control and dominance, there foreplay it was off the charts. There need for her and each other was possessive, wicked and depraved, She own’s their heart as they own hers heart, mind and body. Those s*x scenes were blazing hot, downright dirty and physical, it had all the pleasure and passion one would expect for they will be all that Bridget will need for they will always get what they want, each giving the other pain and pleasure, they deserve.
This book has it all romance, six possessive dominant alpha males, one sassy female who knows what she wants and isn’t shy on how she goes about getting it and gives as good as she gets, touch him/ her and die vibes, family and friend dynamics, madness, mayhem, revenge, vengeance, violence, defiance, manipulation, adrenaline seeking suspense, jealousy, twists and truths.
Because in the end, she is the heart of these much loves psychos!
I received an ARC, therefore am leaving a voluntary review.
Highly recommend both author and book!

I received this book as an ARC and would have finished it in one day if I didn’t have to plan a birthday party but… THIS BOOK! 😍 It’s the first ARC I have ever received and was SO EXCITED when I received the email!!!
After Part 1’s cliffhanger… Part 2 definitely came through!
Spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Plot/Characters ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’ve been hooked on Abbs Valley since the first chapter of Riches to Riches Part 1. I’m going to have a hard time letting go of all of these characters, but I’m so excited how this book leads to a series starting with The Saviors! I love that this book, like the others, has a strong FMC and amazing MMCs. Ames Mills’ writing is amazing and keeps you sucked in! Definitely check the triggers if you are a reader that has triggers, especially if you haven’t read Part 1, but READ THIS BOOK (and the rest in this series)!!!!!!!

*ARC Review* I am so sad that the Abbs Valley world has come to an end (for now). But holy crap, what a wild, crazy, amazing ride it has been!
This book was the perfect conclusion to this series. We’ve seen almost all of these characters since the very beginning in Riches to Riches, and it was so great to finally see everything fall into place for them. My heart was literally broken after Part One, but Ames more than made up for the heartbreak with this book. That doesn’t mean there still wasn’t hella drama and action in this one too, though!
As always, the spice was just 😙👌🏼 *chefs kiss*. The chemistry between this group has always been so steamy. It was amazing to see all of the new (and old) relationships grow and thrive throughout this book. There should really be a page at the beginning dedicated to warning the readers to keep a vibrator (or SO) near and an extra pair of panties on standby 😂😏
Through all of the tears, screams of outrage, the blatant anger, (the orgasms), and the heartbreak, there were still so so many laughs. This group has some of the best personalities, and while much of this book (and series) is very serious and contains hella dark content, Ames and the characters are still able to have me cackling away.
The personal growth each of these characters achieve is so admirable. Throughout their journey (some we’ve witnessed from the very beginning of the Abbs Valley series), this group has gone through so much trauma, yet they are able to fights their demons and grow and love one another in the process. Whether they are battling addiction, mental health issues, PTSD, past child abuse, you name it - they all manage to better themselves and establish one badass family in the process.
Of course, it has been exciting getting a sneak-peak into some of the dynamics of The Saviors throughout the series, and I am so excited to see what Ames has in store for Daddy Axel and his crew!
Ames, you did it again - you knocked it out of the park. And as we all know, Ames is actually the true heart of all these Abbs Valley psychos 😉

All hail the queen of RH/why choose/poly romance!!
If you’re new here, stop what you’re doing right now, put down your current read and go download the first book in this series immediately. I’m serious. Also go ahead and clear your schedule, probably call in sick to work. You’re not gonna want to stop until you finish the entire series. Trust me on this. To say I’m obsessed with this series would be a huge understatement. If you’re already caught up, then get ready, because Ames brought her A game to this one. It’s so freaking good! She does such a great job of bringing these characters to life for us. Ghost, Caden, Nik, Bridget, Banger, Lex and D the relationship between them is so beautiful. Now on to the spicy scenes. I would like to personally thank Ames for chapter 25, it will forever live rent free in my head. Also chapter 15. Also chapter 11, which unlocked a new kink for me, who knew guys in masks were hot? Throughout this series Gage has been my number one guy, but I think Caden may have knocked him out of the top spot with this book. This book was a great end(hopefully not forever) to Abbs Valley. I will miss all the guys and their leading ladies.

The nicknames are so bad. It’s the only thing I hate about these books. That, and the spicy positions they get into. So many times I have to stop and think way too much about who put what in where and is that even possible. Otherwise I enjoy her books immensely.

With this being the final book in the Abbs Valley series... My heart is happy! Even though this book was a complete freaking ride, I enjoyed it every step of the way. Caden didn't let what happened to him take 2 years of sobriety away from him. He had the biggest support system he could ask for. I loved how Bridget started stepping up and asking questions, and observing. She's a badass in my book. Relationships grew between everyone. This book was the perfect ending to Abbs Valley. I'm sad that it's over, but I can't wait to read about The Saviors!

Great ending to a great series
This was a really good ending to wrap up The Abbs Valley world. Starting with Riches to Riches and ending here it was a wild ride.
This was a smutty hot book! Lots of sex,
MF/MMMF/MMMMFM/MMMM. And it was written very well.
This family loved each other and you could just read how much. Bridget was perfect for them. With her sassy attitude but her sweetness when they needed it.
Riches to Riches sat in my library forever. So glad I gave this a chance.
Can’t wait for her other books about The Saviors to come out

The Heart of Psychos, Part Two, book 7 of the Abbs Valley series by Ames Mills @author.ames.mills. Ames is one of my absolutely favorite authors. This was a phenomenal re-read by Ames, as always! I've updated my prior review to remove all spoilers.
What a fantastic conclusion about Bridget, Alexey, Dmitri, Nikolai, Ghost, Banger & Caden! Tropes: Contemporary, Mafia, MM, Twins, Father Issues, Recovering Drug Addict, Gang War, Found Family & HFN!

Forced myself to finish this one. Each duet is basically the same premise. Very little plot with a bad guy, multiple men that are clones of the previous book. One has a cock piercing, one need dominating, one is a bit crazy, one doesnt want to join in but does anyway plus 2 others that I kinda forget about.
I want to read the Saviours, but I'm worried it'll be the same all over again

What a way to conclude this amazing duet!
Let me just start by applauding Ames Mills on yet another beautifully written book. I am always awestruck by her stories and the characters she creates, and am always able to immerse my self in the Abbs Valley world and engage the whole way through. She truly is an amazing author!!
If you're this far into the Abbs Valley series, then you know what to expect from Ames Mills.. well shes just gone and topped herself because THIS.WAS.EVERYTHING 👏👏
One of the things I love about this series and the way Ames writes, is the character growth. She knows how to develop these characters as time goes on. Not only the ones in the current story, but the ones from previous books that always pop back in.
The Heart of Psychos part two continues on from where we left off in part one.. with the most heartbreaking clifford ever 😭!! (IYKYK😑). We follow Bridget, Banger, Caden, Ghost, Alexey, Dmitri, and Nikolay as they navigate their way through the trauma and betrayal they were left with within their little family.
Caden had so much to overcome in this book, Ghost was struggling to find his worth and his place within their family, Dmitri pushed through his trauma of the past, Alexey had so much growth, learning to take a step back a little and forgive, My boy Banger shined brighter in this book and I was here for it 🥰, and Daddy Nik!! came out to play, and it was 🙌 chefs kiss 👌🥵.
This book was filled with all the feels! Drama, action, trauma, addiction, humour, love, twists and turns, major growth, and, of course, all the steamy smexy times we love!! The spice was hotter than an inferno.. and I was ready to get burned 🔥🔥🥵🥵
Everytime Ames puts something new out, I claim it as my favourite, and this is no different!! My love for tHOP is insane, and I've enjoyed every moment of it.
If you havent read this series than chop chop 👏👏 get to it!! You need to read it because its just.. everything 🥰🖤🖤
I'm so sad to say goodbye.. for now.. to Abbs Valley, but I'm soo excited to march onwards to The Saviors .. and you'll want it all!! 👶😋🍆🧎♀️ | 🧎♀️😋🍆🧸 | 🧸😋🍆👶 🔺️...😏😉😉

Oh my god, I just finished this series, and I by faaaaar have a new favorite author. I’ve never read a book let alone a whole series that portrays “why choose” this perfectly!
Riches to Riches: 1 FMC with 6 MMCs
All I Have: 1 FMC with 5 MMCs
The Heart of Psychos: 1 FMC with 6 MMCs
And best of all… all of the boyfriends are boyfriends! 😩
In the first duet, Les is such a badass mafia boss, and I love that her men never treat her like she’s less because of it—something you don’t see often enough with strong female leads.
In the second duet, Evie being a plus-size FMC was everything. I adored how her men absolutely worshiped the ground she walked on, and seeing her confidence and “bad bitch” energy shine through after years of not getting what she deserved was so empowering.
And then the third duet… the twins. Dear lord. I am on my knees. The deep-rooted trauma they carry from Victor broke my heart. This book really dives into family abuse and the lasting struggles that come from it, and it made me feel so deeply for the twins and Ghost.
⚠️⚠️ Possible spoiler alert! ⚠️⚠️
Ames Mills, it’s on sight. How could you do that to D and Caden?! I was literally SOBBING. 😭😭😭😭😭
One thing I’ll say about all the books: this author is a master at throwing in twists you never see coming, and the way they capture emotions and perspectives makes you truly feel everything right along with the characters.
And finally… thanks to this series, I will now be trying to convince my husband to let us get a boyfriend. (He said yes.) 🤭🤭

I would start by saying ladies and gentlemen buckle up for one of the best Ames Mills books so far, but let’s be real if you’ve read the Abbs Valley series up until this point you’re no lady or gentleman! Just make sure your battery operated friends are there to read along with you!
As usual check your trigger warnings but if you’re like me, you generally use that as a checklist to make sure this book is going to meet all of your smut needs! This whole series is amazing with spice, and plenty of sword fighting if you catch my drift! ⚔️ Plus we all love when dominant men get dominated 😉
Part 2 of Heart of Psychos is the best ending ( but maybe this isn’t the end?) for the Abbs Valley crew that has been building with each great story. After the cliff hanger in the Part 1 book we thought it couldn’t get worse. You know when you say “what else could go wrong?” And suddenly more goes wrong! That is exactly what happens to Bridget and her Men in this book!
I found myself screaming, crying, cheering, one handed reading 😏, and every emotion in between! I will forever love the storyline finishing up cleanly with resolutions and the characters continuing to evolve.
I will say Ghost is hands down my favorite of this RH as he shows so much growth and his story is heart breaking. However D, Lex, Nik, Caden, and Banger are all extremely swoon and drool worthy too! My only smutty wish missing from this book is that Banger participates in a sword fight in the near future!
Bridget is so awesome in this book and I’m glad to see her take on more of a bada** female character instead of a damsel in distress feeling! She loves her men and damn do they love her.
Five stars is never enough for an Ames Mills book but I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ !

So, book one ended on quite a cliffy (understatement of my life). Ames ripped our hearts out and spread it around all over Abbs Valley. Now, I love a good cliffhanger, but after my blood pressure came back down, I was demanding for it to be fixed. And while I was devastated and broken for a short period of time, Ames comes through, as she always does and brings us an epic conclusion to our time with Ghost, Bridget, Caden, Lex, Dmitri, Banger and Nik.
The Heart of Psychos pt 2 starts off right where we ended as we wait with our stomach in knots for news on our girl and boys. This second installment was everything I needed it to be and more. There is a compelling conclusion to the storyline, we feel all of the emotions as we heal, recover and ultimately seek revenge, we visit with old characters (here's looking at you Holden) and we get the smuttiest smut that only Ames can deliver.
Pretty quickly into the first part of this duet, I fell in love with this group of characters. And while I love all of my friends from Abbs Valley, these guys currently have my heart and this second half just put their ranking at number one into a solid position for a while.

Tremendo final para esta saga compuesta de tres bilogías (o duet, como los llaman ellos). El final de la historia de Bridget ha sido justo lo que esperaba con tremendo giro final que no esperábamos del todo aunque era una opción.
Sigue pareciéndome que los epílogos son tremendamente innecesarios, pero qué que las lectoras de románticas se mueren por las bodas y los niños así que igual tengo que dejar los libros antes de leerlos y punto. A mí me gusta saber que se han quedado felices, no necesito que me digan todo lo demás.
Me iría directa a por la saga de "The Saviors", pero voy a darme un poco de pausa con esta autora que luego pasa lo que pasa y me abrumo y se me quedan a medias los libros.
La recomiendo mucho, a pesar de que le vendría bien pasar por un corrector que le unificara tiempos verbales y pusiera o quitara algunas comas que hacen que las frases sean un poco extrañas. Mantengo mi fascinación con el narrador de los audiolibros (salvo cuando imposta voces femeninas).

I’m wobbling on my rating… likely bc I have loved the other books in this series.
This one felt off to me.
The connection between the (reverse) harem and how they met seemed piecemealed. It felt haphazardly put together… but… whatever… that’s how the lives of these characters works.
But FFS! The “baby love” and other subsequent cringeworthy nicknames/pet names were AWFUL!!! And you get that dumpster fire OFTEN in this book. It could be midway through a super hot sexy scene and “Baby Love” came out… and if I had a peen, I’d classify it as a ‘boner killer’. Womp womp!
That said, it was a good plot. The ending was WAY too fast.

I'm disappointed there was no bonus scene if the guys committing to each other. I'm also disappointed that we didn't get any actual Lex & Caden scenes. Especially with how hard Lex claimed Caden as his. I'm sad to say goodbye to all these characters. I hope she comes back with another novella with them 😭🩷

Different verse, same as the first.
I didn't love this duet and I'm big sad about it.
Essential context for the rest of this review: I accidentally started with this author on her 4th duet (The Saviors: Part One), which she *said* was the start of a new series, but I call bullshit. It is so heavily connected to this Abbs Valley series that it just barely stands on its own. Either way, I really enjoyed that duet and it made me want to read about all of the side characters, which is what I did. So, now we're here with the "finale" of the Abbs Valley series.
I loved The Saviors Duet when I read it, but I did see a lot of reviews that weren't overly positive and I was a little puzzled by that, but now I'm understanding. This author seems to only be writing one story multiple times, but with characters of different names. By that I mean all of her duets are exactly the same. At first it just felt formulaic, but it's not even that, which would be fine. It's that they are all THE. SAME. STORY. There's very little variation and we're definitely in one of those "too much of a good thing" situations now. I loved The Saviors because I thought it was different, but now I'm realizing it's just the only story that this author tells, so if I had been reading in order, I would've been annoyed.
But aside from that issue above, which is really too big of an issue to tackle here, let's talk about the other big issues in the specific duet.
One of those issues is that I didn't believe in the romance here. No one really seemed to fit together and I wasn't understanding the chemistry they all supposedly were having with each other. It was like she just really wanted these characters to be together because they fit her formula, so she was forcing them together. Which.. ok. But it wasn't working for me. Bridget's character in general didn't work for me. You could've literally plucked her out of the story and it would've been just fine. She added nothing. Even if you consider that the entire poly group was supposed to be based around her, she still could've been plucked out. I liked that she was sassy and unapologetically herself, but her relationship with each guy wasn't making any sense. There was NO chemistry and I don't understand.
We also have Ghost, Alexey, and Dmitri that were problems for me. These are characters that we really got to know in other duets but in this one they seemed like completely different people. Ghost especially was someone I barely recognized and his relationship with Nik was not something I was enjoying - Not because I don't enjoy reading that type of relationship, but because it didn't feel believable here. The characters were all just wildly inconsistent and I hated it. Also I just absolutely hated Les (from Riches to Riches) in this story, which pissed me off at the author. Ames Mills is just juggling too many characters and I feel like she's having a hard time keeping them all true to their original character and weave them into the stories.
The main conflict also frustrated me. There wasn't enough material here for the author to work with, so instead of fleshing out a better conflict and antagonist, she just added more sex scenes. I mean, all of the books in this series are spicy and have a lot of smut, but this book was particularly smut over plot. Maybe if I enjoyed this poly group more than I would've been cool with that, but I didn't, so I wasn't.
And good lord, if I have to read one more flippin' nickname I'm going to explode. This is something that I've mentioned in every review, because I really dislike it. We're having to juggle 15+ nicknames from different characters for different characters in every duet and it's so annoying. Also some of the nicknames make me cringe so hard. "Baby love"? STOP IT RIGHT NOW. No. If the nicknames made any sense, then I'd be fine with it, I'm not against a cute nickname, but these make no sense. They just exist to exist with no purpose.
So overall? I don't know. This almost felt rushed? And almost felt like Ames Mills was ready to move onto another series, but had to finish this one first so she did the bare minimum? I don't know and I'm disappointed because I was so looking forward to these specific characters. I truly did like The Saviors and I even liked Riches to Riches a lot, but then they just get boring after that because the author isn't doing anything new. It's one thing to be formulaic and another thing to write the same story multiple times. I'm 100% not writing this author off yet, because I do love pieces of her stories and her found family themes are so good. I just need her to write some variety in her stories.

I feel like there was still some grammatical errors etc in this book as some parts I had to re read to understand what was going on.
After that cliffhanger I really wanted there to be a lot of dramatics in this book, which we did get for the most part. The whole Tink situation was dramatic and I loved it. The twist with Gavin was great also. I was disappointed by Grants ending and felt it was a bit anti climactic after the whole of this duet was based around him and his threats.
I felt again this was eerily similar to the last 2 duets HOWEVER I am over the moon we finally got one RH where one of the guys didn’t suddenly join in with the other guys! Thank god for Banger!
I loved Caden and Bridget’s relationship before they all got together. They’re both goofy and talk shit and gossip. It was interesting seeing that he was bi curious but only for Bridget and the fact the other guys helped him out was adorable. It was also awesome to see the twins with Bridget again and Dimitri explaining how to properly do breath play with Alexey.
Still not feeling that they’re all psychos though as the title suggests, they just like to torture and fuck things up gangbanger style. I feel Les’ guys are my psycho than these guys.
The character growth for each character was great. Caden getting over his drug addiction a second time was handled really well.
I felt there was a repeat of the Zane/Ryder dynamic with Ghost/Nik which is clearly shows the author has found a pattern she likes and is sticking to it.
I suppose the only big glaring difference is Bridget could actually get pregnant unlike the other 2 but didn’t, maybe we will see this in a short novella for this group?
I’m actually excited for the Axel duet set in a new town but I’ll wait until both parts are out because I can’t deal with these cliffhangers and not immediately dive into the next book.
The smut once again was on another level and was super hot.
Edited to add - those cutesy nicknames actually made me feel a bit yucky. Baby love just didn’t do it for me and I just rolled my eyes every time I read it

good but
Whisk this was a good read. I felt it was kinda drawn out in some places and rushed in others. But I still like it. Only reason for the low rating was because of that ending. The emotional pain they caused Bridget was literally overlooked. Everybody knew the plan and they could’ve warned her instead of hurting her the way they did. And it’s not even mentioned just they did it and then they just moved on.

Bridget and her guys are so reverse harem goals. I love this book series and this is the end of the Abbs Valley stories! I love how they are all intertwined and the way she builds on each of her books. These are such a good read!! Love them
