Rate this book
Emerson has been through more trauma in her young life than anyone should ever have to. After enduring the horrors of domestic violence and dealing with a relentless stalker, she thought nothing could possibly be worse. That is until her own parents were tragically murdered, leaving her utterly alone in the world.
Feeling lost and broken, she agrees with her brother that she needs to get away from it all and takes a little vacation to try to heal. Little did she know that her trip would lead her to be locked away with the four most forbidden men she was always warned to stay away from.
But as she begins to fall for each of them, she realizes that they all come with their own dangerous secrets and pasts, something she finds them bonding over.
With her own trauma still fresh in her mind, Emerson must navigate the minefield of her own emotions and the forbidden love she feels for these men, each one bringing something new into her life that she can't walk away from.
Can she find healing and love in the arms of the men who make her feel alive, or will her past continue to haunt her and tear her apart, drowning her in her own misery?

There was a lot of plot holes in my opinion. I felt like I was reading something off wattpad. Although this was probably other people’s cup of tea it wasn’t mine.

Sadly I do not have the ability to DNF, & I wish I did. But that means I finished this book in a day. I feel one of the issues I had, was this is labeled at dark romance. It should be labeled as erotica. There wasn’t a lot of darkness to it, some darkness tones? Yes. But not everything to the point it should have been labeled as dark romance. This is Erotica. 😂

The character development throughout the whole book needed some work. I’ll leave it at that.

One of the MMC’s called the FMC “little one” every time he spoke. This man was 42 & he was just constantly angry lol.

My BIGGEST issue, & this is huge TO ME, was the fact there was so so many helmet inaccuracies. As someone that wears a helmet everyday I can 100% promise you a lot of these helmet scenes literally are not possible. It’s creating false fantasies to these girls that are obsessed with bikers tbh.

I am reading romance, NOT fantasy. There is a reason I do not read fantasy, & if I have to “have imagination” I automatically am going to assume that the person has never wore a helmet & doesn’t understand how they work.

I am ALL FOR SPICE!! I want to make that extremely known, I love spice as much as the next person. Fucking on every page? Cool! But there has got to be a good plot to the story as well and I feel like this book was lacking in that.

There was never any actual “help” or anything of the sort for the FMC, all these men would just say “I’m here for you” I feel like that could have been handled better in my opinion as well.

There were just so many cringy scenes. I’m not going to Yuck someone’s yum, it just wasn’t for me

I had HIGH expectations for this book because all the teasers that were released sounds exactly up my alley, but I had to stop so many times and say the scene out loud to my husband and be like does this sound possible to you? And he literally laughed and was like no. We both said so many times “nah dude, that ain’t it😂”

BUT THIS IS ALL MY OPINION SO DO NOT COME FOR MY THROAT.

If you want a book that’s completely sex & smut, hardly no plot. Then this book is for you!!!! 👏🏻

K.M. Rogness is one of my favorites.This is the third book I've read by her, and she never disappoints. I love her writing style and how relatable her characters are. I loved the female character Emerson, I think she was amazing! I felt really attached and connected to Kane and Seven. They both had my heart since the beginning. If you are looking for a hot spicy book to read for the summer, I highly recommend you read drowning!

If you can’t tell by the lengthy list of trigger warnings, this book was an EXPERIENCE.😅

It is definitely the spiciest book I have read since getting into the dark romance genre and it is SPICY!🥵

I do feel like the plot suffers a little from the amount of spice in the beginning of the book, but the real action and drama that comes towards the end of the story made up for the shaky start, at least in my opinion.🥀

It is definitely not going to be a book for everyone, CHECK YOUR TRIGGERS! And then check them again for this one.☠️

Overall, I enjoyed the story and the spice. It was not as dark as I thought it was going to be, but I’m excited to read more of Rogness’ work. Breaking Boston is already on my kindle and I love some unhinged reading.🖤

This was my first book by KM Rogness and let me just star by saying holy hełł 🥵

I’m a whøre for a good why choose and the fact this one was so spicy and mouth watering was the cherry on top!

Emerson had to deal with some rough things in Iife: parents dying, her (now) ex boyfriend being a piece of sh!t, and a stalker. Despite all of life’s efforts to try and take her out of this world, Emerson found herself the jackpot of men — Forbidden? Yes. “Not considered safe” absolutely.

These four men not only protect what’s theirs (HOTNESS) but they each bring something extra to Emerson that not only helps her survive, but helps her heal🖤

Spice? 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5

Plot? Ugh the character development between eachother, and each individual is done SO well!

Spice heavy and fast paced, Drowning is a dark reverse harem, forbidden biker romance that just sweeps you off your feet and takes you away. If your looking for spice you've come to the right place! KM Rogness is notorious for her dark and smutty novels and Drowning did not disappoint! If you're a fan of badass biker boys and a sassy FMC you'll love this book. Emerson and her delicious South Side Biker men are so hot, so sweet, and hard to resist.

It started off good, then I’m not sure if it was me who started losing the plot but I found myself jumping from 51% back to 40 something% thinking I’d misread names or didn’t understand the conversation the FMC had with one of the MCs. Then there were parts again that didn’t fit with the storyline, and I had to re-read, again it could be my misinterpretation.

The book overall is as someone else pointed out very much smut throughout, not a problem for me, though I did struggle with using it as a coping mechanism, that’s definitely a me thing. The guys seemed ok but I didn’t get all the feels. I’m going to say this one wasn’t for me but I did finish it.

This was one SPICY book yall!🥵 The spice in this was top tier. However, the book itself fell a little flat for me. I feel like it was a little longer than it really needed to be and Emerson (our FMC) did get on my nerves a little bit. All that to say, I still did enjoy this one! It was def fun and pretty fast paced. And the guys?! Whew 😮‍💨⁣

This story follows Emerson who has been through hell and back. And the men in her life trying to help her and bring her back to life. ⁣

We have Seven (my favorite), Daddy Kane, Ace and Stone. The chemistry between them all was def there and I enjoyed it! ⁣

This was my first book by this arthur and won't be my last. I loved all these characters and this story literally sucked me in from the start and I'd been trying hard not to read the teasers and believe me that was hard to do, because just from the blurb I knew I wanted to read it, and go in blind to experience all the thing's.

I'm so glad I did as the book played out you felt everything that Emerson was going through and she went through some things that were drowning her, but she found out that through the help of Kane, Seven, Stone and Ace that things could be a little better, but then her past wouldn't stay away.

If you like those dark, whychoose, gritty, morally gray book's then you need to check out this book.

I love discovering new authors and becoming obsessed with their writing from the get go😍!!

This was my first read by Kasey - and was not disappointed.

Emerson our badass biker FMC - she has gone through so much. She lost her parents ends up in an abusive relationship. However, when her 4 men YES 4 (Kane,Ace,Seven, and Stone) help her find a way to deal with her trauma and find herself again.

The story line, characters development, the suspense, oh and the spice - this book had me in a chokehold.

Before reading it make sure you check the trigger warnings!!

If you’re look for a deliciously spicy, biker gang dark forbidden why choose romance - pick drowning up as your next read 💙!!

Thank you Kasey for the eARC 🫶🏾

•Synopsis•
Darkness. Death. Temptation. Forbidden.
Four words to perfectly describe Emerson Cole.
After enduring an abusive boyfriend, the death of her parents, and a relentless, unhinged stalker, Emerson feels like she's drowning, and there's no one there to save her.
Or is there?
When she's voluntarily trapped with four forbidden men she was always warned to stay away from, she finds herself slowly emerging from the darkness that was drowning her. Each man brings his own depth and desire into her life and she's unable to resist the temptation.
In this tangled web of loss, love, and extreme lust, can Kane, Seven, Stone, and Ace rescue Emerson from despair before she's completely consumed? Or will she drown in the darkness of her past?

•My Review•
Thank you so much to the author, K.M Rogness, for the ARC opportunity!
This was the first book I’ve read by this author and it most definitely will not be my last!
What a ride this book was! The plot was plottin and the spice was seriously spicy! I loved everything about the FMC, Emerson. She was badass, a smokin biker babe with so much trauma to carry. Every part of this book was a page turner. Emerson’s relationship with 4 forbidden bikers, Seven, Ace, Stone and Kane was so beautifully executed. I loved how each of them respected and supported her in their own special way.
This was a perfectly written why choose, dark forbidden romance 🖤 There are some heavy triggers, read through them before diving in!

Super spice heavy which I dont mind at all. However I just dont think it was quite the book for me at the time? May try a reread down the line. But I will say I do love how all MMCs are totally obsessed with Emerson and how she still managed to push through despite going through alot all at once.

This is like reading a Wattpad

It’s so disjointed and it fumbles over itself I made it 15% of the way in and I was getting so annoyed and also confused and frustrated.

Abused and all of the other characters no she is and just keep kissing the top of her head or her lips and telling her that there’s there for her

Excuse me what

And she’s not telling them that she’s getting abused because why ???

This was just not good

🌊 ARC REVIEW🌊

Drowning by K.M. Rogness

THIS.WAS.SPICYYY! 💦

If you’re a why choose / RH reader- you’ll be clutching your pearls 😏 (if you’ve read this, you get the pun).

Drowning is a taboo dark romance about an FMC that is lost and needs to find her way through grief of recently loosing her parents and attempting to leave her abüsive, stälker boyfriend. She seeks refuge through her MC club companions that started out as found family but quickly blur the lines as something more as passion and tensions rise.

This was a quick, fast paced read full of spice, biker energy, east coast beach house summer vibes and morally grey love interest(s). Each MMC brought their own energy, dirty talk and I definitely learned a few new things about popsicles and water play. 👀

Thank you @darksmutauthor_kaseyr for allowing me to be on your ARC team!

Drowning will be available in paperback & hardcover format July 7th. In the meantime, you can download the Drowning ebook, available on Amazon (and KU) now!

In true K.M. Rogness style, the goods have been delivered!!! The Queen of Dark Smut has well and truly entered the building🔥🖤💋

This is one of those authors that I’ll immediately read… AND love the stories and characters so much that I’ll purchase copies of their work.
Thus far, each and every time I have not been let down… we’re on a 3for3 run baby!

Now... Drowning! D-fricken-licious!!!
I legit submerged myself within this storyline and adored every single moment.

I’m a big hurt/comfort/trauma reader and ate these details up. The way our girl Emz works her way through the lows does get creative by a certain point and I was not mad about it at all 😅… revenge fantasies played out in a dark rom sits hand in hand with shadow daddy-morally grey to black book baes in my opinion! 🖤

Kane, Seven, Ace and Stone… There's something super smexy about each and every one of these guys that will have you never wanting to choose between them... And why the heck would you?! A repetitive thought that ran through my head whilst reading: Emerson, girl, you are one lucky ducky!😉

Read if you like:

💙Bikers/MC
🖤Forbidden Scenarios

💙Stalking Scenario

🖤And… there’s more… but you're gonna have to read to find out lovers! 😉

Side note: the way Drowning has revamped Popsicle play and made it the new ice cube kink 🫠 hehehehehe IYKYK

As always, please note the ‼️TWs‼️, your mental health and safety matter.

General: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🫦🫦🫦🫦🫦

Tropes:
🌊 Biker/MC
🌊 Why choose
🌊 Age gap
🌊 Fathers best friend
🌊 Brothers best friend
🌊 Stalking
🌊 MM, MFM, FM
🌊 Piercings & tattoos everywhere (MMC, FMC)
🌊 Friends to lovers
🌊 Touch her & ☠️
🌊 Forbidden

Darkness. Death. Temptation. Forbidden.

These four words describe Drowning by K.M. Rogness in the perfect way.

First of all, before you start with this book, be sure to check out the TWs, because your mental health always comes first.

With this dark why choose forbidden romance Kasey succeeded to take you directly in the world of a MC.
We have Emerson the struggling FMC, who lost her parents and feels like she is drowning in her grief and has to deal with an abusive boyfriend on top of this. Then we have our 4 MMCs, Kane, Seven, Stone and Ace who try their best to get Emerson out of her black hole.
The dynamic between all of the MCs is so great and full of emotions.
And we can’t forget that this book is full of smut of all kinds that you can imagine. You will be hot and wet from these heavily tatted and pierced bikers.

Quotes:
"Good girl. Now get back down here and show me how fuçking good you are at riding the biker."

She smiles at me, licking her puffy lips as keep stroking, giving her a pearl necklace, then coating her lips with the rest and smearing it across them.
"Rub them together for me. Use my çum to make your lips shine for us, Little One." | smile, pumping the last few drops from my çock.

As I go to let out a moan from feeling both men fuçk my h0les, Stone wraps the belt around my throat and tightens it, quickly shoving his çock between my lips.

In true Kasey fashion, there’s a delicious list of triggers. Please check before reading. I don’t know if I should tell you to grab your toys or tissues. This book is going to take you for a ride.

It’s the summer she was dreading, but didn’t know she needed. She was drowning and only these men could save her.

Emerson Cole, our FMC. Trying to deal with the death of her parents, an abusive partner, stalker and forbidden feelings. It would be enough to send any one off the cliff. She doesn’t want to show weakness, she wants to make her brother Eli proud.. but at what cost? Will she ruin the relationship between her brother and his bestfriends?

Kane, Daddy Kane is dominant and also Emerson father bestfriend. Pushes her out of her comfort zone in the best ways.

Stone, Kane’s son. Protective and more likely to be the one being told what to do in bed. Has just as much love for Emerson and he does for Ace. Gosh their relationship is something else.

Ace is a sweetheart, too shy for his own good, but he can perform magic tricks with his tongue. I no doubts he looks damn good when he has Stone bent over.

Seven is possessive and obsessed and head over heels for his bestfriend baby sister. Always have, and boy oh boy does he express it.

✨ARC review✨

5/5 ⭐️
5/5 🌶️

Tropes:

- Why choose
- Forbidden love
- Bikers
- Age gap
- Fathers best friend
- Brothers best friend
- Traumatic past & stalker
- Touch her and be unalived

Quick thoughts:
This book contains all of the best tropes that I could ask for in a book so I knew going into it I was going to enjoy it. Add in Emerson who has a traumatic past and make her a badass who doesn’t need these men but wants them and they want her. This is one of those stories where you get a ton of spicy content but you also get a strong plot with strong characters that have significant growth throughout the book. You get the banter, the independent FMC, the golden retriever rottweiler MMC’s, the spice, and without saying to much you the most satisfying sense of pride for Emerson, iykyk.

*Please be mindful of your own trigger warnings before reading any books that you feel may contain content that may be harmful to your mental health. Identifying subject manner is written in a clear manner to help readers feel more prepared, better informed, and more safe within the confines of these books. Happy reading babes!

If you're looking for a book that's more smut than plot then look no further I HIGHLY suggest reading this!!. I find nothing wrong with a book that has more smut than plot I actually really enjoy them so this book made my heart and other things very happy.

Only thing I had a difficult time with was there was no backstory or lead up to the guys connections to the FMC things just happened way too quickly. I do like me some tension and build up give me the foreplay before jumping into things 😉

This did not deter me from finishing the book and I still would rate it four stars as I enjoyed the writing and the tropes and hot dang it made me feel things I won't mention LOL

I felt like there was way more storyline for Seven and Daddy Kane with Emerson and I would have loved to see more of Ace and Stone and only because of that I'd say seven and Daddy Kane were my favorite.. fricken love me a strong scary Daddy age gap.

Please check trigger warnings before reading as there are plenty and KM definately made me question myself a few times 😅

Looking forward to reading other books by this author.

What a roller coaster ride this was!! In the best possible way!!!

I am so thankful I picked this up and got to read it. This book has forbidden love, brothers best friend, motorcycle club, age gap, AND is a why choose... sign me up.

There are many things going on at once in this book but it is written in a way that is easy to follow. I also must stress to please read the trigger warnings it is labeled dark for a reason and it definitely gets dark. I also want to say that everyone deals with trauma differently and this book shows that how one person might heal might not be how another person does.

This book is also smutty, this is not an understatement. The story of Emerson, Seven, Kane, Ace, and Stone is one I won’t forget anytime soon I just wish it was longer to be honest.

The way that each of them brings a new side out of Emerson and also the way they all love her in different ways is beautiful. The different ways they help her through what she needs is incredible. Emerson goes through things no one should ever have to go through but we get to see her survive and how she handles certain things. This is also multi POV so we get to see what the guys are thinking as well.

I can’t believe the book is over!😭😭

Seven, Kade, Ace, Stone, & Emerson

Highly suggest reading trigger warnings before reading!!!

This is my first book that I’ve read of K.m Rogness and I fell in love with her writing and most definitely the smut was smutting and a why choose well hott damnn yes please 🥵🥵🥵
All the Mmc’s are spicy, caring and loving Emerson in their own ways. Definitely had me loving each and everyone of them but my top favorites are Daddy Kane and Seven 🫦🫦 But Ace isn’t so far off especially with that popsicle scene 🥵🥵
Emerson is a strong bad ass Fmc dealing with the loss of her parents and to top it off being abused by her douche bag of an ex (which I’m so glad he got what he deserved)
Highly highly recommend this book and can’t wait to read all of K.m Rogness other books

Why choose a forbidden dark romance ahh duh why not when you know it’s from KM Rogness who is absolutely amazing author in this genre. This book will have every emotion that you can possibly imagine feeling through out this book. I personally could relate to the main character Emerson her pain of losing her parents I connected with. As in all of. KM Rogness book I always can relate to one or more characters. The beautifully crafted talent that this book has is something to appreciate and admire as it takes you into some dark places and yet some sinful naughty ones as well. Please do take all triggers/ tropes in to consideration before reading. This book also has a killer playlist that goes along with the read and just makes it that much more fun to read. 10/10 in all spots I give this book.

This is the first book by Kasey that I have had the pleasure of reading and I cannot wait to read more by her!

When I say I DEVOURED this book in a few hours... Woah. This read was SO good!

I'm a SUCKER for why choose and this one was delicious!

Bikers, trauma, why choose, all the spice.... I will never look at a popsicle the same way again! And the pet names! Little One, Princess, Blue Eyes, and Brat.

I loved Emerson's determination, willpower, and fight. She was such a strong MFC. And the guys?! I don't think I could choose a favorite either! They all gave her something different, but yet all made her complete. I loved all of them: Daddy Kane, Seven, Ace, and Stone were amazing MMCs. Kane was such a strong male figure, Seven was giving golden retriever energy, Stone and Ace were just complete sweethearts.

I read this as an eARC. I sat for a bit on my review because I wanted to go back and look at some scenes and see if what I felt the first time was what I still felt going back through it.
It felt like there was so much missing. It read like it was a first rough draft that didn't get finished.
The book was about 95 percent spice scenes and 5 percent plot - and there was a lot of the plot missing.
A theme would be brought up, and then it wasn't finished so you were kept wondering what happened? And there seem to be so much missing in some of the interactions between the female main character and the men she was involved with.
There were just a lot of gaps.
The spice? There was a lot. And it was alright. I love a good spicy scene and this felt cold. Sometimes a little cringey or just out there for responses. And I'm not talking about like locations or methods... I'm just talking about the actual way that all of a sudden she would be responding. It just was odd?
There were some interesting spice themes that I had not heard of before and probably the next time I have a popsicle I might grin, lol
but l do think stating the tag of a stalker was overstating for this one
The author did do a very good job at representing the triggers that could be encountered in the book. I was fully prepared and knew what to expect and I appreciated that!
I do feel like this could've been so MUCH more.
I definitely don't feel like it was "bad"
I just felt like it was missing a lot. I definitely wanted more and that's a good thing because the book intrigued me and did draw me in- wanting to read more of the story from the author is a good thing in my eyes!!
I would give it 3 PEARLS if I could ;) iykyk
honestly, going to read another book from this author because I think she's worth it!!

Seven?? 👀👀 I know who I would choose.
Literally most of my highlights revolved around this man.😮‍💨
Seven•Ace•Kane•Stone
Even though Seven is my favorite I love how each one of these men healed Emerson in different ways, allowing her to take control of her life again.

If you enjoy a SPICY Reverse Harem with a badass FMC this is the book for you! The writing is immaculate & the journey with Emerson is a wild ride. 🏍️ 🔥

Read Trigger Warnings to make sure you’re able to handle the heat. Grab a popsicle if you need to cool down. 😏

holy moly you guys🥵 this book takes you on a wild ride! if you’re looking for a dark, smutty reverse harem, this is the one!

at the start of the book, Emerson’s parents were killed by a drunk driver and she’s in a toxic relationship that soon turns abusive. she finally has enough and leaves, so her brother takes her to their beach house for the summer to help her heal. it’s not just them two at the beach house though, 4 more members of their motorcycle club also join in on their beach house stay🤭

Ace, Stone, Seven, and Kane have been obsessed with Emerson for a long time, but she has been completely off limits. however, this summer, they all decide that they’ve waited long enough.

Ace was definitely my favorite guy🫶🏼 Stone and Seven are a close second! I really enjoyed how we get the backstory of Ace, so I felt a lot more connected to him!

this book is super smutty with dark themes, so make sure to check your trigger warnings before reading.

3.5 🌟 This book has definitely been 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ so much action in different ways. Some scenes were so 🥵. One of the spiciest I’ve read. I felt at times there was not much build up just ACTION. The forbidden sister/daughter you’re not supposed to touch! The twists and turns! Definitely some triggers for some. Towards the end there is some cum play I definitely was gagging to lmao!! I am big on textures and the thought of some of this play had me almost tossing my cookies. I felt the writing at times was not as smooth as others I have read but overall i did enjoy the book. I enjoyed Daddy Kane and Seven. "Ride me, baby. Take my cock and come all over it. I want to see it shine under the stars when I slide out of your pussy” so many hot scenes like this! She did not disappoint on the heat factor! Thanks for allowing me to do ARC read.
