I was lucky enough to get an ARC release, and I couldn't be happier that this was my first, as I could not put it down and read it in one sitting! Thank you again for this opportunity.
Amethyst is firey, street smart, and a bad a$$. I love how we see her growth throughout this book, and I can't wait to get to see more of her.
I'm not usually one for insta love, but Myles is just such a sweetheart, and Sebby, oh my heart breaks for him for a lot of this book!
I'm sure I'm not the only one to say Carter has a lot of explaining to do, and I'm sure Maddison will write him brilliantly!
This book has:
Great plot
Spice
M/M
Billionaires
Con-Artists
I can't wait to see where the next book takes us!

This is my honest review of Wreckin Amethyst by Maddison Cole.
FYI there are plenty of book quotes in this review and there may be some minor spoilers. Also i had A LOT of thoughts about this book so .... long review, but these characters stayed on my mind which always tells me we've had a good ride.
~ Delving this deep beneath the Amethyst persona is dangerous
There are plenty of things to like about this book including a gutsy main character and plenty of potential for future adventures. I did experience inconsistencies that were immersion breaking for me; characters traits or actions not really matching their background or unrealistic things occurring to move the plot along. The book still delivers an entertaining read, especially for fans of Maddison Cole and the Candy Universe.
Amethyst
~ They’re personas. I’m a con-woman, not schizophrenic.
Amethyst is a practiced scam artist with a boat load of trauma. Out here faking it it ’til she makes it, she’s quirky,
~ I know a guy who can have a barrel of acid here in two hours.
She’s curvy,
~ Thats what a life of cheesecake for breakfast and giving no fucks gets you.
And she’s laser focused on her goal to destroy the rich men that took everything from her. In the process Amethyst is hellbent on serving sweet vengeance to those who don’t deserve what they have,
~ theres no version of this world where I’m giving some rich boy another amenity from his never-ending wish list. In fact, withholding it from him might just be the most amount of satisfaction I’ve ever felt.
There is a lot to like about feisty, confident Amethyst. Her train of thought is entertaining and her backstory does go some way to explaining why she is such a chaos magnet. Like many of the other characters however she swings wildly between extremes that make certain relationships and scenarios more convenient than natural progression. Amethyst escalates pretty steeply from singular hatred for the elite circles Myles and his friends run in…
~ Shrouded in blood shed, coated in revenge, they will know my face and fear my name.
…to being utterly besotted with more than one of them,
~ A pledge created by our bond. A vow cemented by our love.
Charley
Charley is a friend and somewhat protege to Amethyst. She is sweet and loyal but honestly, beyond that she is a bit of a nothing character. Particularly once Amethyst gets to the mansion Charley’s role is almost totally redundant and she is essentially written into storage. I don’t think she adds anything to this story, yet, although there is potential in future instalments for Charley to come into her own more.
Myles
~ Myles Hudson, the reformed sex addict who will no doubt strike again.
Myles is intense, tortured you might say,
~ There are many ways I’ve described my soul in the past. At peace, is not one of them.
A convicted offender and pampered billionaire, Myles becomes obsessed with Amethyst, relentlessly pursuing her across the city after an encounter at his jewellery store, with the intention to take her back to his mansion pretty much captive. Initially, Myles acts a little unhinged and crosses a bunch of lines whilst arguing with himself about not crossing any lines. However, as the book progresses, we learn more about his difficult past, which adds depth to his character, though it left me with questions about why his trauma informed early behaviours switched suddenly. Myles then quickly becomes highly deferential to Amethyst and appears submissive in a way that I found to be more saccharine than sexy. His apparent insecurity is inconsistent with his profile as a spoiled rich man. Myles gets points for being deeply thoughtful and supportive for most of the book as well as a good partner for Amethyst. I just wish it could have felt a little more cohesive.
~ I don't want you to belong to me, but I’ll do whatever it takes to be yours.
Carter
~ I know all about the stray you brought home. Caught her robbing your own jewellery store and thought - theres some wife material.
Carter is the grumpy, efficient childhood friend of Myles and fellow billionaire. Following the trial, he assumed the responsibility of overseeing Myles’ lifestyle and continues to rule over his friends life even now they are adults.
~ Its just the whole big bad gangster routine when I’ve just realised, you’re no more than a glorified PA.
Myles has an inexplicable, iron clad loyalty to Carter, despite their dynamics seeming like a whole-ass red flag, but I really struggled to find anything redeeming about him. We don’t learn too much about him, what we do know relates almost entirely to his devotion to Myles, and his extreme capability in his role however Amethyst is largely unimpressed by these traits:
~ Carter uses the same passwords as he does on the work computers
As well as this, his behaviour towards Amethyst fails to soften at all despite the declarations of Myles’ feelings. There isn’t much important dialogue between the men at all, considering that are lifelong friends. Carter acts well as a catalyst for a rebellious Amethyst but in the scope of Myles being the most important person in his world, its hard to believe that such little effort is made to either reconcile or remove her. I feel that subtle inconsistency of character makes it hard for me to form a relatable connection with Carter.
Sebby
Sebby is miserably in love with Myles, who reciprocates physically but will never be the one and only that Sebby pines for.
~ Does Myles know you’re in love with him?
He is soft and has a lot of feminine qualities, while I appreciate that about him I felt like most of his identity revolved around his sexuality and he mostly made a focused appearance in the story before a steamy scene.
~ “Don’t hurt him,” Sebby’s breath fans my back. "He suffers enough."
Sebby and Amethyst are able to establish a strong friendship as the story progresses and this did go some way towards giving Sebby a bit of depth outside of his Myles obsession, which I felt bordered on a little creepy in places. I preferred him after the confidence that Amethyst helped to bring out, which felt a bit more in line with his status as a billionaire and life long friend. As with the other billionaires, I couldn’t reconcile his extreme lack of confidence in his true self with the experiences he must have had to reach his current status.
~ Sebby only smirks, a rarity for his wounded-puppy vibe
Sebby, Myles and Amethyst enjoy some steamy scenes together, which were some of the best spice in the book. The spice in general was used sparingly but the scenes we do get are immersive and interesting. The MMF dynamic was a unexpected twist on the ‘why choose’ tagline, with Amethyst choosing to share Myles with others. It challenged my initial expectations of this genre and I am pleasantly surprised.
Owen
Owen has expensive tastes, he collects rolexes and custom trainers and forms an instant bond with Amethyst’s dog.
~ Owen decided his Rolex collection needed company.
Actually its difficult to think of Owen without also thinking of Pig as the pair of them become immediately inseparable. Owen doesn’t get much airtime in this book, so neither does this relationship but its clear that they are off living their own story. I hope that when we get to see more of Owen in subsequent books that his relationship with Pig is more than him continually finding other characters to take her away.
~ She’s with Owen, lounging by the pool
Pig
~ The blue and white English Bulldog is my one true love
Pig, Piggy, Miss Piggington almost has more nicknames than babysitters. She is a bit of an emotional support animal for our traumatised main character. Piggy’s endearing antics are quite entertaining yet her comedic potential seems under-utilised as she becomes more of a device to remind us of Charley or Owens existence.
~ Scooping up Pig along the way, I place the pup in Charley’s giant handbag
Whatever you think of the first instalment of this series, i am certain that Amethyst, Myles and the others are are bound for much more identity bending, luxury lifestyle and relationship chaos. A little more time spent with most of these characters will no doubt close a lot of the threads that still feel open. I think that the author has a long way to go to turn around some of the relationships if they are going to become believable potential love interests for Amethyst aswell, but I look forward to seeing them develop. The possibilities are almost endless.
~ Wherever you are turns into an adventure. And adventure is what my life is sorely lacking.

I couldn't decide on a 3 or 4 star for this one but in the end went with a 4. I enjoyed the story, Amethyst has been through a lot, some of which we don't find out in this book I think. We see her opening up to Myles and Sebby and watching the relationships develop was nice. I liked how Myles had insta-love/lust with Amethyst but she made him work for it. The scenes with Myles and Amethyst were well written and a good amount of spice 😋 I'm really interested to find out who ends up in the harem!
I honestly can't stand Carter and if he's going to end up in the harem then he will have loads of grovelling to do! We didn't find out much about Owen so hoping he gets more page time in future books.
I did enjoy the book and will definitely be picking up the next one to see where the story goes.
This book does include m/m scenes so if that's not your thing then it's maybe not for you.
I received an ARC of this book and am leaving this review voluntarily.

Genre: Billionaire RH
Spice: 🥵 yes
Series: Billionaire BadBoys, book 1
Thoughts - I really freakin loved Amethyst MFC! She’s confident, unapologetic, determined, smart and oozes sexuality. Their world gave me supervillain vibes, and the men were all so incredibly different which I love in a harem. He’s not the focus in this book but I’m keeping my eyes on Owen. Special mention to the wrecking ball, it really sets the tone for amethysts dark humour. And also Pig, the most beautiful dog in her outfits. The blossoming of Sebby was a joy to read as well as him finding his HEA. Also Myles MMC is first described as in a suit with tattooed knuckles… SAY LESS! Definitely recommend if you’re after a dark humorous read where the MFC is a confident queen who does not need a man to save her!
Plot - Amethyst is trying to uncover her mothers killer, but there’s nothing that says she can’t have fun on the way. So after becoming the master of the Con, she finds her self in a sticky situation when she accidentally steals from four hunky, tattooed covered business men. There’s never been a situation she can’t get herself out of so just how far are the men willing to get her.
* Determined MFC
* Secrets and mystery
* Forced proximity
* MF, MM, MFM
* Dark themes
* Dark humour

Disclaimer: I got this book for free on Kindle. I participated in stuff your kindle day where I got a bunch of romance books for free, roughly 2,000 books. I normally do not read romance books but I wanted to try the genre. I typically read fantasy, science fiction, biographies, and classics so this is way out of my comfort zone. My plan is to draw a book at random without reading the summary, title, and avoiding looking at the cover. As long as the book is not too graphic for me or leads into something uncomfortable, I will be attempting to finish as many of these books as I can in 2024. I understand that many of these books will likely not be top tier but I am hoping that I can learn something about the romance genre as a whole and figure out if any types of books in this genre are for me.
My Review: This book interested me at first. Girl has a rough childhood. Decides to take revenge on who she believes wronged her. She learns how to be a great thief, good at manipulation, good at defending herself and killing others who get in her way. At this point, I felt like I could see this book as a fantasy adjacent as many fantasy books run something similar. Enter bratting sex crazed billionaire and the plot gets lost. She hates him but is attracted to him. He is obsessed with her for no reason really. To make things worse, he also has a gay partner. I can say for certain I don't like polygamy in books now. At least I learned that.

I was really looking forward to reading this book as i'm a big "why choose" fan but I was definitely disappointed as that's not what this first book was at all. I'm hoping that the next instalment will explore that genre a bit more but besides that I really enjoyed the book. I absolutely LOVE Amethyst she's a total bad ass babe. I love her confidence and her passion. I wasn't sure what to think about Myles at first but wow is he someone special. I'm always a fan of a "he falls first" and his determination in winning over Amethyst is emotion invoking. I read this book in one sitting, unable to take a break in witnessing the healing and finding themselves journey Myles and Amethyst were on. As well as Sebby, it was beautiful to watch his confidence and happiness grow. I'm interested to see where Owen fits in the next instalment and to see if Carter redeems himself in any way.
The story line is intriguing with some intense moments. We were introduced to Candy at one point in the book and I discovered this is another book series of Miss Coles and I'm definitely diving into that series asap!
Thanks to the author for an ARC in exchange for an honest review, definitely can't wait for Book 2.

I received an arc read, and will always give an honest review. It took a while for me to read because I've been distracted lol.
Ill be honest i had a hard time getting into this book at first, but still the FMC and they guys drew me in. The fmc is a woman who has been hurt in the past and because of that she presents a wall or fake image to people. Like she's aloof or doesn't care about anyone when that isn't the case. She kinda fascinated me because I didn't love her right away, at first I got the feeling like she's not like other girls but the more I read the more I realized that's her trauma presenting. But I still didn't like how she treated Myles when he did nothing to deserve her treatment, he just wanted to by her side and she kinda blew him off all the time. So I'm feeling nuance, because this fmc isn't a character that I love, I think she's a character you grow to love.
Sebby was a character who surprised me, and i really liked and want to see more of. Also Carter (f asshole) and Owen are just as interesting. I will probably definitely read the next book because I want to see character development and to see the continued story. The ending was super exciting!!

This is book 1 in the new Billionaire Badboys series, and is part of the Candy Crystal world... so if you've read the I Love Candy series then you'll enjoy the crossover chapter with Candy and her guys.
I loved this book. Amethyst is everything I love in a heroine. She's feisty, independent, incredibly smart, tenacious, has a massive heart that she keeps locked away etc. And she doesn't give a shit about money/wealth. I just love her.
I loved seeing how she warmed up & opened up to Miles throughout the story, and the massive impact she had on Sebby's life too!
I'm looking forward to learning more about Owen further on in the series, as I feel like I like him but will love him once I get to know him more.
I wanna punch Carter in the face. He's a total dick... which means he's probably gonna have the biggest character arc and end up one of my faves by the end of the series.
Overall I definitely recommend giving this a read and I can't wait for the rest of the series!

This book was a lot of fun and a great start to the series!
Amethyst has lived many different lives and personas, all while trying to find the ones responsible for her mother’s death years ago. While making a rather spectacular escape from yet another one of her many cons, she finds herself smack-dab in the middle of four billionaires, who also happen to be the owners of the jewelry store she just ran out of. It’s Insta-attraction for Myles, one of the four owners, who insists on keeping Amethyst close.
I don’t want to give anything away, so I don’t want to say much more about the storyline, but I will say I did enjoy it and loved getting to know these characters! As for the guys in this series, this book mainly focused on Myles and a little bit on Sebby, but I know Owen’s and Carter’s stories will surely come and I’m excited for them all!
I can’t wait to see what comes next for Amethyst and the guys and am already looking forward to Unravelin’ Amethyst whenever it releases!
Amethyst has lived many different lives and personas, all while trying to find the ones responsible for her mother’s death years ago. While making a rather spectacular escape from yet another one of her many cons, she finds herself smack-dab in the middle of four billionaires, who also happen to be the owners of the jewelry store she just ran out of. It’s Insta-attraction for Myles, one of the four owners, who insists on keeping Amethyst close.

I really enjoyed this book, and I'm really excited to see what happens in book 2.
This book tells the story of Amethyst. She has had a really terrible past that has shaped her into the person she is today. This book focuses on her relationship with Myles and Sebby ( I hope we see Sebby and Amethyst build their relationship) as well as amethyst letting go a little and accepting help from her loved ones to get revenge and seek justice.
My least favourite character in this story so far is Carter. He has a lot of grovelling to do if he eventually ends up with Amethyst???
I also loved that Candy and some of her men made a guest appearance in the book 🩷
This is a why choose where Amethyst doesn't have to choose between her men.
- spicy scenes
- m/m content
- insta love
- cute puppy
Thank you so much to Maddison for the opportunity to ARC read for her.

Stripper and con-artist on a mission - Amethyst (FMC) has a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants, don't give a flying fig attitude but underneath all of that wildness is a sharp-minded, smart woman who has a heart of gold even if she is light-fingered, lol. Only for during a job to land (quite literally!) in the hands of rich guys - Myles, Sebby, Owen & Carter. Amethyst's banter with all of them had me cracking up especially with Carter (who needed a good slap!). Omg I was dying laughing at the interview part of the book. It was so bloody funny. Amongst all of that was a brilliantly twisting plot twist that tied into Amethyst's story greatly. I cant praise this start to this series up enough and Ill be on tenterhooks until the next book now.

I smashed through this book so quickly it wasn't funny.
I love amethyst! She's strong, fiercly independent, stubborn and despite a tough exterior, she does show a softer side as well with charley, seb and Myles.
Seb and Myles are great characters and I love how different they are to each other.
Carter.. I absolutely hate Carter. I'm really hoping he doesn't end up in the harem because he just seems horrible. However, who knows, their could be one hell of a character arc.
We also really don't know anything about Owen yet so I hope he's bought into the next book more!
Cannot wait for the 2nd book in this series as I have so many questions!!

Wow, just wow. So this book is like a murder mystery, reverse harem, billionaire, and love story all wrapped up in one book. It makes you think who is doing what, it makes you say " no, not him", it makes you say " oh for the love of hades why did you do that". So when a book can make u say all those in one book, it's worth the read and worth the buy. The author sure knows how to keep your interest with this book!

This book honestly had me in stitches!
Wreckin Amethyst is brilliant, riveting read that will have you crying with laughter in places. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know about Amethyst and her backstory. Maddison Cole has once again done a fantastic job and created a story that draws you in and and has you absorbed amongst the pages, eageryly following along and forgetting that you got washing out the machine and it needs hanging.
I can't wait for the next book!

This is my jam! Hate waiting for the next book but im sure I'll survive 😂
Amethyst is a strong bass@$$ bi@tch female lead and while attempting to uncover her mothers k1ller she manages to peeve off and seduce a group of hot tatood business men.
As with most RH series she hasn't tied down the whole harem in book 1 which yeah, that can be a lot frustrating BUT means we know there's even more 🌶🌶 to come!!
🌶🌶🌶/🌶
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/⭐️

what a con artist!
I loved the intricacies that is Amethyst! She is spunky, confident, jaded and ready to fight for what she believes is right. A modern day Robin Hood. The RH is slight exaggerated for this book, it’s more a FMM. I am intrigued to learn more about Owen and Carter in the next books. I feel like there is a good amount of intrigue about these 2 that the series will eventually be RH.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Genre: Billionaire RH
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Series: Billionaire Bad Boys, Book 1
Thoughts -Amethyst is a kick butt FMC! She has a sense of humor, dark side, major confidence, and oozes sex appeal! The four men remind me of the four horsemen, though I’d happily find a replacement for Carter, that man has serious groveling to do and issues to get over! Sebby is just sweet cinnamon roll, Owen hides behind his “sex appeal” and charm, but the way he cares for Pig 😍 Needless to say, book 2 cannot come soon enough!
Plot - Amethyst has had one goal in life for as long as she can remember, make the person who killed her mother pay..dearly. To do that she con’s the rich out of their money using her looks as a cover for how smart she really is. Mid con she meets four sexy, dark men in a limo. These men chase her down and become the rod to help her find the one who took her mother.

Wow, this book. This was such an amazing read that it grabbed me from the very beginning and would not let me put it down. It moves along at a pace that is the perfect speed for this story. You will love these characters and the stuations that they find themselves in will have you laughing. This book is a must read that needs to be at the top of your TBR list, no doubt about it.

compelling but needs proof reading
Fun romance. Loved the characters, the story, and especially the puppy, but while the writing was overall good, there are a bunch of instances where the autocorrect was too enthusiastic and never corrected, so the resulting sentence is gibberish, throwing me out of the story while I try to figure out what was meant.
Otherwise, excellent.

Amethysts story is such a sad one. My heart broke to know what all happened and what she's gone through. Then she finds Myles, Seb, Carter, and Owen when she robs Myles' jewelry store. And what a ride it's been so far! I can't wait for the second book!

This story isn't why choose, at least not book 1, this starts out slow but the story is incredible. It's a slow burn with the ending heating up into a MFM situation heading into book 2. Prepare yourself for an epic story, low spice but know that book 2 turns up the heat.

What a saucy tale. I loved the main character Amethyst who is a strong woman who knows what she wants. This was a fun book with a great storyline that I’m looking forward to reading in the next books.

I really liked Amethyst. She’s a great strong character and the men she gets tangled together with make for an even more interesting story. I’m excited to see what happens with all of them in the next one

Whilst I enjoyed the book some of the unanswered questions left me a little disappointed but onwards to the next book 😊🤣
I’m a fan of why choose but this didn’t really feel like that. I love how badass and ballsy Amethyst is, completely unconventional.
If your a fan of RH but not MM then you could still read the book and skip those parts.
