Quinlan

by Eva Marks

My life is no longer my own. Now, it belongs to them….

I had a stalker. Three of them, actually.
They’d been watching me from the shadows for years. And when the time was right, they seduced me with lies. Lured me into thinking they were good men.

They aren’t.
Good men wouldn’t have blackmailed me into being their captive. But they have, and they’ll do anything to get revenge against my family, even if it destroys me.

What they don’t realize is that I know the truth.
They’re obsessed with me. Want to claim me. Own me—body and soul.
Most of all, I see them.
Damien’s cruelty, Rome’s anger, the pain behind Liam’s scars…they call to me. Make me want things they can never give me.
Like their hearts.

I know our time together will soon end. I should be scared of what will happen to me once their revenge is complete. But truthfully?
The only thing that scares me is how willing I am to give these men everything they want…

[Darlene I read WAY to many books · Rating 4 out of 5]

Now be warned this one is a little longer than eva Writes! But I enjoyed every second of these men!! Remember, this is her biggest book to date.

Damien Rome and Liam grew up in a hard world, and things were done to them that shouldn't have been done. Their saving grace was Quinlan. They were let go because of her. And we have years that pass.

Present time, the guys made sure they worked hard, so there revenge against the peoples who wronged them. Quinlan is part of that revenge plan. They aren't going to hurt her, but they are going to play with her and make her there's.

Quinlan is a sweet girl who wants to be independent she has her own company and hates that her brother is so overprotective and not in a good way. She carries a lot of grief from a past accident that still haunts her. And she's determined to be a success. She meets all the guys one on one when they stalk her. It's a cat mouse game for all of them she's confused about why they are paying any attention to her and confused at how protective and obessed they are. And when they have her captive in their place, things get more delicious.

Humiliation, spankings, heartstrings being pulled, the truama everyone went through, and the spice and punishments that happened. Delicious.. im glad the guys had a lot of time with her and explained after why they did what they did.

“The darkness is a beautiful thing, little flame. Truly beautiful, until it’s forced on you. Until it's the only thing that’s left.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

I am completely speechless with this book. I literally have no words to review this amazing book, it was just breath taking. Eva ma’am you OUTDID yourself with this book. Over 600 pages of a remarkable story, which I finished in 24hrs, that should tell you how marvelous this book is.

This book is so well written, the details for each and every MC story are so well descriptive. I love how she wrote the story for each one of the main characters in this book, and my god you can feel for all of them, each traumatic story as a child are un-real and to think there is children that go through this in real life. And don’t get me start it on the smut holy smokes I think each chapter in this BIG puppy of a book contain smut and not just a bit noup, the entire chapters are filled with it and I just love how they all were always together, never leaving her alone. Ahhhhh I just loved this book so much, it was perfect, nothing missing. The plot, the story, the revenge EVERYTHING, perfection!

This book follows 3 MMC and a MFC and you know when you read a “why choose” you always have a favorite MMC, yeah not here. It is impossible to choose a favorite one, I literally sat here and thought about it and I just can’t all 3 of them are equally perfect. And our MFC it’s even more perfect, she got some fire on her, specially for the people she loves.

Just READ THE BOOK! Do not get scared for how big it is, trust me, IT’S DELICIOUS 😜😍 and beautiful!

I really liked the premise and writing, but the way that certain things played out and the instant development of feelings felt abrupt.

[Amanda Rose · Rating 1 out of 5]

I was so hyped for this book from the teasers on social media. It did NOT work for me. It was full of repetitive internal dialogue. The book could’ve been chopped in half and maybe it would have worked. And I get it! Sometimes smut IS the plot! This is not one of those cases. I read the triggers and I enjoy dark romance books, but this line right here:
“Her body makes for a beautiful shell, but my obsession runs far deeper than that. I could jack off to her soul.” 👁️👄👁️ what is that?!

this ain’t it.

I think I read a few books from this author and enjoyed them, so I’m not exactly sure what happened with this. I have never rolled my eyes so much reading a book I thought my eyes would pop out. I think the main female character was literally born without a brain. The way she changes her life for these three guys after spending literally two minutes each with them is crazy. Nothing about this story is believable. Nothing about the FMC is likeable.

After she is assaulted for the first time and she wakes up without her underwear, she questions absolutely nothing? I’m sorry, no woman in the world is that stupid.

[❁ Ashton ❀ · Rating 5 out of 5]

After reading and obsessing over Eva's latest book ' Bake The Town Red' i HAD to jump on this ARC. This is a dark romance with a long list of triggers, you have been warned 🖤

Tropes
🖤 Multiple POVs ( All 4!)
🤍 Stalker MMCs
🖤 Age Gap ( M34, M34, M32, F23)
🤍 Blackmail & Revenge
🖤 Dub Con
🤍 Knife & Blood Play
🖤 Childhood Trauma

🖤 HEA

The writing, the ANGST, the emotion,, the level of pain, the torture, the plot, the smut, to say i was gripped in the pages would be a huge understatement. Three unhinged men that were obsessed with one woman and aimed to break her apart in the name of love. I was pulled straight through that shit storm of the emotional roller-coaster.. Torn between loving and loathing these men. But they knew what Quinlan needed, even if the punishments seemed too cruel and abusive.

At first i thought Quinlan was very naive but she was just a girl who wanted control of her own life and wanted to break free from the chains of her step brother. Having had a sheltered life she soon gained some power when her stalkers make her aware she'd been watched. My heart broke for all of them but Quinlan finally breaking, had me reaching for tissues.. That chapter broke me too ( Thank you for that! 😭)

Damien, Rome and Liam - Three men with hidden and visable scars that were tormented by their pasts made a plan to seek revenge to those that hurt them in childhood. They're dangerous on their own but together they are lethal and intense. They created a dark plan to kidnap Quinlan as revenge against her step brother, Rex. A pawn in their dark and twisted game. They made it known they loved her, but is that possible when all they have is a powerful dark emotion? anger, hate, ruthlessness., bitterness

The writing was intense, Eva really built each scene - i swear most of the time my jaw was on the floor! The Multiple POVs was perfect, it made it easier to connect to all four of them. It helped get inside their heads, understanding their feelings that they never seeked to share with eachother. That showed true vulnerability. This book had very dark themes, i will admit Eva constantly challenged me with these triggers.. So thank you, this was a great reading experience!
I can finally breathe now! ✨5/5✨

* i never thought id say this but 600+ pages just wasn't enough.. Call me Quinlan because i am definitely greedy for more


✨ Thank you Eva Marks for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review ✨

[Sarah · Rating 2 out of 5]

She is pathetic for supporting her parents after all they did to her. She should have left them to fend for themselves and cut them off completely. This part of the story ruined the book for me. I think it is weak to just forgive them. They should have gone to jail or at the very least should have thrown them on the street. Also the babysitter thing ia completely unbelievable no one would believe a 9 year old would threaten a teenage girl and a boyfriend as a witness is a joke cops would never believe it especially if the kids parents didn’t believe the lie and were willing to fight the story. Book fell apart with those 2 things!!!

THANK YOU EVA FOR SENDING ME AN ARC OF THIS BOOK! It is always a privilege and a honor💗🙌🏼 also I am sorry this is late…life just got in the way of having the time to post it😭😭😭😭

NOW…This was honestly a rollercoaster. 𝘐 𝘦𝘯𝘫𝘰𝘺𝘦𝘥 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘦!!❤️‍🔥

Quinlan is being stalked by not one..not two...but 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐄𝐄 𝐌𝐄𝐍!! Damien, Rome, and Liam have plans for revenge on people who have done them wrong and Quinlan is a part of that revenge. She wasn’t suppose to be anything more than a means to an end but they just couldn’t help themselves.🤭

I loved her character development and just seeing her process this guilt that she has had her whole life and just letting it go, and these 3 men are the ones to help her do it💗 She also helps them heal from their mental wounds and it is just 𝒃𝒆𝒂𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒇𝒖𝒍 to see them break down their walls one by one for her💕

All three men are just... 𝒀𝑼𝑼𝑼𝑼𝑼𝑴𝑴𝑴𝒀𝒀𝒀𝒀 but i think my favorite is Liam 🥰 I feel he is the sweetest out of the three, not by much, and I just 𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘵𝘦𝘥 with him🫠💕 He has a scar going across his face that he thinks that many people find truly ugly and Quinlan said he was so 𝒃𝒆𝒂𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒇𝒖𝒍, I died!😩

As always, Eva knows how to write SPICE!!! I mean, wow, had me hot and bothered for DAYS!!!!🥵❤️‍🔥🫠

[Kate V · Rating 4 out of 5]

Damien, Rome and Liam have childhoods meant for years of therapy but these three intend on settling the score in bloodshed. Part of their carefully laid plans years in the making includes Quinlan. She’s the key to their vengeance and the balm to their souls.

“She’s been our most precious acquisition since we started BLF Capital.”

Quinlan has always given, rarely taken and has emotional scars that have carried her through life in solitude. Until three beautifully broken men kidnap her and soon they all realize they were made for each other.

“You don’t beg for God. You beg for Rome. For Liam. For me. No one else is here to save you. No one else is here to pleasure you. No one’s taken care of you in a while. But we are. We will. Beg for me.”

Damien, Rome and Liam all have distinct personalities and I loved every facet of them. Their boldness, possessiveness and filthy minds were the perfect combination of heat and heart.

Quinlan was a really fun FMC. She was vulnerable yet strong and I enjoyed reading her determination in getting what she wanted.

This story was LONG but I never got bored. There were a lot of things happening in a good way, plenty of smut and excellent character development. I also really appreciated the no MM factor in her so all focus was on our heroine. Eva Marks just brings it here!

[Britney · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely loved this book! It not only met but far exceeded my expectations, pulling me in from the very first page. The revenge plot was intricately woven, with twists and turns that kept me captivated and eager to turn each page. I found myself unable to put it down, especially as the tension and suspense escalated with each chapter. The way the author built anticipation was masterful, leaving me on the edge of my seat, completely absorbed in the story.

The spicy moments throughout the narrative were particularly impressive—intense and exhilarating, they added an exciting layer to the plot without feeling forced. I genuinely connected with the characters; they were so well-developed and relatable that their emotional journeys felt real to me. I found myself empathizing with their struggles, triumphs, and the tough choices they had to make.

The depth of their relationships added another layer of richness to the story. Each character had their own arc, and watching them navigate their complexities made for a truly engaging reading experience. It was hard to pick favorites among the three book boyfriends who captured my heart, as each brought something unique to the table!

Overall, I had such a fantastic time with this book that I can't stop thinking about it, and I'm eagerly anticipating what this talented author will create next!

[Lucy Mason · Rating 1 out of 5]

I’m writing this review as I read, I’m less than 10% in and already i can tell the FMC is going to do my head in. How do you go from ultimate fear that you are being stalked to giggling and letting some random ass man with ‘fake’ facial expressions walk you home?? Are you dumb? Just because he’s handsome doesn’t mean shit - girl you is stupid.

The guys POV is probably the only thing keeping me reading, the amount of inner monologue from quinlan is unreal and it’s all just shit. She says the same thing multiple times but with different words, the book could have been halved if she didn’t spout so much shit.

If I have to read about Quinlan’s ‘burning’ skin or how warm she is one more time, I will set something on fire - we get it you’re horny, go fuck a vibrator or something. These guys have put this girl on a pedestal (I get their reasoning) but Jesus Christ she is the most boring, pick me, ‘sad’ girl I have ever read. I have got less than 20% into this book and she has already cried 3 times over her brother who died 18 years ago,(obviously sad) but come on, pick something else as a personality trait, it’s boring.

At this point I have DNF’d as I’m getting too irritated and I’m bored, maybe I’ll pick it back up but honestly I doubt it, there’s much better dark romance out there.

[balayageandbooks · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you are a why choose and dark romance lover Author Eva Marks has you covered!

When I saw the tropes and teasers for this book I immediately ran and signed up!

Stalking Obsessed Men… check.

Revenge plot at its finest… check.

Total baddie FMC…check.

Found family…check.

ALL the spice your heart could ever desire… CHECK!!!

This book had me in all my feels…

The sadness from the trauma these characters endure. The rage for them to get their revenge. The happiness when they start to heal as a unit.

This books just like most of Eva’s will have you questioning your morals and your sanity… when you realize how hot it is to have multiple obsessive men.

But you’ll also appreciate how well she writes these empowering woman and how they bring these men to their knees… quite literally.

This book isn’t for the faint of heart… check your trigger warnings.

But if you love multiple dark and delicious men who love to spoil and share their woman…Happy Reading!

[Shelly · Rating 1 out of 5]

I definitely expected more from this from reading the other reviews. I had to force myself to finish it when I was around 68% through. There are much better dark reverse harems. Quinlan doesn't stand on her own and is a weak fmc. It seems like she just folds to whoever is around her and mirrors their personality. She becomes who they need and doesn't have her own personality. I would have also appreciated a longer timeline. This happens in the span of a month? Kinda ridiculous. I would have liked each revenge plot to be a separate book so we could have seen Quinlan grow more and become her own person. The revenge schemes were also very unfullfilling and didn't seem like it would actually take the years they spent organizing it. The idea is there, but I think this was a swing and a miss.

[Jenna Baker · Rating 4 out of 5]

Unaware three men are out stalking her, as a part of their revenge from when they were younger. Quinlan does everything she can to prevent falling in love, and take on her responsibilities towards her parents and older step brother. But everything takes a 180, choices and life changes (in a happy way.) Eva marks does it again! Beautiful writing!

[Chloe Mitchell · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow. I am obsessed.

I loved this book from the moment I started reading it.

The character building of Quinlan and her men was so well written.

The spice was spicy and the plot was just as good.

I can't wait to read more from Eva Marks!

[Lauren · Rating 3 out of 5]

I wish there was a half star option. I enjoyed this book and give it a 3.5 ⭐️
The 3 MMC's plot for revenge kept me reading and wanting to see how things would play out.
The reason I did not rate it a little higher is because I wanted a quicker development.

[ju · Rating 1 out of 5]

The heroine is so unlikable. She has no backbone. They are cruel to her and she gets horny? Even though she literally just met them?

Also, the heroes are 3 grown men being being unnecessarily cruel to her for something SHE DIDNT DO. It’s not even her fault lol. they just seem weak & immature, not hot

[thevampireslibrary · Rating 5 out of 5]

Eva has become one of my favourite dark romance authors, her writing is addictive. This was an amazing why choose, the characters were just *OOMMPH* the depth to them felt incredibly authentic, theres spice and smut but the plot is propulsive and the level of character development make this a compelling read

[Kat · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excuse me Ms. Eva Marks. This Book is Amazing!! So obsessed.. Am totally obsessed with her books, but I got the opportunity to ARC QUINLAN. Thank you so much!

No spoilers here, but this book sucked me in from the beginning. I mean 3 Stalkers. Damien, Rome and Liam; they are seeking for the truth and only Quinlan Knows the Truth. The 3 MMC are obsessed with her and all 3 try to claim her.

I fell in love with these beautiful people while reading this book. There were definitely tears and laughter and lots of spice. The story was fantastic, some of the writing was a bit slow in areas but the backstories of these 4, especially Liam, Rome and Dame, and their connection before and after Q, made up for it. And Liam’s family.. ❤️❤️❤️ love them!! The family they all needed.

no literally why even choose 🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️

[Nightboat · Rating 2 out of 5]

Why are they punishing her as soon as they get her, when she’s done nothing wrong?

Why does the second doorman leave the door unlocked to help in the kitchen when the first one was sacked for letting her out?
Would’ve taken 1 second to make sure it was closed. Makes no sense.

Why does she believe the letter from Rex and go running to save her parents when she has just seen a video of him calling her a slut and knows how abusive and awful he is? How he would do anything to get to her because he needs her back, to take care of her parents.
Shouldn’t she wait for those men she trusts so much, ask them to investigate or at least take her to her parents or call them or something?
Why is she so stupid?

None of this book makes sense and none of the main characters were likeable.

Also, so much drawn out internal monologue between each sentence in a conversation made it hard to follow. Thoughts were repeated time and time again, the book could’ve been half as long and would’ve been more tolerable.

[He11zbelles · Rating 2 out of 5]

I had high hopes for this book, but it fell short of my expectations. It took me longer than usual to finish it, and after all the hype and positive reviews, I’m not sure if I’m reading the same book.

The dialogue was cringeworthy at best, and the characters’ actions were overly corny. The three MMC’s were supposed to be dark and alpha, but they came across as trying too hard, just like the FMC. I found the FMC so annoying, ugh.

I also skimmed through the sexy times, it had me rolling my eyes. The book was also longer than it should have been, which made it feel drawn out and tedious.

Overall, this book didn’t work for me. It was a disappointing read.

[Kelly · Rating 2 out of 5]

meh

I was hyped to read this and now I am regretting the time wasted.

This was just an endless loop of nonsense. The spice was just okay. Considering it was 3 guys on 1 girl, it should have been scorching. Quinlan was sort of obnoxious and very wishy washy.

I felt nothing for the 3 MMCs. There was something missing that should have made me feel connected to their story.

The revenge plot was lame. And the whole book was dragged out waaaaay too many pages.

[Alicia · Rating 2 out of 5]
