He made a deal with the devil to keep her.
Now he’ll destroy anyone who stands in his way.

From the moment Riven Kozlov laid eyes on Lakynn, he knew one

She belonged to him.

Not in some sweet, fairy tale way.

In the kind of way that burns the world. That breeds obsession. That ruined him for anyone else.

They were adopted by monsters. Not for love, but for control.
Riven was the muscle. Lakynn was the leverage.

He followed every command.
Buried every emotion.
Became exactly what they molded him to be in exchange for the only thing he ever wanted.

Lakynn would be his. To protect. To love. To keep.

Then they sent him away with the promise that she’d follow.
But deals mean nothing to people with bad intentions.

Instead, they’re offering Lakynn up to the highest bidder like she’s a prize to be won.

The only girl he’s ever lived for.
The only soul he’s tied to.

Now he’s coming to collect what belongs to him, and every person who had a hand in taking her away is about to pay with their life.


Remember the p$ycho who absolutely wrecked the ref so he could go home to get his girl? This is his story. Please note that Burn it Down is NOT enemies to lovers.

4.5 ✰

If u ever see me lost in thought, just know that I'm thinking about the part where her trained killer adopted brother comes barelling in the changing room (where she was in a wedding dress for the wedding her adoptive parents arranged) and growls, “Take. It. Off.” Then sets on fire their adoptive family and the asshole they were gonna married her to!!

“There’s never been anyone else. Not one. I didn’t touch anyone. I didn’t even look. It’s always been you, Lake. It will always only be you.”

He begs her to touch him too 🛐🛐🛐

“Please,” he whispers, eyes fluttering shut as he leans into my palm. “Touch me. Please.”

────୨ৎ────

Also guess what my fav character in her setting- TRISTAN has a FUCKIN' TWIN and he stalked a girl to Ireland.

This is too much!!! *bites my fist*

Why was this a copy-paste of the previous book? T_T

Literally everything was the same. A different MMC but the same personality. A different FMC but also the same personality. Even the shaboink scenes were the exact same.

"I haven't touched anyone else. I never fucking wanted to. I don't want anyone but her. And I never fucking will"

RIVEN THE MAN THAT YOU ARE 😭🤌🏼

I was so not ready for this lil gem. You don't find mmcs like this anymore; Riven would be willing to burn the world and kill anyone for Lakynn. Anyone. No one matters. Only her. And everything he's done has been for her.

This man breathes and dies for his woman, she is his number 1 priority and that is what i always look for in a romance.

100% safe, of course.
dual virgins 🥰 🥰


Personal note: I've been struggling with romances lately because mmcs sometimes seem to choose other people over fmcs. I hate that shit, which is why it means the world to me when we get a mmc who isn't interested in anyone else but her 🧎🏻‍♀️ 🧎🏻‍♀️


-----------

ok ok OK BUT the way Riven changed when Lakynn arrived at her adoptive home always hovering near her. GOD. THESE DETAILS

Spoilers below...


I can overlook the fact that Lakynn (18) never stands her ground when it comes to Riven (20), but that's only because he's a total goner for her. She was just like all the other FMCs I come across in dark romances who claim to hate (but really still love) the MMC but then give in so easily when he comes back into her life. 🤷‍♀️

Anywaaay, Riven's unhinged behavior and love for her were the highlights that made me enjoy this one. I really looove me a faithful, obsessed, devoted man who wouldn't hesitate to burn the world for his girl. 🤭💖 If this isn't your guy, then you're probably with the wrong person (jk). 🤣


Book info:
- Novella
- Dual V! 💕
- Forbidden-ish (Adopted siblings)
- Primal kink
- Breeding (🤏)
- Violence, murder
- No cheating, OW
- OM (Not really, she was engaged to him (by force) but Riven took care of him 😏)
- Separation (in the beginning, 6 mos)
- HEA (mos later???, married and living in Ireland)


PS. Not sure what to rate it, so I'm gonna leave it blank. 🤣

Very formulaic. The writing is perfunctory.

She belongs to me…on repeat.

I live for her…on repeat.

He left me…on repeat.

Good girl…on repeat.

No attempt at characterization, apart from he’s obsessed and she gets pouty and likes to be chased. He’s not too smart: he falls for his adopted father’s very obvious lie that if he turns into a killer, then leaves when he’s told to leave, he can have the FMC, his sole reason for breathing. She’s not too smart: when he returns to save her from marrying a toad, she sulks and runs away.

Casual violence, with a side gig of arson (they might have deserved it, but I didn’t need to watch it.)

I suppose if a reader just wants to scratch an obsessed killer itch, this novella gets down to business without a lot of frills. But I like frills, and this book contained zero fresh ideas or nuance or originality or even an interesting turn of phrase.

★★★★★. Thank you to the author, London for this ARC! Miss Snow you write anything and I’ll immediately read. The obsessive men you write are the best. The strong FMCS you write are EVERYTHING.

Riven and Lakynn are adopted siblings who immediately felt a connection when they met. Riven knew she was his and wasn’t letting anyone hurt or touch or speak to her in anyway shape or form. That was his woman and he was making sure everyone knew. Their parents didn’t love this so they had them separated leaving Lakynn to be alone and tossed into an arranged marriage. Well, once Riven found out they backed out of the deal, HE WAS GETTING HIS GIRL!

When I say Riven was obsessed I mean OBSESSSSSSSED. Lakynn was obsessed too yet more in a way of actually belonging to someone who just wanted her. She was so perfect and her watching him kill people and just standing there like a badass queen. Ugh love her.

For my safety people, completely safe. Riven is a virgin. Even during the separation he mentioned how it was only Lakynn or nobody. Lakynn is a virgin too. There is other man drama in the form of her fiancé but Riven and herself handle it.

Impatiently waiting for my mans Tristan book and hearing about his obsession from Riven’s pov was everything. UHM LONDON SNOW I NEED SEBASTIANS BOOK RIGHT NOW!

“You are all I’ve ever wanted,” she breathes out, barely words, but I hear every single one.”

“I love you, Lake," I grit out, pressing an open-mouth kiss to her neck. "You are the only fucking one I’ll ever love.”

ARC REVIEW ⭐️4.5 🌶️3

A sexy unhinged hockey foster brother obsessed with his foster sister ? 🧎🏾‍♀️red flags ? Girl what are those when you have a man that constantly tells you that you possess every fiber of his being👩🏾‍🦯‍➡️

Lakynn and Riven are so cute from the very beginning of this novella this man NEVER played about her and this fake ass family was sickkkkkk they couldn’t come between them until they did😪 . It’s okay tho because Riven came back and avenged his girl as he fucking should that’s a king right there👏🏾

Let’s talk about how Lakynn was a feisty fmc and I’ll forever give a book kudos for not having a weak ass fmc I need a strong girl that stand on business right alongside her man it was just chefs kiss🤭 my only con is that I wanted it to be longer lmaooo.


Some of my fav quotes/moments:

He’s looking at me like I’m it. The beginning and the end. Like I’m the only thing he ever needs to see again in this lifetime.

”Some things are just … embedded in our DNA. And chasing you, pinning you down and fucking you until you understand just how much you belong to me, that’s coursing through my veins.”

“I hope you realize that when this is over … when all of this is behind us … I’m going to spend every hour exploring every inch of you. You won’t get space. You won’t get alone time. You are my passion. My greatest desire. My only reason.”



(Thank you London bby for trusting me with one of your babies I always eat your books up and can’t wait for the next love you peaches💕)

This is a novella in the Castlebrook University series. I adored it as much as I adored Book 1.

Riven and Lakynn were adopted by a mafioso family to be used as pawns in their lives of crime. Riven to be trained as a hit man; Lakynn to be sold as a virgin to enhance their connections.

Love blooms between these two. Riven swears to always protect Lakynn. Their adopted father sensing his plans being jeopardised by Riven's possessiveness of Lakynn, sends him away to Castlebrook University. To convince him to leave, he promises him Lakynn. Lakynn is oblivious of this deal and thinks Riven has abandoned her.

When Riven realises that his adopted father double crossed him and is "selling" Lakynn to the highest bidder, he loses his ever hating mind and all hell breaks loose.

London Snow there is no book that you write that I won't read. Your books are absolute perfection!

“You’re mine,” he tells me. “No one else’s. No one touches you. No one even looks at you. I don’t know how to exist without you, Lakynn. I’ll make you see it. Feel it. You’ll never doubt it again. I won’t ever allow it.” My hand moves before I think. I reach up, almost instinctively, brushing away the blood on his face with the edge of my thumb. My skin drags across his cheekbone, gentle, careful, and then I freeze. What am I doing? It was this side of one day ago I was crying into my pillow over the very same boy standing in front of me right now. I try to pull away, but he catches my wrist in one swift movement. “Don’t,” he breathes. His grip is firm, but not painful. He brings my hand back to his face, holding it there like it’s the only thing keeping him together. “Please,” he whispers, eyes fluttering shut as he leans into my palm. “Touch me. Please.”

Something inside me splinters. I shouldn’t. I know I shouldn’t. But I can’t help it. I give in. I press my hand more firmly to his cheek, and he exhales like he’s waited lifetimes for this. His lips graze my palm. Then he turns my wrist and kisses the inside of it, slow and reverent. “I agonized dreaming of the way this would feel,” he says. “Me touching your face?” I ask, barely audible. His gray eyes flash up to mine. There are so many things swirling in their depths right now. Dark. Seductive. Needy. “I’ve thought about every inch of you a million times over. There is not one other thought inside my brain that isn’t related to you.” And just like that, I forget how to breathe.
____________________

I stare at her like I’ll never get enough. I won’t. There’s not a reality where this girl isn’t the entire center of my existence. I could breathe her in for the rest of my life and still feel like I’m starving.

Burn It Down by London Snow
4/5⭐
2/5🌶️

This novella is part of the Kings of Castlebrook series, but you can read it on its own! I’ve been tackling some pretty heavy books lately, so this one was the perfect palate cleanser. The story revolves around Lakynn and Riven, who are adoptive siblings. They were taken in by a wealthy and influential family during their teenage years. Right from the moment Riven first saw Lakynn, he was completely smitten with her, and they quickly became inseparable. But then one day, out of nowhere, Riven mysteriously left without saying goodbye.

What I love about Lakynn is that she’s got a backbone. When her adoptive parents try to force her into marriage, she stands her ground and fights for her freedom, even attempting to escape a few times. She’s such a fiery character, and I admire her spirit! Riven, on the other hand, is emotionless and unhinged; he doesn’t care about much except for Lakynn. Once he finds out she’s being forced to marry someone, he does everything he can to come back and protect her. He makes sure those who mistreated her pay for their actions.

The ending was so cute, and I loved it! Some side characters caught my interest, and I hope they get their own stories someday. If you’re in the mood for a spicy novella with a hero who’s obsessed and would do anything for his girl, then this book is definitely for you!

Burn it Down was a short novella in the Kings of Castlebrook series and I won’t lie, I wish it had been a full length novel. But we can’t always get what we want. Well unless you’re a London Snow hero apparently.

Riven and Lakynn have a chemistry that defies nature and when they’re separated and Lakynn is sold to the highest bidder, Riven will do whatever he has to do get his girl.

“You’re mine,” he tells me. “No one else’s. No one touches you. No one even looks at you. I don’t know how to exist without you, Lakynn. I’ll make you see it. Feel it. You’ll never doubt it again. I won’t ever allow it.”


Lakynn has only ever loved Riven and the two of them literally burn down their world to be together. I liked Lakynn but the story wasn’t long enough to really get a feel of her entire personality. And Riven was OTT and murderery but he loves his girl so 🤷🏻‍♀️. And Lakynn wanted him any way she could have him.

“I want you, Riven. Raw. Unfiltered. I want the real you.”


Short, sweet and steamy!! There’s so many characters I want stories for 😂😂.

I know this one is a novella, but there are so many details missing; I really don't feel comfortable with the idea that he got away with so many k**lings... how did he manage to do that? 👀

But these two were cute. Hope they'll appear in the next books in the series as well.

“There’s something you need to understand,” he says, gripping my jaw gently. His voice is low. “There’s never been anyone else. Not one. I didn’t touch anyone. I didn’t even look. It’s always been you, Lake. It will always only be you.”



Whew. This book is exactly why I love virgin heroes😍 If you’re looking for a quick read with an obsessed hero, virgin MCs and a taboo dark sports romance then this book is the one for you! London Snow is quickly becoming my favorite author of 2025 y’all😩 Can’t wait to read more of her books AAAAAHHHHH

Safety squad:

- no OW/OM drama
- no cheating/sharing
- taboo romance (adopted siblings)
- OTT J/P H
- hockey romance
- virgin MCs
- mentions of violence, human trafficking, forced marriage, abuse, murder, gore, etc so don’t forget to check the TWs!

"I fucking whimper. I’m a trained killer and here I am whimpering her name."

This had all the best tropes of book one plus great chemistry between the MCs!! A possessive V MMC who protects his lady at all costs wrapped into a spicey novella. This one made me super excited for Callums book too! Excited to get back into this world and read his and Lilacs story!

-6 month separation (no om/ow)
-possessive/obsessive mmc
-touch her and die
-novella (~100 pgs)
-dual V
-he literally goes on a murder spree to exert revenge on her behalf lol

Usually 3 stars for me means I didn’t like it but that’s not the case here. I just couldn’t give it anymore stars because I needed it to be longer. We were told so many things rather than being shown and I feel like if this were more fleshed out it would be a 5 star read.

I did like the characters. Riven is unhinged and if you touch Lake you literally die. I liked that Lakynn had a smart mouth on her. I loved when she talked back. I just don’t get why she would run toward the place she was trying to get away from, that’s the only part that didn’t make sense to me. Again I just wish we had some more info in this book. Would have been cute to have some flashbacks of them even though I usually don’t like those. They weren’t together for long enough in the book. There’s like 30 minutes left when they find each other again and as obsessed as he is I needed to see them together more. Anyway looking forward to the rest of the series.

“I want someone who looks at me like I’m the only oxygen in the room.”

Getting to go back to the world that London Snow is building was chefs kiss. It may have only been a novella but I’ve been missing this world and ate this book up.

Lakynn and Riven were everything I needed them to be. They both were completely obsessed with each other and I go feral for a man who is disgusted with the thought of another woman touching them besides their woman.

The absolute possessiveness these characters had over each other, perfect. I love nothing more than to read about an MMC who is absolutely unhinged that anyone even looking at the FMC has them plotting revenge. This novella was the definition of if he wanted to he would and yes, he would burn the world for her.

If you're in need of an insanely unhinged, OTT, obsessed hockey player, then this is PERFECT for you. Riven is actually psychotic... and I love him for it. London literally writes the most DOWN BAD, obsessive men and it's exactly what I want. He literally burned IT down for her. 👌

This definitely went in a much darker direction than I was expecting but I can't say im at it. I could have read a full length book about them honestly. I feel like we got to meet some new characters that *hopefully* will be getting their own stories! 🫶

Lakynn knows what she has in Riven. She makes him with for it, and she uses his skill set and she isn’t afraid of it or him. She is just as freak got him as he is for her.

siento que fue muy simple y sé que es una novela corta, pero quería más intensidad. aunque se expande el universo de esta autora, me hubiera gustado que ellos también estuvieran en la misma universidad. no sé qué más decir, solo que me gusta que sus protagonistas masculinos tienden a ser obsesivos, posesivos y vírgenes 😏🤌🏻 y solo por estas cosas las seguiré leyendo

This was such a great little novella! Riven and Lakeynn have been adopted by the Kozlov family but they are far from anything remotely resembling siblings. They’ve had this intense pull towards each other since the first time meeting and Riven has taken on role of protector to her, he’s absolutely obsessed with her and feels like the world isn’t right without her. What neither of them realises is that their adoptive dad is using them both as pawns.. which leads to some very unhinged moments by Riven. Especially after he gets sent away to Castlebrook without Lakeynn. He’s away for 6 months on the premise that he’ll be able to return to her once he’s done what his dad asks…. Although it doesn’t exactly pan out like that!
He will literally burn it all down to keep Lakeynn safe, and he really means it. Lakeynn has always wanted Riven and no one else and when the moment happens that he claims her as his? Epic! I love the way London rights her men obsessed to the oblivion - they’re always such a fun read and completely morally grey but SO SO good! 😊
Another great read, if you want something that you can knock out in a couple of hours because you physically cannot put it down, this novella is for you!

This was cute, and had some “awwwwhs” for me 🩷

This tale is about adopted siblings, who fight to be together again after some… circumstances.




🤣 moment:
H about book 1 H “he’s the resident crash out” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 lol no lies detected buddy.


🩷’d:
•glimpses of their innocent love before the separation
•I loooved how the h had gumption, fire, and did all that was within her power not to conform
•H “There is not one other thought inside my brain that isn’t related to you.” ❤️
•the chase🥵



⚠️ + Info:
— Dual POV
— Instalove
— Both virgins🍒
— Separation for 6 months (idk but I really feel like my mans could’ve given her a heads up but hey… it added some angst)
— OMD: h is being forcibly married off to OM
— Push away from h (not really, 3 pages or more like seconds honestly)
— No: OWD, sharing, cheating, or 3rd act break up
— HEA: Happily married.🩷


P.S. ehem miss Author can we get some extended epilogues.. I’m not one to say this, but where the kids at??? You can’t have these men talk about breeding and there’s no offspring gurl.
