4/5⭐️ До 5 балів не вистачило, але було на рівні Мені дуже сподобався сюжет, це шось новеньке ще нічого такого не читала Лондон (головна героїня, та та хтось називає дітей Лондон😅, дуже не смійтесь але я спочатку подумала що події відбуваються в Лондоні, а потім вона така мене звати Лондон і я тоді зрозуміла що це ім’я) втекла від свого батька і опинилась біля будинку Арчера Арчер звісно нічого не зрозумів, що вона тут робить, а потім вона сказала шо її друг сказав прийти до нього додому, Арчер мав би її сховати і захистити І тут вони починають жити разом, спочатку все тяглось дуже довго і нудно, бо вони майже весь час були вдома, але потім так все почало розвиватись 🤯 Мені дуже сподобались головні герої, вони такі протилежності один одному (сама авторка про це наголошує) але так класно підходять один одного Лондон підкорила своєю силою, не зважаючи на те скільки вона пройшла вона не зламалась, і це заслуговує великої поваги Арчера я спочатку не розуміла, а потім він так класно почав змінюватись, розвиватись, попри все він залишився таким добрим чоловіком Мені трохи не сподобались його методи стеження, але це забавляло, момент коли він увірвався в ресторан, я хочу це перечитати 20 разів Ну так вже він турбувався про Лондон там вже під кінець дуже сильно це вже був перебір Його брати і сестри теж дуже прикольні, всі дуже дуже різні, там далі я зрозуміла що має бути про кожного книга, вже так цікаво про них прочитати Це точно не звичайних роман про мафію, тут точно набагато більше Не сподобалось, те що нам нічого не пояснювалось, особливо на початку, я страшенно таке не люблю, виходить що тут потрібно ще було 0.5 частину, щоб хоть шось пояснити Це велика помилка авторки, перша книга а нічого не зрозуміло, якби це була 2 чи 3 то питань немає а тут перша і нічого не зрозуміло Починається книга з того шо вона вже в нього на порозі, щей побита і думайте собі шо хочете, думала може далі авторка пояснить але ні Лише пізніше картина почала помаленько малюватись і я нарешті щось зрозуміла Але попри це книгу дуже рекомендую!! Можливо вам це не суттєво але мені таке не подобається, люблю таки бути в курсі всього Це точно щось нове і такого я ще не читала, але хотілось би більше
Look, should I have known how stupid it would be based off the name alone? Probably! Will I stop listening to tik tok reccomendations? Unfortunately no but I’ll keep complaining about them
Dnf’d at 85%. That fucking close. Cue a shitload of Unnecessary Misunderstanding Trope.
It’s pissing me off so bad rn because I was having the time of my life reading about a guy who always puts his girl first. These stupid ass hoes don’t talk first of all, like zero communication and I get it cuz of their backstory. But it gets a to certain point you know. What triggered me the most is that Archer was so obsessively protective even at the most trivial of things. But then Madison the ungrateful lying hoe SHOOTS London and he wants to go get some closure?????? I get he was wound up crazy grieved about her dying but honestly when you find out that the bitch you been moping over for years and how they influenced your life with their deception, I would think it snaps you out of your bullshit and into a deleting spree. Ama yok Alas a girl can dream Here I expected he would go and string her up in typical bad boy fashion and torture her and then bring London over and they would torture her together and then dance over her mutilated corpse. Why else is this even a mafia book??? Everyone judges Seven but I like him cuz he wouldn’t have let that shit slide if someone crossed Grace(I hope). And then there was no mention of how London was a victim too and her scars and Archer was particularly chill about it for a mafia guy with anger and control issues. I expected the whole works, “Who did this to you” and such. And dont even get me started on Ivy, she was so annoying and pick me at those “family dinners” also the way she exposed London just further proves it because that hoe was having a hard time accepting anything other than her holier than thou self was able to get through with Archer and she didn’t have any sway over him like that. She could’ve confronted London herself if she really wanted to protect Archer but all she wanted to do was ruin something good he had and walk in like a saviour later with her incessant nagging and calling that was never much help to Archer.
So much potential and all went to shit cuz until 75% mark it was a 6/5 stars for me.

Суміш емоційно страдальних гойдалок, з різкими поворотами сюжету, затягнута в слоубьорн та періодичні тупі вчинки героїв.
Арчер - маска біг бой золотого ретривера, під якою живе такий, нічьо так мафіозі «доторкнись до неї і ти помреш» І який в прямому сенсі валить стіни.
Лондон - взагалі героїня класна. Мені подобається, що її не треба було жаліти, вона цього не хотіла. Смілива дівчинка з покаліченим життям, яка не махає «тим всім» як жертва тряпкою.
Загалом, загалом, якщо б упустити деякі моменти, і постійне непорозуміння у відносинах головних героїв, це могла б бути і 4. Але дуже затягнулася, занадто довго це розкривалося. І в кінці є прям момент, де кувалдою хотілося бити головного героя, а не стіни.
This book would have been better if the heroine had died when her shit father stabbed her. 😪 Her stupidity was too fucking infuriating. The first view chapters were really entertaining and I was looking forward to the rest but the constant lack of communication and their inability to talk about their issues and fix them was annoying. Even Archer and his brothers have no communication at all! Like seriously, what are you people doing?
Really enjoyed this book. Wasn’t as dark as I thought it would be. The banter was so good. They literally didn’t stop till the end, and I love that. 😂🩷
This books is definitely a 5/5 ⭐️. It usually takes me a few chapter to get into a story or at least a good 30% into the book but with this one I was hooked from the first chapter. London is a total queen, the way she was always so sassy and never truly scared of any of them was perfect, her story was super sad but she is the true definition of rising up from the ashes like a phoenix. Archer I truly fell in love with him from chapter one, the way this man was so caring even though he was a little grumpy and always annoyed with everyone most of all London 😂, also this man is smart, like scary smart but we always love it! I liked the way Archer and London has so much chemistry since the first chapter, that’s usually so rare in a book and I love Luna for giving us that, yes they bicker a lot but the chemistry was always there.
This is the third book I read by Luna and I swear I’m in love with her work, she always gives the right amount of action,drama, love and most importantly spice! Please continue to write amazing books Luna, you have a reader for life now.
The book could have gotten 5 stars if the whole killing Joe Vito scene wasn’t so confusing. Not to show my stupidity but was anyone else confused as to why Archer basically broke up with London when she went to go kill Joe or was it just me? They were both there for the same exact reason to end his life but he got his panties in a bunch for some fucking reason and declared he hated her for betraying him. Mind you he was literally turning himself over to the Manor family to confess he broke the treaty. KNOWING IT WAS GONNA END WITH HIM DYING now by the grace of oil he managed to slip through death all because he signed over his life and had info on Madison cool right? NO! What if he died right there? He didn’t tell London nor his siblings what he was doing so if the Manor family said fuck his offering the Sin family plus London would be none the wiser Archer is dead. But of course let’s get mad at London for trying to kill the man threatening her freedom and the man she loves life. As if he also didn’t communicate a plan he had and literally showed up to also kill Joe Vito. I really did like the book I promise but that one scene really made me confused and irritated due to the fact I couldn’t truly grasp why the fuck Archer felt betrayed by London’s actions to kill Joe Vito. Then to wait 5 weeks of no communication to then break a wall with a sledgehammer to talk to her………….could have been avoided but romantic gestures and all woo hoo!!!!

Якось мені на початку дуже подобалося, а потім щось не то. Дуже багато драми, як на мене, такі гой��алки Мені от наче і справді сподобалось, але хз. Дуууже чекаю про Севена(сподіваюсь він буде з Грейс🌚) Айві мені не сподобалася щось, цікаво що там буде з Лео.
Що мені сподобалось: 1.Арчер у своїй владній подобі; 2.Те, як Арчер піклується про близьких йому людей; 3.Дружба Грейс та Лондон; 4.Те, як Лондон може за себе постояти(момент з наглою консультаншою хіхі); 5.Присвята ТОЧНО 6.Те, як авторка розкривала потроху й другорядних персів, аж зацікавилась братами і сестрою Сін Що мені не сподобалось: 1.ООО боже да навчіться ви вже говорити; 2.Оце от тягання туда сюда; 3.Те, що гг постійно все ускладнювали, хоча можна було взяти і поговорити ви ж відносини збираєтесь будувати чи шо; 4.Кончений батько Лондон; 5.Перше враження про братів Сін: -Вони легковажні. -Не вміють самі вирішувати свої проблеми. 6.Цей слоу слоубьорн та скільки можна 7.Десь за 150-200 сторінок до кінця я вже втомилась від їх гойдалок; 8.І оце тільки в них наче стає все добре і херак знов щось стається, а вони замість того, щоб поговорити ображаються один на одного, а потім миряться; Загальні враження: Впринципі непогана книжка на один раз прочитати, є речі, які мені сподобались і, які не сподобались. Щось я не думала, що нас покатають на прям таких емоційних гойдалках. І цей слоубьорн ахахах мене вже нудить від цього слова. Арчер непоганий хлопець, який занадто помішаний на контролі і гіперопіці, і в нього є проблеми з довірою через певні обставини. Щось забагто про Арчера Ну бо як персонаж він мені більше сподобався, хоча вони один одного варті. Поки писала відгук і +-, то передумала щодо оцінки ахаххаах. Оцінка: 6.5/10 або 3/5

Archer and London captured me from the beginning and would not let me go.
The chemistry they share was of the charts. But what really got me was the complexity of them. They were each so different.
London is feisty, challenging, sarcastic and such a charismatic FMC but at her heart she is so strong in a way that few every have to be. She is a survivor! She is what it means when someone says don’t let the past define you. And through it all (without spoiling anything)was still willing to sacrifice the good she finally found for love.
Archer… oh Archer. He is everything you could want in a Grumpy Billionaire Bad Boy! Sexy, tattooed, funny, and giving touch her and die vibes. His trauma/loss had pushed him away from everyone including his family( who are so complex and can’t wait to read more about, especially Seven😉) Yet London arrives on his door step a complete mess and turns his neat world upside down. Yet he can’t turn her away. Oh I forget to mention he’s a hacker!!! Give me ten immediately.
I was blessed to receive the ARC and could not have been happier with this book. Luna does it again!! Another banger
Luna is the absolute QUEEN 👸 of writing about bad boys so the fact she’s giving us a whole nother universe with all bad boys is 🥵
First of all, Archers name (Archer Sin) could literally to be any more perfect for the man because I would 100% sin for him too — Hot, rich, possessive, TATTED 😮💨 all the best qualities in a red flagged man and you can’t tell me otherwise.
London is bad@ss. We trauma bonded immediately, and I mean straight from sentence one 👀👀. She’s just a fierce FMC that no matter what she’s been through, or what she’s dealt with, she’s kept her snark, and her attitude and refuses to take anything sitting down. Her strength throughout the entire book that she displays is a true testament to that.
Without ruining or giving away anything, this book made my jaw drop, made me punch my pillow, made me do some screamy screams and the amount of filth I have highlighted that came from Archer Sin’s mouth should make me go to a confessional 🤭
If you’re a fan of Luna Pierce or even someone new to her books but you like possessive men, bad@SS FMCs, hot and heavy banter with a heavy dose of angst — trust me when I say this is the absolute next book you wanna read. 🧎🏽♀️
Have you ever been so excited to read a book that you literally stayed up all night the second it was available? That's what I did with this book. I have never read a book so fast. Luna Pierce has truly outdone herself with this one.
London is trying to hide from her situation her father has put her in, even though he's five feet under, and Archer is her only hope. They are complete opposites. London is messy, mouthy, and everything Archer is trying to stay away from. Archer, on the other hand, is trying to stay away from his old life and is fully content on being by himself, the way he likes it. London comes in like a tornado and messes everything up. Deals and promises are made, and secrets are kept hidden, but will those secrets be too much to handle?
The spice in this book is chefs' kiss. As always, check your trigger warnings and get ready to dive into the wonderfully chaotic lives that are Archer and London.
I can not express how much I loved this book. Archer and London will forever live in my mind and in my heart. The back and forth between them, the love, the absolute roller coaster that is their story. 10/10. Luna knocked it out of the park with GB3. I was instantly hooked from the start.
I liked London right away. She’s this strong, badass fmc, but also feisty as hell. Archer being a Sin, a bad boy, but also so sweet. Possessive, obsessive, tatted, tall as hell, grumpy and rich? Yes pls, I’ll take one 🧎🏼♀️
The electricity between London and Archer was 𝗦𝗢 𝗚𝗢𝗢𝗗! The lust, the tension, the chemistry, and the bickering?! Are you kidding me - that was so freaking fun! And that brought on some hella nice spice - archer being everything I want 🫠
And Grace - she was such an amazing side character in this book. Such a funny badass - I loved all her witty comments, and her little tug with Seven, hihi.
Also - that ending?? Ahh I can’t wait for the next book and learn more about the Sin siblings 😍
This book had me hooked from the start! The plot was amazing, it was funny, addictive, hot and SO FREAKING GOOD!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
If I could rate this higher than a 5 star I would. I have never fell in love with a story and characters like I did with this book. Luna pierce writes masterpieces, she's an artist to the highest caliber. I could not put this book down for the life of me I am absolutely obsessed. Drop whatever you are doing and read this book right now. The chemistry, the conflict, the banter, the story line, the small details, the obsession he has for her, all of it is perfectly done. I can't wait to see where this series goes🫶
DNF I'm sorry, but this had so much potential for me. The storyline and MMC were everything I like in a book. The FMC was just so rude, I couldn't take her attitude. Why was she so mean to someone taking her in and protecting her when she was in so much danger. I don't expect her to be meek and mild, but why be rude ?
I read this book in a day because I couldn’t put it down!!!!
When I tell you am I’m obsessed with these characters I am not exaggerating! I love it’s a standalone but connection to the pervious story.
London is a survivor. She’s been through hell her entire life and when she has the chance to leave it all behind and get away from the man she was sold to be married to she bolts. With the help of a friend she end up at the door of our main man Archer.
Archer wants nothing to do with helping London. He has secluded himself from everyone and is happy to be alone and be left alone. His family will have non of that but the compromise is he head security and runs all the tech part of their enterprise.
As much as Archer wants to just slam the door in her face he can help but want to protect London. She’s banged up and bruised from head to toe. She is a tiny ball of fury and no match for Archer who is 6’5” and could squish her with his thumb. So he thinks 😉 They both have secrets they aren’t ready to share. Their lives become intertwined and they can’t keep denying the chemistry that’s there.
Archer Sin officially has my heart. I am officially in love with this man! He is so thoughtful and secretly has the biggest heart.
I love London and her journey to gain control of her life! She is fierce, snappy and a tornado.
I love this London and Archers story. They are everything.
Luna Pierce knocked this one out of the park! My only regret is reading it in a day so now I have to wait for the next one!
MF Mafia Grumpy FMC in hiding OTT J/P MMC Dark Enemies to Lovers Morally Grey
Grumpy Billionaire Bad Boy is book one in the Brothers of Sin series. It is a standalone romance with a happily-ever-after.
Archer is a grumpy "tech" guy who lives a virtually shut in life. After a tragedy, he shut himself off from family, work, and his previous life. He doesn't want to people - any people. He remains in the shadows, behind his computers, working the virtual side of his family's crime empire.
London is a woman on the run. She veils herself in mystery, determined not to let her previous life follow her. She lands on Archer's doorstep after being sent to him for protection.
Archer doesn't want to help London. He doesn't want to be involved. He doesn't want her in his home. He definitely doesn't want to like her.
There are two rules to their cohabitation: do not touch his computers and absolutely no falling in love.
The pair tentatively navigate the life of frenemies, build a spicy chemistry of UST, and fight their attraction. Unfortunately, neither of their pasts remain buried. Secrets and lies are revealed. Danger threatens the fragile truce they have built. Will they remain stronger united or break apart?
I loved Archer's introverted ways, London's brave nature, and their intense push and pull. Archer's family of secondary characters were told in vivid detail and I can't wait to read their future books.
The title is super bad. I know, I know don’t judge a book by its cover blah blah. but grumpy, billionaire, bad boy seems like a 13 year old girl trying to be an aspiring wattpad author and including everything that would attract other 13 year olds, or trying to add keywords for google engine. i almost didn’t read the book, but a bookstagram convinced me to read it (-0.5 rating for this only - sorry)
🛑 minor spoilers ahead 🛑
overall, i like this book. it’s a fun read. i like archer’s character and their chemistry. i do wish they had a few more scenes of chemistry building before the ‘she’s my everything i can’t breathe without her attitude’.
another thing - archer is supposed to be this super smart hacker, and he’s able to steal millions out of people’s bank accounts just ‘at the click of a few buttons’ LMAO. as if. this part could’ve been a little bit realistic. i would’ve appreciated some back story too, about the family and how he came to be as he is? idk this part just seemed missing.
about their characters - ‘my last name is sin’ lover boy sure loves to throw that around wherever possible in public. london tbh seemed like a bit of a freeloader. traumatic pasts and everything, i understand. still, little effort london? turned into a star eyed chick wherever free gifts were involved even from random strangers she just met at a coffee shop.
i loved the love-hate speech archer gave tho. kind of derivative, but still cute i guess. i enjoyed archer’s possessive character as well. and the fact that they’re total opposites. good read overall
i recently discovered that ruin my life is by the same author. can’t believe that they’re by the same author. good job on this one.
Within the same wolrd as her other series. This can be read without reading those We enter the Brother of Sin series. This first brother is Archer and he is Billonaire bad boy hacker. After the loss of someone close to him he has wanted out of the world and life he’s lived. Now more of a recluse he barely leaves his apartment and helps his family and their fortune for his apartment. When London shows up at his door after traveling across the country to get to safety after the demise of her horrible father she is trying to find safety and to lay low until it is safe for her to live her new life. In this we have a Grump MMC, Forced Proximity, Billonaire dark romance that I totally finished in one sitting. If you read Sinners and Angels and specifically if you got to Ruin My Life you would have seen or heard of a few of these characters in passing. Silver calls in a favor to our MMC to help London. I really love how determined a character London is. She isn’t timid or meek. The experiences of her past and what she went through with her father hasn’t deterred her. When she makes up her mind to do something she is the type of character to go do it. I love that our MMC, Archer is obsessed in his ways and to keep his promise to Silver. Overall I really enjoyed this story like all of Luna Pierces other books and I am highly anticipated the rest of the Sin Brothers Books!
This book was everything I needed. Luna, every story you write is incredible and draws me in from the first page 🤩 and this one was no different.
Archer Sin, I mean the clue is in his last name because god that man 🥵 from the moment we met him I loved him. His character was p e r f e c t. He was quiet, reserved and had so much depth to him. I just wanted to wrap him in a hug and never let him go.
London was strong, sassy and challenged Archer at every moment. Reading everything she’d been through broke my heart, how she kept going I have no idea. She was relatable and so so perfect for Archer.
Their chemistry was off the charts and each vulnerable moment we got, I was kicking my feet in joy.
This book was full of angst, so much so I read it in a day. It consumed me. Archer and London both kept each other in the dark about who they really are and obviously shit hit the fan when it all came out.
I honestly thought they weren’t going to be able to work it out. But thank god they did because I don’t want to live in a world where Archer and London aren’t together.
Don’t get me started on the spice ❤️🔥 Archer Sin you can talk dirty to me all day everyday.
I DEVOURED this book in one night. It’s so good, Luna has really just outdone herself, once again.
It’s clear from the start that London’s hard hitting journey becomes more daunting with each step she takes. Even in the face of fear, her determination to find safety doesn’t abate. London is willing to move forward without an ounce of knowledge of what is to come, with only the clothes on her back and the casts worn proudly, it shows that she is a force to be reckoned with.
Archer is an intense and powerful man who seems to have become a recluse after past events. Leaving him detached and alone, watching as the world around him passes by. He has a way of getting through barriers and seeing the world in a way that gives him control. But it seems London gives him a run for his money. I mean honestly, can anyone control a fierce red head??
The push and pull from London and Archer is vexing and euphoric. You can feel their passion, happiness, and pain with every word written. Archer is breaking down her walls piece by piece, and she is putting his heart back together.
3,5⭐️/5 До більше ніж середини книги мені було непогано, а потім почались якісь незрозумілі качелі і моменти де я персонажів тупо не розумію. То їм окей таке отут, тут він закатує істерику через щось, при тому що до цього нормально героїню не питався про її почуття, тощо. Мені б хотілось почути більше про минуле тієї ж Лондон, не тільки відголоски, а зібрати якусь цілісну картинку. Або ж дізнатись більше про іі синдикати, що існують. Напевне про них більше розповідатимуть в наступних книгах, але якщо рахувати цю як вступну, то це мало. Хіба що кожна книга з серії буде рахуватися як стенелон? Тоді в цьому має бути сенс
Коротше кажучи непогано, я чекатиму інших книг, але в вкінці дуже часто не розуміла вчинків персонажів, складалось враження що драма тут для драми (що напевне так і було)
HOT DAMN. And that’s for Archer, London, and even Grace, Leo.. and you know what ? Seven too at this point. These people are bad asses and H.O.T.T. I don’t care what anyone says, I am sucker for a dark and broody MMC. And a traumatized but bad ass FMC. And this exactly what I got. Archer makes me drool. I’m thinking of this one scene after their “first date” yeah that one. God damn. And London is sassy, snarky and strong AF. I love anything Luna writes. And I thought I had a favourite with Untamed Vixen but… GB3 is definitely my top 1 now. I loved this book so much I want moooore. 10000000/10 you should read it.
Star Rating: Solid 3* for now Genre: Dark Romance Notable themes: Stalking, Mafia, SPICE, Domestic Violence, Possession, Abuse, Violence, Death, etc. Romance Level: Extra spicy, Rough My personal take: I am so confused how I feel about this book, to be honest. It was wild. Not really my cup of tea, and the writing wasn't the best. But Archer...didn't hate him. I'm starting to judge my own character now. I'm a little afraid. Don't enjoy toxic relationships though y'all. You deserve better! Recommended for: Only those who are okay with toxcicity and aggressive spice Display Ideas: Mafia, Money, Dark Romance
