As an avid reader, I usually don’t struggle this much with writing reviews but this book blew my mind in all of the best ways. Long story short–I utterly loved this book and no words will do it justice, but nevertheless I will still try!

Powerful, horrifying, superb, unputdownable—this book will haunt you, arouse you, and leave you begging for more. I was completely captivated from beginning to end. I’ve read a fair amount of dark romance books in the past, so I’m not unfamiliar with darker tones, and this book delivers everything I could ever want. The execution of the plot and character development will leave you flabbergasted, and so so very satisfied. Overall, I cannot say enough good things about Mine. It is everything I wanted it to be and more. Incredible job, Seven. This novel is truly amazing.

For the love of all things (un)holy, read this book!!!!

Less sees Tate on his show and is instantly attracted to him, but her friend Tyler says there is a dark side to Tate. She does some digging and will do anything to get to him and I mean anything. Tate is in a secret society that he was born into, and he sees a woman and knows he has to have her. Can Less get to Tate? Great characters and storyline Highly recommended Amazing Book This book literally had me from opening line until I was done. Read in one day couldn’t put it down. So many twist and turns. This is my first book by this author definitely not my last. Make sure to read Trigger Warnings there are a bunch in here

If you are wanting a book you can sort of read and not get sucked into, then this book isn’t for you. From the beginning I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen next. Less, the FMC, was the perfect amount of crazy stalker to get what she wanted. Tate, the one being stalked, leads us deep into this secret society that had me wanting more. The ending completely threw me for a loop in the best possible way. I can’t wait to find out what happens next.

My goodness! So this is not normally the type of book I would reach for but I’m so glad I did! I really enjoyed the character development, and the dual point of views was fun to see how they each thought. It also was giving me John Wick secret society vibes and I was here for it. Definitely look into the trigger warnings before you read while I didn’t feel anything was gratuitous it definitely won’t be for everyone. I. Cannot. Wait. For the next book!

I had the honor of having a copy pre release. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

4.5 stars!

I wasn't sure exactly what to expect but I loved this! Its fast paced, an intimate and dark romance and wild swings with the plot. I was on the edge of my seat that whole time.

I literally can't wait for book 2, the cliffhanger and ending has me begging for more!

Mine by Seven is book one in the Ace of Hearts Duet is the first book I’ve read by this author. Holy smokes, what a great book! I couldn’t put my kindle down, I was so invested in this story. The worldbuilding was phenomenally done and I was immediately drawn into the story. The pace/flow was incredible that I read the whole story cover to cover. I would suggest checking your trigger warnings just to be on the safe side.

The book had suspense, drama, mafia and secret societies! (I love a good secret society book) The spice was so well done as well. I really loved the characters and how they were written in this book. I enjoyed that Less was a female stalker. (You don’t see that very often) Oh my gosh, Tate! My heart pounded reading this book! My emotions were definitely on a rollercoaster reading this! I can’t wait to read the next book.
So well done!

Final review:
5 out of 5 stars

Tate, Morally gray and absolutely delicious.
Mine is an absolute rollercoaster ride, intense, and absolutely consuming....and that ending so glad I don't have to wait for bk2!

Phenomenal! I won this duet in one of my book clubs, and I couldn't wait to start reading it. Less and Tate's story is explosive and captivating. I couldn't put it down and finished it in one sitting. I highly recommend this book!

There are triggers in the book, so please check those first. If you can handle them, I promise you won't regret it. I can't wait to start the next book. 10/10 recommend!

Omg let's just say I was hooked from the prologue! Very well written. I would consider it a slow burn to the normal dark romance i usually read but was totally worth it. She had me wanting blade as much as tate! Less is one badass chick! I can't wait for the next one!
Check tw it may not be for everyone, but it was for me!

What a crazy ride! This book kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time!
It ends with you wanting more and having so many questions! It’s been awhile since I’ve had such a rollercoaster. I really liked the character development. And it’s hard to choose a fav chat character. (Blade is pretty close to my top though!)
Can’t wait to see what happens in book two!

All I have to say is “Death is easy but life is HARD”

I’m so obsessed with this book! A female stalker?!? She put herself out there for Tate!!! This book had me hooked from the very first page. I love getting both their POV’s and seeing them working in sync at the end. I wasn’t ready for the cliffhanger but I’m FREAKING OUT for next book.

A FMC that's a stalker??? That's completely new to me. I havent read a lot of books in the genre yet... however, in any genre I have yet to come across a plot such as this!!! It was sooooo good and I couldn't put it down. As soon as I finished I jumped into book #2😍 it has a great storyline and amazing characters! It completely hooked me 😍

I love the reverse of standardized roles - where in this Less (fmc) is the “stalker”. Hell or high water she is getting Tate. The spice level is mild in this one but the storyline and development keep you engaged. Secret society- check, spice -check, good storyline - check and cliffhanger - check

There are many morally wrong things happening in this book but if you can suspend judgement and just get into the emotion of the story well... I've already downloaded the second book because that ending - phew!

LOVE LOVE LOVE Seven’s style of writing. She makes it very easy to picture what’s going on and it's just easy to read. I read it in a few hours because I just could not put it down. From start to finish it was captivating. I loved how interesting every main character was. I absolutely loved Baldie 😂, Less, and Tate. Absolute masterpiece. I’ll be starting Yours immediately. I think I may have found my new favorite author

Less is literally crazy about Tate. He has no clue who she is, but she’s determined to make him crazy about her too. And I mean CRAZY. She intentionally puts herself in danger just to get close to him and his world. She gets herself put into a trafficking ring and is on a stalker-ish path for a guy she's literally NEVER met. She decides she wants him and that he will be hers. This girl is literally batshit crazy, but I like it. Who doesn’t love a girl who knows what she wants and will stop at nothing to get it?

Enter Tate Loren. He is a celebrity, but also in a secret society that involves some very dangerous things. He will stop at nothing to climb the hierarchy in the organization, as well as undermining his own superior, and even murdering without question. But once he sees Less, everything changes. He knew she was different from the moment he lays eyes on her. He starts breaking rules and trying to save her. They become obsessed with each other, as she planned. There is a lot of passion and danger, but will that lead to them being each other's demise?

Then there is Blade (Baldie). He is assigned to be Less’s guardian and they end up being friends. In very little time they open up to each other, which could put everything on the line, for both of them. I do not like Hiram so we’re just gonna skip over him. He’s not worth the time 😂. Now onto Babydoll. She’s in a relationship with Hiram and we know there’s something to uncover with that. And now Ian. He’s Tate’s right hand man and seems to be best friend. We don’t see much of him, but I so wish we did. He seems loyal, almost to a fault and I would LOVE a book for him.

*Check TW before reading*

I love this authors writing style. I am able to create a picture that flows and really dive into the story.

She is crazy about him. He’s like her own personal drug that she must attain. Less, is no normal woman, determined to become part of his life has her entering a whole new danger. She sold herself into a trafficking ring to get to him. She teeters on a stalker type personality for someone she has never even met. He will be hers. She’s feisty, she’s determined, and she’s crazy what a better combination? 🖤

Tate Loren, a celebrity designer and architect, also part of a huge secret dangerous society. He will do anything to climb the ladder, even undermining his own superior. Her. He sees her and so many things change in this story. He breaks the rules and, he finds himself in a lions den. Will he cross a line he can’t uncross? What lengths will he take to get who he wants? What will happen to him in the society?

These two are kind of obsessed with each other but it keeps for a very entertaining story of passion and danger. 🖤 Will their obsession lead to their downfall?

Side Character Love: Blade is amazing. He is Less’s protector and becomes a wonderful friend. In such a short time frame and with everything on the line he finds a way to really open up. Hiram, is the big bad “mini-boss” (iykyk) of the story. I’m not quite sure how to feel about him honestly. He’s big and bad, does horrible things but there has to be more under the surface I hope. Babydoll, also great character. We don’t see very much of her other than knowing her relationship with Hiram definitely has some secrets to unveil. Lastly, Ian is the right hand to Tate. He doesn’t have a huge face in this story, but he seems so loyal and I just want good things for him.

I hope these characters are able to get bigger roles in future novels or their own side stories. ❤️

I really enjoyed the cliffhanger! It actually left me on the edge of what the heck happened and what is next? So many unanswered questions that boggle my mind for Novel #2!!

✨ARC review
Thank you to the author 𝗦𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 for this advanced copy of 𝑴𝒊𝒏𝒆 in exchange for an honest review!

Less is not your typical rich girl, she may come from money but the girl isn’t afraid to get her hands or morals dirty for what she wants - and what she wants is Tate Loren. He’s famous, an amazing architect but he’s also a Boneman in the mysterious Order. What would you do for love? For Less, the question is what wouldn’t she do for love- maybe that’s because it’s not just love- it’s obsession. And Tate might just find out how far this beautiful girl is willing to go for it

I enjoyed this book a lot! I love morally grey characters-which our MCs definitely are & the secondary character Blade was also my favorite! Violence & love are perfectly mixed in this dark romance, the ending was shocking!! Cannot wait for book 2 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔

𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀- tough & determined, you don’t want to be an enemy in her eyes because she’s not afraid to take you out however she’ll also protect those she cares for with all she has. Less is the perfect amount of unhinged that you’ll love this character!
𝗧𝗮𝘁𝗲- a man who clearly has some darkness in him, he doesn’t say much yet his eyes can tell you enough. He’s fearless, not to be messed with but a man you’ll want all the same!

This book sucked me in from the beginning, it’s dark, haunting, suspenseful, hot- you don’t know what’s going to happen next. It felt slow in parts then would pick back up with lots of action. There’s so much mystery about the main characters & The Order itself it felt almost frustrating at times but it’s also what kept me hooked, I had to know more!

This book was 4⭐️ - it’s very dark (check triggers warnings page the author so kindly added). I would recommend to my fellow dark romance readers who like more suspense with their romance & spice (though the few spice scenes were 🔥🥵)

𝑴𝒊𝒏𝒆 is out June 11th 2023 so go pre-order your copy now!!

Seven, Seven, Seven, thank you for the wild ride, I enjoyed every single moment of it. I have said it before, but I’ll say it again, you are absolutely incredible!

“Mine”, is an amazing read, full of all the dark romance my heart desires!

If you are a fan of “Haunting/Hunting Adeline”, you will love” Mine”.

Seven’s writing style and ability to pluck you right out of your ordinary life, and drop you right into the world created in their books is phenomenal. I have loved reading every single one of Seven’s books and I look forward to the many more to come.

When you hop into Mine, you will physically be sucked in and will not want to put it down. Less is a total bada** and the confidence she radiates is inspiring. She knows what she wants and she goes for it. No matter the cost. I absolutely love a strong female character, especially when the male (or female) of her desire is just as equal. And, Tate! He has seen it all, dealt in it all, but when he sees Less, he knows exactly that he wants to make her his. When he said “she is mine”, I felt it in my soul! I am thrilled and cannot wait for “Yours”, I need to continue this ride and see where Less and Tate’s story leads.

“Mine” is an action packed, cat and mouse, dark romance that will have you gripping the edge of your seat from page one. When the last page arrives it will leave you desperate for more.

I love a good stalker book just as much as the next girl, but throw in it being a FMC stalker, I’m hooked!

I absolutely loved the authors writing style. Seven did an amazing job. It was so captivating, and I painted a full visual in my head of all that was happening within the book.
Less is the FMC and she takes stalking to a whole new level. For one, I loved that it was a female stalking that alone made this dark romance even better. I think she takes it to a whole other place by selling herself into the sex trafficking ring just to be around him. She’s obsessed and I love it.
Tate has been within the secret Society since he was a kid and I love that he is such a rule follower but starts breaking the rules because of her. This dark romance is amazing. The characters have this crazy obsessed passion for each other that it’s hard to put this book down. I personally thought this book was amazing. It blew me away the ending threw me for a loop and I cannot wait to read the next book. I love the spice and let’s admitted it can’t be a dark romance without the perfect amount of spice.

I’ve always love a good dark stalker read but to see a FMC as the stalker made me love this even more. Less is our FMC and she’s a total badass who goes for what she wants no matter what is standing in her way and who she wants is Tate. Less is a whole different type of crazy and I’m so down with it. Tate is our MMC and he’s a well known architect but is also in a dark secret society that we are not ready to learn about. It’s beyond intense.
I was drawn in from page 1 all the way into the end. This does leave off a cliffhanger and a huge twist that nobody was expecting so get ready to be wrecked because my heart is aching but it leaves me wanting more and I can’t wait for book 2!
The 🌶️ scenes were fire once they actually get going. I’ll be going insane while waiting on the next book now 🙃😩

Overall Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I CANT STOP THINKING ABOUT THIS BOOK.

It has me in a chokehold.

First off, the FMC Less is completely determined to claim Tate as hers and she’ll do anything to get him. Her determination is other worldly. The lengths that she goes to make him hers I could never. Secondly, SHE is the stalker? I have come across very few books where the FEMALE is the one doing the stalking.

And then there’s the spicy scenes 👀 there’s just a few but 🥵

Also I don’t think I’ve ever said so many expletives while reading for how short this book is. Secret society, suspense, allies on the inside. And the twists and the ending?

I simply cannot wait for book two. It cannot get here fast enough.

Special thank you to Seven for allowing me on the Arc team and getting me a copy of this wonderfully dark book.

If you like dark romance you will LOVE this book! Seven has outdone themselves. My girl Less is straight up cray cray but I actually really love it.!


Top tier writing as always and all of my favorite components of a book! Please make sure to check for triggers!


Blurb- They say love is blind. That you can't help it; the heart wants what it wants. That even in the throes of life, love will prevail. Tate Loren. Everyone wants him. He's part of the elite. I'm rich. He's famous. I'm crazy enough to test those theories but on my own terms, even if I have to take desperate measures. Tate Loren will be mine, no matter what that costs.

Oh. My. God.

What a book. This had me hooked from the get-go. Less was a perfect FMC, a wee bit psycho (but so hot 🥵). We follow Less and Tate in their own POVS, watching Less’s plan unfold. There were a few spicy scenes but written incredibly. Real shame there were only a few 😉

There were so many twists and all unexpected. The ending - there were quite a few ‘wtf’s thrown out there. A bombshell and a cliffhanger, I need to know what happens next, and I cannot wait to read the next one.

This was an incredibly quick read, and I’m so grateful to Seven to have received a copy in return for an honest review. I genuinely enjoyed it so much, and I’m quite mad it’s over and I have to wait for the next one.

Highly recommend, 10/10

This was a very different book than what I previously read from this author! I received an ARC of this book.

I’ve arc reviewed for this author before and I am always a big fan of her scene building. Seven is great at being descriptive to help the reader imagine the scene and characters which adds a lot to the story and character building. I knew coming into this book, it wouldn’t be like others I have read from her. I commend the author for stepping out of her usual fantasy comfort zone. I think anyone who is a fan of H.D Carlton will really enjoy this book with the spice, building, and story. Personally, not exactly my cup of tea but I was very happy to review this story and writing from Seven!

I’m always impressed with her descriptions and building.

I've been in somewhat of a book slump all year, and this pulled me out.
I couldn't put it down. Less is amazing and I found myself liking her from the very first page. She wants Tate and will stop at nothing to have him. Tate is morally gray, and I loved it.
While there were multiple spicy scenes, and they were 🥵, I love spice and would’ve loved more.
I read this a lot faster than I thought I would since I’ve been struggling with finding something I love this year, but I loved every second of this. It does end on a cliff-hanger, so beware of that when reading, but it made me very excited for the next book.
I'm very impatiently waiting for book 2 now.
