Vicious Debt

by Jess Peters

They say I owe a debt. And they’re coming to collect.

The Royal Gang wants revenge. The Downtown Bridge Crew wants control. Tiger wants obedience. And every one of them thinks I’m the weakness in this Crew.

But they forget who stands beside me.

This war runs deeper than territory. It cuts through loyalty, love, and everything we’ve bled for.
And if they want to take me, they’ll have to break all four of them first.

This one? It’s chaos, loyalty, and raw emotion all colliding at once and I felt every second of it.

Cass is no longer the girl being pulled into this world… she stands in it. And when everything starts falling apart when the danger isn’t just outside the Crew but creeping in from every direction you really see what she’s made of. She doesn’t sit back. She doesn’t wait. She fights. And I loved that shift in her.

Frankie though… This book hits differently for him. You see cracks. You see vulnerability in a way that makes his usual dominance feel heavier, more human. It’s not just about power anymore it’s about survival, pride, and the kind of emotional damage that doesn’t just disappear once the physical danger is over.

And the Crew? The tension inside that circle is thick. Loyalty gets tested, trust gets shaken, and not everyone comes out unscathed. The dynamic between them is messy, intense, and honestly a little addictive to watch unravel. The love here isn’t soft, it's possessive, protective, and sometimes destructive in the way only dark romance can deliver.

What really stood out to me was how this book leans into the emotional aftermath just as much as the action. It’s not just about rescue and revenge it’s about what happens after. The fear. The anger. The way trauma lingers and changes everything.

This one definitely raises the stakes for the series. It’s darker, heavier, and way more emotionally charged.

As always be mindful of trigger warnings, what I like you may not.
Happy Reading!

Jess why the heck are you playing with my emotions like this. So this is fhe third book in the series and trust me when I say it getting even juicier. I really love how the relationships are unfolding with Cassie and each of her handsome guys. They are trying really hard to navigate their new dynamics while also dealing with multiple threats coming from all sides. They are at war with not one but two enemies plus Frankie's father is the biggest thorn in their sides. I really love the spice, all of the intense drama, the suspense and the twists. So deliciously written and equally as good. I totally cant get enough of these characters and their story. I am once again left wanting more and needing to know what happens next in book 4!

Third in the series and it just keeps getting better & better, the plot just keeps growing With all the threats after threat and then all the dramas of Cass and her relationships with Frankie, Joe, Ash and Chris. Cass’s growing feelings for each of the guys and figuring out how they will all work with a possessive Frankie is very difficult. Trying to figure out their relationship situation while there are threats with two other rivals has emotions running high. But boy oh boy does it get hot and spicy between all five of them, four guys with one girl, whew!! Then of course here comes another situation that leaves in a cliffhanger.. Can’t wait!! 💕🩷

holly shit! How can you play with my emotions this much. What a Book! I loved it so much! The third Book was amazing. I like Cass and Frankie soooo much. They are so good together. Also what the hell is wrong with me? I liked… Tiger???? But yeah i admit i kind of start to like him a lot? Weird for sure. The other guys are also such strong characters. Joe disappointed me tho. I would have expect this behavior of everyone but him. But its good they got over it. The real Problem now is ? How can i wait for Book 4, when it doesnt have a Title? Very Very Good love it so much!

Vicious Debt by Jess Peters is the third book in the Riverside Docks Crew series. I really enjoyed reading this installment of the series. Four alpha men and the one at the center of it all.

Book three is very spicy with a lot of revelations and some sweet stuff thrown in. Lots of action, some family drama and a plot with plenty of twists. Ready for book 4.
