"Traitor."

That was my last thought before darkness took over.

Now, I've just woken up in the hospital and realized that one of the men I love put me here. Rush is a member of the Trilogy, and there's nothing I can do to bring him back.

Meanwhile, Dante has risen from the dead to take over the city and he has my father on his side.

A new war is coming and Nico, Beck, Sophie, and I are ready to throw everything we have at defeating them before they destroy the city.

It's the eleventh hour and we're losing, but I've never been one to go down without a fight.

Contains mature themes.

Damned Souls is the final book in the now completed The Gentlemen series and picks right up from where Thieves Honor ended.

I enjoyed the first two books, but this final instalment of Raegan's story was a bit disappointing. It really could have been a duet, wrapped up sooner and been much less repetitive.

The pacing was off, and it was padded with a lot of unnecessary dialogue and exposition - I know this because I skipped chucks and chapters haphazardly but kept track of the story with no problems.

Still, if you're here for spice and hot male characters, you've come to the right place. Also, the nicknames for the fmc were top tier in this series, too - 10/10.

Overall not terrible, but I feel like it happens a lot in spicy series, particularly why choose, where book one is strong, book two is okay but book three ends up being filler and pointless plot twists before an anti-climatic ending. This book also featured the obligatory heavy-handed hint at a follow-up series featuring the sister, Sophie - can I be arsed? Not really.

The only reason I'm giving this a 2 and not a 1 is because the smutt is top tier, however this was such a dissapointing way to finish a series. The first 2 books were so amazing and so good and this last one was going so well untill the last 15%, everything was rushed through and not explained well, and the ending was so rushed and just didn't feel thought through. It's obvious that it was just being told this way to lead to a spin off series which is really frustrating, because I wanted more of a ending and final moments with Rae and the boys and you just don't get that at all. Just tarnished the whole series for me, am so gutted.

Overall, I really enjoyed this third and final book, and I enjoyed the series as a whole. It was a fun, action-packed, fast-paced series with an interesting plot, great characters, and fantastic writing. It was addicting to read, and I’ll likely reread it once the next series is complete, because as far as action/suspense, gang-life RHs go, it was awesome😆. But… the ending could have been a lot better, more thought out, and not so rushed; it really missed the mark for me and was my biggest complaint/issue with this.😩

I loved the first book (5 stars) but was left somewhat disappointed by the second book (3 stars; still enjoyed it, though), so I was thrilled this made up for book two🤩. It was a wild ride and had a lot of the same energy as book one, which I loved, because said energy was missing in book two (and thus had me a little worried about book three tbh). But, thankfully, book three made up for it in terms of character development, relationship development, flow and pacing, romance/intimacy, group activities😏, and filling in plot holes and providing answers (yay!).

The thing I loved most about this series was the characters: Raegan, Nico, Beck, and Rush (and even Sophie in this last book). I loved them, their chemistry, and their personalities❤️. I was invested in them from the beginning and loved the character and relationship development they had, especially in this book (for me, this is what was missing in book two). Especially with Nico. He was my favorite (hands-down); this book made sure of it! I LOVED his character growth, humor, personality, and banter in this and wish there had been more chapters in his POV, because they were my favorite😄. He really delivered in this (finally)👏🏻. I get why his growth and relationship development with Raegan was slow and held off until this last book, but I wish it had happened sooner, because he was so great and stole the show. Loved him!🥰

I also loved how this set up Sophie’s series. She really grew on me in this, which was a pleasant surprise, because I didn’t like her in the first two books. She showed a lot of growth and maturity in this (which I loved) and didn’t annoy me as much🙌🏻 (well except for the cafe and necklace things; I’m not sure why she decided to keep and wear it😑). I especially loved the “friendship” that developed between her and Nico. Their banter and scenes together were amusing and added something special to the story. Like I said, Nico’s character was pure gold.😍

Raegan, Beck, and Rush were also great. Raegan annoyed me in book two with her dumb decisions, immaturity, and extreme stubbornness🤦🏻‍♀️. In a way, she reminded me more of book-one Raegan in this, which I loved. She showed a lot of growth and self-awareness (yay!) and was of course still a badass😌. Beck was as lovable and charming as ever. He was Raegan’s hype man and number one fan, and I loved that about him. I was bummed Rush kind of took a backseat in this, but I understood why, as the focus was on Nico and his relationship with Raegan for awhile. Because of that, things did feel a little unbalanced, but it made sense why, so I was able to overlook it and just go with it.

Up until the last 30% or so, I was thinking this would be a 5-star read for me. I really wanted it to be, but unfortunately, it fell short in a few places. Book two left me with A LOT of questions and confusion. Like a lot. More than I’m used to in a book, so my expectations for Damned Souls were high. It needed to accomplish and explain A LOT, and for the most part, it did. Things started adding up and making more sense as the story progressed, and it was checking most of my boxes. But, unfortunately, some things still left me feeling confused and disappointed. And maybe some things were left this way because they’ll be answered and explored more in Dante’s series idk. But the way everything was wrapped up wasn’t as satisfying as I wanted it to be. I feel like it was rushed and focused too much on setting up Dante’s series toward the end and ending this series in a to-be-continued-in-Dante’s-series type of way, which irritated me, because I wanted more closure for Raegan, Nico, Beck, and Rush, what they had been through, and their story. I definitely think this could have tied things up better and answered more questions (mainly about Dante; I really thought there would be more to his and Nico’s confrontation toward the end, but it was rather brief and underwhelming😕), because some of it didn’t make sense, especially when I think about everything that had happened since book one. Some things still didn’t add up or were left too unresolved and up in the air idk.🤔 There were just too many remaining plot holes for my liking.

Also, I’m a HUGE fan of MM, and I love when RHs have MM. It makes things more believable, interesting, balanced, and compelling when the MMCs are in the relationship for each other and the FMC rather than just for the FMC. And I love love and just want everyone to love each other and be a big, happy, found family.😊 But, for me, the MM between Beck and Rush felt forced. It came out of nowhere in book two, and I feel like this was something that should have been evident from book one and not just during sex scenes in book two and three. There was no setup or conversation about it, so it felt kind of cheap. I was wanting more intimacy and connection between them😭. Or at least some discussions. But I guess it’s understandable that it was maybe just due to circumstance, being in the moment, and them being comfortable with exploring their sexuality with Rae there. But, I still would have liked it to have been discussed at least once to know everyone was on the same page and what their feelings were about it. Personally, I would have preferred them to have had a MM relationship since the beginning before Rae came into the picture, but that’s just me.😁

Another thing that kind of bothered me was the MCs never discussed their relationship as a group. Everything was just assumed, inferred, or left open to interpretation, which I get, because none of them were great with talking about themselves or their feelings. Things/feelings were only ever discussed one-on-one between the guys and Rae. I would have liked a few scenes between all four of them where they bonded more, discussed things, and checked in with each other (and/or some scenes just between the guys.) It felt like the only scenes between all four of them were the sex and car scenes. I was also a little bummed there wasn’t more to Nico and Raegan’s scenes/conversations. There was still some miscommunication and reading between the lines there, which again, I get, because of their personalities. But I mean… she took a bullet for him and almost died, and they both showed so much growth, so I was expecting a little more depth/emotion/vulnerability/open communication between them. Idk. It just left me wanting more.🙃

I almost feel like there needs to be a fourth book, because, to me, this really didn’t seem like a final book. It was still a fun read, though. I enjoyed it, and it kept my attention. I’m looking forward to Sophie and Dante’s series. Hopefully, some of my lingering questions will be answered and we’ll get plenty of Raegan, Nico, Rush, and Beck cameos.🤞🏻

OKAY 🥵
This book concludes The Gentlemen trilogy and it tied everything together perfectly. & what a ride! The surprises in this book were bond blowing and I loved every second of it.

Rush. Gah. He had his heart on his sleeve in this book and seeing him so vulnerable was a sight to see.

Nico is the perfect mafia boss and his character growth in this book was top notch 👌🏼

Rae is such a force and we continue to see that in this book. She’s fierce, badass, and just a take-no-shit kind of girl. She’s basically everything we strive to be.

Beck has always held a special part of my heart since the very beginning. He’s a big ole teddy bear. I love his goofiness and protectiveness of Rae.

Lastly… Sophie… girl. I’m ready for you.

— 𝟐.𝟕𝟓 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐬 ★ ★ ☆ ☆ ☆

◦•●◉✿ 𝐃𝐚𝐦𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐬 ✿◉●•◦

𝐑𝐚𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐧 𝐎’𝐑𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐤𝐞 (h), has just been shot my Rush because he switched over to The Trilogy to be a spy. However, no one told her what was happening or that Nico had a vest to protect him from Rush’s bullet. Now it’s up to her, Beck and Nico to end The Trilogy but it gets difficult when many people defect and they start becoming outnumbered. When the identity of The Hatter is revealed, it changes everything and now they want to understand why he hates them the way he does, and possibly deescalate the situation.

◦•●◉✿ 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 ✿◉●•◦

I felt a bit disappointed by the ending, hence the rating, it just smoothed over way too quickly with Dante being alive and getting turned into the police? It felt TOO easy, especially with how powerful he was and he didn’t even challenge it. There are still many questions left, but I’m sure it will be answered in Sophie’s books but Rae, Nico, Rush and Beck didn’t exactly get a “closure” ending, it was very open-ended and the time jump made me disconnect from them a bit.

Also, Jimmy not being Rae’s introduced in the third book felt like A LOT considering there wasn’t much time to fully process it. All of a sudden Rick is her father and they have one moment where they talk about it and then he’s sacrificing himself to save them … that did hurt actually. I just didn’t like how everything was handled in terms of taking down The Trilogy and how it all happened near the end of the book and called it a day by the final chapter.

◦•●◉✿𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 ✿◉●•◦

They all said “I love you” and it wasn’t exactly romantic but I didn’t expect that from them. It was straightforward as if Rae should have already known that they did. She spent more time with Nico and Beck while Rush was away with The Trilogy but they all found their balance as he came back. Nico had no concerns with sharing and he’s very dominant, where he likes her to be more submissive and reluctantly she relents that power when she’s with them. There was also a M/M scene between Beck and Rush which they still NEVER address after. Is it only going to occur inside the bedroom with Rae OR do they feel something there? It was brushed over and they really ignore it right after it happens and Nico is just there 🧍🏽‍♀️. I had no problem with it, I just wanted some conversation to occur so it wouldn’t feel so random.

Nico is as possessive as always and Rae always tells him to back off when he’s getting too controlling (which I love about her) because she KNOWS she would leave if he was being too demanding. All three are hardcore Rae protectors and they feared her tendencies to act like Book 1 & 2 Rae because they didn’t want her to get hurt but that was pretty difficult because that’s who she is. Beck is still 💯 flirty and ALL of them ask for consent for whatever they’re doing which is pretty rare in dark romance (the bare minimum but rare).

Rae saved Rush TWICE so maybe she’s HIS protector. She kept proving again and again that she would die for them and vise versa, so I did love them but the plot fell flat after a while. They just weren’t giving the same angst they did in the first few books. The group scenes were ❤️‍🔥 so yeah that was fun, I was just like Soph rooting for Rae and her guys. Tell me why I loved when they were still enemies though 🫣 it just made it interesting when they knew it was forbidden. Then again, she kept almost dying and that really opened their eyes to how they weren’t willing to lose her.

𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐥, I still loved the books but this was didnt end how I was anticipating so I didn’t love it AS MUCH. It was still good, but not enough to stay in the universe and read Soph’s books.

Ok, so I have thoughts.
Firstly dont let the 2*s fool you, this is by no means a bad book, the series is enjoyable and I recommend it to any rh lover. That doesn't mean it's without fault tho.

What im saying here applies only to this book in the series, the other 2 are rated higher because they have less faults. First off the pros are weak... you can't fault it too much for this tho because it's 1st person and 99% of first person book have weak pros, its kne of the manylimitationsofwritingin 1st. The pacing is way off in this book, and not only is it incredibly repetitive, we also have alot of exposition. What I liked about the previous 2 books was that although they had smut they also had really intriguing plot points and characters, this book unfortunately failed to balance those things, and as a result we have more smut than action, and the action we do have is a rehashing of situations that we've seen before. My final and biggest critique is that in book 1 &2 we spend a fair amount of time examining different characters and how they react, grow and change in different situations. In this book you would expect to see character growth alongside the shifting dynamic, and there was a little, but I would have liked if we got to see the characters grow a bit more, because, in my opinion the character growth is not proportional to the dynamic shift.

I'm really excited to see if/how these authors grow, because I think they have alot of potential.

I loved the first two books in this series but this one didn't get me the same way. There were too many plot twists, the whole plot seemed rushed and like it was missing something, and the smut scenes often seemed like they were just shoved into any random part of the book as opposed to a natural flow as a result of how the characters are feeling, what they are going through, etc. Ultimately, not a bad book, but I guess I just had higher expectations for the ending to this amazing story.

I REALLY wanted to like this book but dang it just fell so flat for me. The whole thing was meh, but honestly the ending was one of the least climactic SERIES endings I’ve read in a long time. And they tried to get us into the spin off before they’d even finished this series and it just fell flat in pretty much everything for me.

Ok so…I feel like this book maybe had too many trigger warnings and not enough content to fulfill those warnings? Does that even make sense?
The TWs were a bit misleading, as was the note from the authors, in my opinion.
They said there’d be blood play and way more smut and that the MM content would ramp up. All of like to say is: Where?

There was no blood play between characters, the only blood that was ever present was their enemies and they didn’t do anything with it in a sexual way so…
The smut was pretty much the same level through the whole series. The only difference being that Nico Nico only gave in in the second book and Rush was away for most of this book so threesomes were the main attraction for most of the series until they were all together again and we got a couple foursomes. Though the dynamic really didn’t change with the added person, so I’d still say it was at the same level.
The the MM stuff.
There were Maybe three things that happened and they were all along the same line.
Beck and Rush. Rush sucked Becks fingers clean after he’d had them inside Rae. They kissed. And Beck gave Rush a BJ one and a half times. I’d hardly call that full on MM. that was basically just a little play during the moment.

And the plot.
It sort of just imploded after the second book.
I really thought there’d be some big reveal in the third book and there’d be this big drama unfolding at the end, but nope. Not really.

I really did like the characters and their relationships and all the smut, but I was expecting more and I’m kind of disappointed with the way it all just ended.

Well kids, here we are. I almost DNF’d at 20% because I was so bored of the same story. I ended up switching off the audio and reading instead so I could skim.

We now know who the Hatter is. That part did surprise me, but now it’s just a disappointment. Why? Because we never find out the reason why. The big reveal is flat and then everything just ends, and you’re supposed to read Sophie’s book to find out the answers. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. I was so pissed off.

I’ll give you an update on the sex, but I’m done with this story.

SEX: Considering this is the final book, you’d think the author would finally deliver us some good action…… NOPE. First time with Guy 3 is at 34% and it’s disappointing considering all the buildup. First ass tap with Guy 2 at 54%. Seriously – Book 3 is almost over and we’re just now getting here? At 63% there’s actually front & back entrance action with an oral scene. That’s the one and only time. WHAT KIND OF REVERSE HAREM IS THIS. The guys do suck each other again but that’s it – no ass tapping between the guys. Such a freaking disappointment.

This is the 3rd & final book in the gentleman series.

TROPES: mafia, RH w/ MM sexual content in books 2 & 3, darker themes check TW

What a ride. I can’t believe the gentlemen series is over! Rae, Beck, Rush & Nico gave me such a journey. Overall I really enjoyed this series. The plot continued to keep me guessing & I liked that some things I truly wasn’t expecting to happen. It was a solid way to round out this group & all the drama that happened.

My only two caveats with this one was one, I felt the book kind of dragged on a little bit plot wise for me. I just found myself wishing things would pick up a tad bit.

Secondly, I’m okay with MM relations in RH or poly romances when the emotional connection is already there or it truly develops & it’s obvious that it is. However, the MM content was a tad out of the blue with this one. I felt like the MM content in book 2 I enjoyed because of the circumstances of how it came about. The scenes in this book specifically I felt like just didn’t make sense. The two involved did not have any previous relations or emotional feelings in that way with each other (besides one scene from book 2) & I honestly felt it just took away from their relationship with Rae. There was no real build up of their relationship escalating in that way & It completely changes the dynamic of the group when MM is introduced. I just didn’t vibe with how this one was done.

I also felt like the “Jesus Christ” moments happened way too much through out the book. It got a bit repetitive for me.

Regardless of my thoughts on that, the spice was still written VERY WELL & the chemistry between Rae & her men are off the charts. I still enjoyed them, I still loved all the men did for her & their passion for her. 🥵

If you like mafia & RH romances with strong heroines then I do recommend this trilogy.

I found myself skimming a few times during this one which made me sure that it would've worked better as a duet. The conclusion was rushed and unsatisfying - it wasn't fleshed out, which is unexpected considering it's a trilogy and each book is a decent length (375-425 pages, I think?). Also, the scenes that included MM (Rush and Beck) seemed out of character for them since there wasn't any hint of a sexual connection between them.

I was really looking forward to this final book, but it lacked something. It wasn’t as dark as I was expecting, and it was incredibly slow in some parts. The ending was cute though and I’ll be checking out the spin-off because despite everything, I fell in love with these characters.

This is a fantastic book to wrap up the series. I devoured this book. There wasn’t a boring moment. I listened to this audiobook in one sitting.

Out of everyone, I loved seeing the change in Nico, which was the most in this book.

Enjoy!

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC for this book.

I've been waaaaaaiting for the 3rd book to drop. and wow. Talk about action packed. the final conclusion to the gentlemen series and it takes off right after the last book. I can say I'm happy with with the conclusion and the HEA that follows. There wasn't a dull moment with these guys and the SMUTTTTTTT. *chef kiss* if i had 1 complain that would be i wish the smut was longer and more detailed lmao. (but thats just me)

I loved seeing nico come outta his cold hard shell when it came to rae, beck and rush. AND EVEN WITH SOPHIE. like who would have thought LOL. And to see sophie grow into her own person and not be compared to rae was great to see. ( FYI, she has her own book coming out!!!)

If you love RH, some funny banter, a badass female heroine and 3 love sick puppy dogs *ahem* men i mean then this is your book, not just book but series!!

book 5/5
spice 4/5

What an ending!

Just when I thought the other books were spicy, this one tops all. Nico, Beck and Rush will make you hardcore blush and that's an understatement. I couldn't get enough of these three. 🥵

Rae is definitely one of my top favorite heroines. Her strength and determination was so admirable... I would also love to be in her position. 👀

Kate and Jessa are a force to be reckoned with. You'll be on the edge of your seat with the way they keep you so invested in the story they've created. If you haven't started this series yet, what are you waiting for?? I'm so ready for Sophie's story!

I actually enjoyed this trilogy... but it should have been a duet - if it would have wrapped up sooner and been slightly less repetitive and far fetched on the mafia front, it would have been a solid 4 stars.

3.5 stars. Review for the whole series — this is a good RH trilogy with 20something characters, a criminal underworld setting, and a “tough girl” type heroine who is not irritatingly over the top, for the most part. I wouldn’t say it’s fantastic, but it’s above average.

I gave it 3.5 stars because Reagan is too passive as a heroine — much more passive than she should be, considering the fact that she's a professional thief with a host of other skills! She does her gangster dad’s bidding without question when he’s obviously evil. And, she doesn’t even try to escape her situation when she’s stuck living with her rival gang for unknown reasons. This would be less annoying if she wasn’t constantly thinking about being bored and why everyone was keeping info from her — but, the fact that she WAS thinking about those things drew attention to the fact that the story was kind of spinning its wheels in that area.

The plot gets repetitive after a while, especially in this final book, with Reagan and her guys going to a location, getting shot at or almost blown up, retreating, rinse and repeat. And the ending is anticlimactic, since the villain doesn’t get any comeuppance — because clearly, he’s going to be in a spinoff series about Reagan's sister, Sophie. But as a result, a LOT feels unresolved with him (also, it's weird that the villain will be one of Sophie's heroes in her spinoff, since he was in love with her dead brother! And that was seemingly his entire motivating factor!).

But the world is fun, the characters are all good, and the guys are all likeable, so that counts for a lot. Beck is probably the most interesting one, because usually the fun and lighthearted guy and the most violent guy are not the same character, so that felt somewhat different from other books. Rush is great too. The MM action between them felt a bit random, as if the authors threw it in more because they wanted it to be there rather than anything that felt like it was building naturally between Rush and Beck, but whatever.

It’s not exactly unique, but it's a smooth, easy read with no frills, and it's enjoyable. This trilogy isn’t the best in the RH genre with 20something characters and Crime Stuff as the plot. (It doesn’t reach the heights of Bea Paige’s “Academy of Stardom” series). But it’s got a less irritating heroine and a more coherent story than “Madison Kate” by Tate James, and it’s less sloppy and quirky than “The Harlequin Crew” by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti, though it has some similarities to both of those series.

Especially since this seems to be the authors’ first series, they have a lot of potential. I will read the spin-off when it comes out.

I had two larger issues with this book. The first, the way that Niko and Sophia bickered back and forth, the authors made it feel like there was some enemies to lovers BS going on in the background. I know that it was probably supposed to portray the fact that although they were married at one point, there was nothing between them. it didn't come across that way. The emotion seemed to run high with them and it built tension between the two and not in a good way. The second is that the reader more than likely knows at this point that the reason that Dante wants to kill Niko is because of the leak in his and Marcus's getaway. For three books, he has been coming after them relentlessly because someone leaked the info and got Marcus killed. And by the end of the third book, we still don't know who leaked the info and caused the huge turf war battle thing. I loved the first book, but the shine had worn off the series for me by book three.

✨BOOK REVIEW✨

Damned Souled by Kate King & Jessa Wilder
3rd and final book in the now completed Gentleman Series

I was fortunate enough to have been chosen for an ARC for all 3 books in this series. My very first ARC’s, at that (very exciting moment for me). This series is incredible. I don’t have enough words in my vocabulary to really portray how amazing this ride was. Damned Souls takes the cake for the best book in this series! The plot is incredible. There is so much to wrap up and process through the whole series, and Damned Souls does an excellent job giving you the answers you’ve been waiting for!

The character growth and development really comes together as well. Rae learns she’s found her family in Nico, Rush, and Beck and knows she doesn’t want to live without them. Sophie is learning the ropes of mafia life as well, and I cannot wait for her story!

Let’s not forget about the most important part of this book though, the spice! 🥵 CHEFS KISS 👩🏼‍🍳🤌🏼👄 For real, y’all. I have never read such hot group scenes in my life. 🔥 Hot. Damn. I need these men in my real life. If someone finds a way to make that happen, I’m still calling dibs on Beck.

Bravo to the authors on a knock out first series! These ladies will be ones to watch in the book community and I can’t WAIT to follow their journey!

Y’all hype this up because it deserves more attention!

good but not great

TW: attempted SA

Actual - a very low 3

I’m so bummed. This was one of my anticipated reads of the year, and it just didn’t hit the mark.

You could tell it lost the spark the other two books in this series had. The pacing was off, the repetitiveness, and the character development that was completely out of left field (Nico???) it took me two weeks to finish instead of a day like the previous two.

I enjoyed this series and fully recommend it to anyone looking for a RH mafia, but the finale felt very lacklustre.

“You’re ours, Little Thief. To possess, consume, own, just like you do us.”

The way book two ended I had my theories how book three would start. I was accurate in my guess, but there were plenty other plot lines to keep me intrigued. I do wish that some of those plot lines were given a little more time and not quite so rushed at the end - but I still enjoyed this ride. The spice in this one definitely kicked up and we got some group scenes. This was a fun why choose mafia series. I wish there was a spin off series to answer more questions.

Man oh man what a wild ride! Ugh I could not put this story down! This is totally a top read of 2022 for me so freaking good! Rae is such a bad ass even after everything that happened to her she never quiets! Nico Rush and Beck all make up the perfect boyfriend! Slow clap for Jessa and Kate, they totally out did themselves with this series! 10/10 for me! 5 plus stars! This had the perfect amount of action , twist and turns! It totally keeps you on your toes!

HOLY HOT FUCK!

Lemme tell y’all I LIVED for this.

I know everyone loves Beck & Rush but MY BABY Nico holds the key to my chastity belt. PLEASE COMMAND ME. TELL ME WHAT TO DO GOOD SIR. 🧎🏼‍♀️🧎🏼‍♀️🧎🏼‍♀️🧎🏼‍♀️🧎🏼‍♀️

Okay … but really I do love them all lol

Y’all already know how I feel about my badass bitch Raegan. I also love her SOMETHING FIERCE.

I died all the dead’s at the end of Thieves’ Honor.. it nearly fucking DESTROYED ME. I threw my kindle and had a hissy fit like a child lol so this picking up right where that one left off was key for me. I NEEDED ALL THE DETAILS. And I’m so happy we got them.

The twists in this story made my head spin. TRULY. So many times I found myself WHAT THE FUCK-ING. This wrapped up beautifully. We got all of our questions answered and then some.

What a ride it’s been. I miss those fuckers already. One of my favorite series of all time! Kate & Jessa Kudos to you! Y’all rocked your first series hardcore!

5/5 ⭐️ 4/5 🌶 - those MM scenes were 👅

Oh yeah BTW - that last line.. for Sophie……. Yeah I’m ready and waiting!!!! I CAN’T WAIT FOR HER STORY!

So good. Sad it's over. Glad there was a HEA. I really thought everyone was going to die in the final battle. There were information gaps in the stories. Things mentioned never flushed out but there is a spin off for the sister coming out later this year so maybe more answers will come thru that story .

Sexy times

If you like a lot of sexy times...the this is the book for you. I personally liked boon two more. Yes, there was action, but it just didn't work for me. Really looking forward to the next series.

Damn, I am kind of dissapointed in this one..the first two books, where just so damn good, and I felt like this one just kind of dragged..
The plot never felt like it was moving, it was just going in circles until we got to the crescendo at the end.

The characters felt a little off to.. idk, just a lot fo things felt a little of to me about this one.. well well, I finished it at least, so there's that.
