Lori Boone has always been unapologetically and shamelessly himself.
Petite, with soft curls and plump lips, he's often underestimated. Until he parts those lips and the sassiness comes out. He thrives in uncomfortable situations and plots petty revenge in his free time. Facts that don't change even when he starts working for a prestigious law firm and under Gabriel Reed, his best friend's brother-in-law.
Tailored three-piece suits, perfectly styled blond hair, demanding presence, and cold stare. My boss. Ugh.
Well, he's my boss's boss's boss, so I don't see him much. But when we do cross paths... nothing. He barely acknowledges me despite my repeated attempts to get under his skin. I'm head-turning gorgeous, catching his sharp, silver eyes shouldn't be this hard.
I don't hide my deep dislike for him, and my outrageous antics should get me fired, but they barely illicit a reaction. Everything changes after I stalk him—it has become a hobby of sorts—and end up drugged, desperate, and in need of rescue, only to be saved and more by... Gabe!
I know. Bonkers, right?
Even more if you add to the mix my tendency toward sexsomnia and his multiplicity, things that set our worlds on fire.
I always thought I'd never settle for one man. More than one? Too crowded. But what if two men share one body? They might be exactly what I need.
This is not a sci-fi angel story, unless you see eager vigilantes with a dark side as angels. This is an action-packed, dark, enemies-to-lovers romance with an HEA. It features an impish, unapologetically sassy, persistent twink and an unfazed, controlled lawyer boss with multiplicity.
Morality's grey area is quite stretched in this story. There is one dub-con scene between the MCs when one of them is drugged, and a scene with sexsomnia. There is also violence, blood, torture (only of very bad people), dark humor, a band of foster brothers ready to help, and very bad driving.
This is book four in the Angels of Wrath series. Each book follows a different couple.

About the author
Paulina Ian-Kane
17 books375 followersI can't remember a time when I wasn't reading a book. Whether it was sci-fi, romance or a detective story didn't matter, because it was the perfect way to escape from reality for a little while. When I wasn't reading, I was imagining my own stories, and after a while I started writing them, hoping to give other people that little escape I still enjoy so much.
My books are full of dark humor, spicy kinky scenes, possessive, obsessed, protective MCs and always have happy endings.
I live in Japan with my two kids and my stinky, super cute Frenchie.

January 25, 2025dnf @ 70% - this is so unserious😂😂 which i usually like but this was annoyingly unbelievable. first of all, ik the author warned me that lori speaks like half american english and half british english bc of his gma, but oh my fucking god, i couldn’t stand it😭😭 it sounds so forced and fake and stupid, my ears were bleeding i tell u!!!! talking bout some “bugger! my car!”💀💀💀😭😭😭 get me outta here!!!!😂😂😂 this isn’t even close to the worst offender, but this is the one that defeated me, truly….i was like i can’t take it anymore help!!!! lori’s inner monologue, lori’s external dialogue…..it genuinely brought me to tears, i have never in my life been so disturbed by the way a characters speaks before….shit sounds like it was written by someone who has a vague concept of british terminology but has never actually heard them used in a sentence before😭😭
i really loved the idea of this book tho, an mc with multiplicity, co-fronting with his other alter?? like gimme gimme gimme😩 too bad shit was fumbled so fucking hard tho😭
everything was so in your face, OTT….lori’s personality, lori and the drama with basically everyone in the office, the “bad guys”, the brothers all being “crazy” and “bad” and fucking their husbands (we get it, they had their own books and now the author wants to do cameos to let us know they still fuck like rabbits and everyone knows it🙄 like pls leave that to their own books😭), the jealousy….like it was just eye roll inducing really. the fact i made it as far as i did actually inspires me, i’m literally so strong😔🙏
i could probs just sum it all up by pointing out the fact the word “unaliving” was used🤢
one quote for the road:
“What the bleeding, sodding fuck! Gabe Reed. That’s ridonkulous.”
like speaking of bleeding, my fucking eyes!!!!!!😵💫😵💫😵💫 no more!!!!

He’s supposed to be snarky and maybe British?? It’s like someone took a list of British-y words and tried to work them in every other sentence. The snark & banter was cringey and unfunny. No thank you to this series

I loved this.
Filthy, sexy, inventive .
It takes them so long to figure it out. A slow whats-going-on-with-us burn.
This story managed to shut the normally extreme Lori up and leave him speechless and clueless. The Gabe-Bez tag team was fun😅😅 The most inspired throuple I've read🤩
And by the last part of the book so much is happening you get whiplash.💫
This was a really fun read and the characters are so nuts and endearing in their bloody ways. I knew Lori's book would be my favorite 💯. Paulina Ian-Kane did not disappoint ‼️

One, the first book, will always be my favorite in this series--I ate that dynamic right up and I have no regrets. Until now, Six (Book 2) was my second favorite. I really enjoyed it.
But from the moment I started this book, I knew Six had competition for second place in my heart. I knew from the prologue this was a 5 star book for me (and indeed, I read it in one day, which is my personal meter for how much I loved a book). In the end, I decided Six and Five tie each other in my heart--and that's perfect because Ollie and Lori are besties for life.

This book was so FUN. Immediately Gabe 3cpo pulled me right in, which his robot half and his passionate animal half. I love how they completed Lori, who found just want he needed. I loved the tension as Gabe and Bez shifted against each other----but I was fucking slush for how protective Bez is of Gabe. Gabe thinks he's not, and Bez doesn't go out of his way to change Gabes mind, but I, the reader, saw all the tiny protective things he did. (At one point Gabe says Bez never does anything for Gabe unless he gets something in return and I just lovingly rolled my eyes at the idiot). I'm a sucker for protective personalities, and I'm a sucker for people who do their job well. Bez is literally both.
My favorite part of this book though, besides Lori's HYSTERICAL personality (he takes no shit so if you love books with MCs who are the opposite of doormats you're going to LOVE this book) (he not only had all his granny's sayings, but so much beautiful revenge. He was a firecracker in Ollies book and he remained a well written firecracker here), was Uri and Sari. Oh I have HOPE they will end up together, Paulina has me ✨worried✨ But they had SO MANY beautiful scenes here, mostly on Uris side bc Sari.....still needs to catch up quite frankly lmao.
But I'm not too worried, bc Lori has ✨PLANS✨ For them.
As for Paulina, and the ending A/N re: You know what that means;;;; NO PAULINA, I DONT. I REALLY DONT. WHAT ARE YOU ABOUT TO DO TO US!?
P.s. the plot twist was so obvious everyone's going to clock it since the moment we overhear he conversation, but honestly it's so delicious and exciting I ✨don't care ✨💅🏻
P.p.s. This book ends on raising the stakes to ramp up the plot line and, well, raise the stakes. Excellently done. Very good use of tension. A great mid series arc.

This is the first book I've read about a hero that has multiple personality disorder. Like the rest of the books in this series, it's over the top homicidal fun. The romance between the MC'S in all of the books have been pretty good too.

me gustaron mucho mas que uri y sari y claramente mas que michael y ralph, aun asi cada vez me dejan con mas ganas de saber mas de ezra 😭 las apariciones pequeñitas de 5 micro segundos de el con la mascara blanca

Lori and Gabe’s story! This was very spicy and very fun. So many fanfiction-esque tropes that I definitely ate up. The side plot was absolutely an afterthought, and not very well executed. BUT the main romance was very fun. Lori is fun and a layered character. Gabe was your typical possessive top, but with some more substance to him.
The content in this book is wild:
-boss / employee
- character with DID (one alter)
- a drug that’s basically s*x pollen (iykyk) as a catalyst for their relationship
- sleepwalking
- somno
- m*rder bf an even more m*rdery bf
- rich “I’ll buy you anything you’d want” bf and femme bf who eats that UP
Is it masterful? No. But it’s very fun. These books get more fun the more I read them for sure.

Another fantastic book. I just love for these series, it's everything.
I was so anxious for Lori and Gabe's story and I'm beyond pleased with it.
Lori is awesome, he is who he is and he doesn't make excuses for it. He's true to himself, no matter what anybody tells him. I just love him to pieces.
Gabe has more depth than I thought. Through out the series, he seems like a robot who doesn't have any feelings but in reality he has and a lot of them, he just hides them behind a cold and detached facade. Getting to know Bez was pretty awesome too. I loved them both,one complements the other.
I knew Lori and Gabe/Bez would be fire together and I was absolutely right

I devoured this book! I couldn't wait to get Lori's story & I wasn't disappointed. I loved the dynamic of Gabe/Bez & Lori. Lori is a firecracker, he made me laugh so much- between his snark,bratty behaviour & his constant need for sex, he was entertaining. I loved Gabes seriousness & the way he always had to be in control, compared to Bez's horndog, no cares given attitude. Gabe/Bez were definitely what Lori needed.This whole series is fantastic & all the characters draw you into their crazy & I can't get enough.

This was really a rollercoaster of feelings. I really loved Lori and Gabe/Bez, it was always so nice to read about them. And the sex scenes were spicy and good ;)
And the ending?! A cliffhanger?! A new character??!! Omg, I need the next book like right now!
I'm looking forward to the next book in the series (so interested in Sari and Uri's relationship and their backstories).

Gabriel/ Core Identity Bezaliel/ Alter
Control. Gabe craves it to keep his urges under in check. Bez being Gabe’s alter is appropriate… he is the opposite to Gabe’s core identity is every way. Bez is sarcastic, funny, snarky and most of all impulsive. Bez’s temper is unmatched, it doesn’t come out often only when Gabe is threatened, or at least that was the case until Lori came along. As soon as they laid their eyes on him Bez knew Lori was his and he was determined to get his man, even if it meant fighting Gabe and his damned control! Gabe only lets Bez out to play here and there, Bez happy to take the back seat but he has found himself wanting to be seen and heard a lot more since they found Lori. Bez adores the little wasp and his antics. He encourages Lori’s bad side, his mischievousness, his naughty personality, he revels in it.
Lori
Fiercely independent, he has only relied on himself for years so when put in a situation where he has to rely on a man that irks him so much leaves Lori dumbfounded. He hates Gabriel from the first moment he sees him, Gabe is gorgeous and cold. Not a flicker of emotion, nothing gets to him no matter how hard Lori tries to elicits a reaction from Gabe by pulling all sorts of shenanigans. The more time they spend together the more Lori is intrigued, finding out Gabe had a snarky, possessive alpha alter made complete sense. Lori didn’t question it finding out the gorgeous man was actually 2 men in one body was perfect. Between the both of them they gave Lori everything he wanted and always dreamed of.
Lori’s acceptance of Gabe and Bez’s multiplicity was beautiful to read, The vulnerability Gabe shows Lori was a massive milestone in the book and it was heartbreaking to witness this man who always has to be in control just to function on a daily basis break down unsure of what he needs, but Lori was right a confident spitfire, knowing his men where struggling and he knew he was going to leave no matter how much they try to push him away. Lori show Gabe and Bez what it’s like to rely on someone, to lean on someone, to share the burden of life with. Gave and Bez no longer have to struggle alone they have their perfect man. I love how Lori can distinct between Gabe and Bez.

Where do I begin with this book?
This installment in the series follows Lori, the best friend Ollie, and Gabe one of the brothers. Gabe gets intel from one of his brothers that there is a drug on the market that leads to a painful desire to have sex, so goes to a sex club where the drug is supposedly being distributed to investigate. Lori wanting to be in on the action decides to follow Gabe and … Read and find out.
The best thing about this series is the characters. Lori is such a powerhouse and does not care what anyone thinks of him. He is brave, loyal, and fierce but also has a vulnerable side to him that he allows Gabe to see. Despite his flamboyant nature, he is unapologetic about who he is and how he conducts himself. He stands his ground and gives his own form of justice to those who he thinks deserve it. Lori and his gran had a heartbreaking but beautiful relationship, and i loved how we got to see that and why Lori had an undertone of guilt for his grandmother.
Gabe is a character unlike I have ever read before. Due to his multiplicity, he has two identities sharing a body, with Gabe being the core identity and Bez being the protector. I just absolutely adored them. The way Paulina was able to write two separate people in one body was incredible - to the point where in scenes Gabe and Bez would switch and you would still be able to tell the difference is a testament to good writing and good characters. I love that Gabe was the rational “lawyer type” who was responsible and rational whereas Bex was impulsive and demanding (downright funny). The fact that when Lori found out about his multiplicity, he didn’t care - in fact, he turned around and said it made sense why “Gabe” acted the way that he did.
Also, the is a pet hen called Wednesday. No explanation is needed.

This book was like one of Lori's high kicks...unexpected and knocked me on my ass.
When we were first introduced to Lori, I didn't like him. BUT reading this book gave us an inside look into Lori and he grew on me. Him and Gabe are perfect for each other.
I loved reading the dynamic between Gabe and Lori but also between Gabe and his brothers.
This author includes a character with multiplicity and she did a wonderful job of giving insights into multiplicity. I loved reading the two characters and their thoughts. It was well done!!
I can honestly say...I did not see the twist coming and the way the twist was introduced was spectacular. I am so excited to find out more. I love how we get all the brothers and their significant others in each story. It just adds to the story and doesn't take away from the main storyline, just enhances it.
Uri and Sari are my favorites and I loved that they were both in this story more. Seeing Sari and his friendship with Lori was fun and I hope we get more of that.
I highly recommend this series. It does not disappoint and keeps you going back for more.

I'm literally SCREAMING. This was absolutely amazing. I was so excited to read this, and I can say it did not disappoint in any way, shape, or form. I have loved Lori since he first appeared, and it was amazing to get to know him better. I also loved getting to know The Boys. I can see the time that was taken to make sure that things were accurate and flowed well. I also love that Lori gets all that he needs and wants even the bloody parts. I really enjoyed this and can't wait for more. It was perfectly set up to slide right to the next book, which i have no doubt, will be just as amaxing

This series is ridiculous, but so entertaining so I don’t really care how plausible everything is (or more on point isn’t). I love every couple, I love the obsession, the possessiveness, the touch him and die, the who did this to you. As my beloved queens like to say “this show has everything!”

Lori is my spirit animal, best book of the series (yet)!!

Lori cracked me up of course and it was nice to finally get a look into Gabe and be introduced to Bez.
Uri and Sari moments tho?? Honey I saw it coming but ate it up😌
Steam- 3.5/5 strict roles

What happened? 😱
This series so far has been so so good and this one was just...not 🥲
I was so excited about Lori's book and to see how the author would do the DID rep but it didn't do it for me.
I was really not a fan of the use of the drug to make them have their first physical encounter.
Even if they briefly talk about it and neither feels violated by the interaction (at least by each other) it still felt really icky to me 🤷♀️
I didn't feel the connection between the MCs like in the other books and even the sex scenes always felt rushed and a bit boring considering what usually this author delivers.
The plot didn't really move forward much except for a bunch of things happening all in the last 20%. I was really excited about Sari and Uri's book but the "evil twin" reveal kind of bummed me out 🥲😂
As for the DID rep, I personally do not have it but I'm friends with two systems and we talked about representation in books and their own experiences in general and as much as I understand, it was a bit stereotypical but it wasn't badly done.
Anyway, I'm disappointed, but I'll still read the last one crossing my fingers 🤞

I absolutely loved this book and the entire series, and the audiobook takes it to another level. Lori is hilarious on the page, but hearing the narrators bring him to life is an absolute riot. They did an incredible job capturing the chemistry and emotion between Gabe/Bez and Lori. And honestly, everyone needs a little Wasp in their life — they’re endlessly entertaining! I can’t recommend this audiobook enough.

OMG! I loved this so much! Lori is a petty loveable lunatic and I have loved him since he showed up in book 2. I also loved learning more about Gabe/Bez and watching him fall for Lori! This book was everything I wanted it to be and more! I can’t for the next one in the series. I have my fingers crossed for Sari and/or URI’s book next!
Please read the CW/TWs for this book and the rest of the series.

📗4.6 Read 24th Sept, 2025.
Bro, why this censoring by saying UNALIVE in a book???????? And… i didn;t have Michael saying “bussy” on my 2025 bingo.
♦Story- 3.8⭐, Characters- 4.7⭐, Sex- 5⭐, Epilogue- 4⭐
Ever since i read the blurb, i knew who would play Gabe/Bez. The snake boys as the different personas. Since Gabe & Bez are the same person, i just kept changing the face when they're in their minds.
This is Gabe/Bez’s story who is a lawyer and Lori works in his firm. Lori follows him to a sex club and accidentally drinks drugs and hence the story. But i felt it wasn’t exactly their book since it was filled with what others were doing (who already have their own books) while the MCs just wait around e/o.
❥So Bez is gay, and Gabe feels bi but maybe ace? Being in his head was awesome. Bez is utterly gone for Lori (not insta lust, this built before the book). And Declan Winter IS Bez and it gives major Venom vibes. The multiplicity rep was so well done.
❥Michael Ferraiuolo IS Lori lol he’s sassy, unhinged, and absolutely hilarious! Hot chacha motherfuckers! 😂. i wasn’t sold on him in Vampire Mates, but now i totally get the hype.
❥It has one of my fav soap opera trope:
❥Man, they’re so damn domestic. Living and shopping together, babysitting the chicken named Wednesday.
❥Even though i’m starting with this book, the thing is, i dunno any of them yet i love all the brothers and their partners and so reading about them gave me joy.
❥The actual psycho is Lori and the gang 1000%. Gabe keeps saying he needs to kill but nah, it’s all Lori.
❥For a “Dark” book, it’s surprisingly low angst. i’d say my main angst came from the OM/W rather than what happens later cuz nothing happens lol
// i rate sex different from sex acts and all my reviews reflect that. The views are my personal and may not align with yours. Only read if you’re ok with that. Else, please skip this next part.
This has 5 sex scenes and all of those were filthy, filthy good. Can count on Paulina to deliver exactly what i expect. Lori is responsive AF and so is Bez/Gabe. Bez is very rough, possessive but Gabe is very intimate, slow, soft. Quite a few were just briefly narrated over.
There are 2 dubcon scenes.
My issues with this book:
♦We never saw Gabe/Bez’s full potential. We only see his breakdown but not in a serial killer way, just him dealing with the parental issue listed below.
♦There’s OM drama where the PA has a crush on Gabe and he chooses her to go to a ball (That woman’s a bitch, sorry not sorry cuz of how she talks down to Lori), crushing Lori’s heart. But he retaliates and Uri fuels the flames by kissing him. Neither of them are interested in e/o. The entire ball is about him making Gabe jealous and winning, ofc. Also 1 time dancing with Clover.
♦It has pacing issues. About 20% of the book is concerned with SCs which is a lot! i like them all, but still it’s a lot! After the club incident, Gabe disappears and till 42% of the book is just Lori narrating everyone else's stories instead of developing the actual MCs. Then everything happens at 90%. All the gore. Wth?
♦Needless angst at 88% with a parental figure hospitalised. But it was low angst-ish to me. Ymmv. Ends in cliffhanger for the plot.

Okay, let me start this review by „putting my horny glasses on. Oh, what am I saying, they were never off.“ 🤣 Yeah, you’ve got me. I’ve been in love, like highly addicted, laughing my ass off in love, with Lori and his snarky mouth since the very first moment we meet him in „Six“, and I could not wait to get his and Gabes story finally 🫠❤️.
Phoenix is still on the run, and our Angels of Wrath are still on the lookout 👀. The mission in this book starts in a nightclub, where people are reportedly drugged with a novel drug that makes them lose their inhibitions and crazy with lust to a highly painful point… 💉 the only solution is to sedate them or to make them flush with endorphines, meaning having an org*sm. Who would be more suitable than our emotionless and robotic lawyer C3-PO a.k.a. Gabriel 🤖? Gabriel has other problems, one of them is a colorful and chaotic paralegal, and the best friend of his brother-in-law Ollie 😁, our favourite little chaos gremlin, who keeps Gabe’s law firm and all people working with Lori on their toes with his sharp tongue and unique ways of retaliation 💥. Lori decides to follow Gabe on his mission to the nightclub in his very subtle way, and yeah, you might be able to guess where this ends 🤣
Lori, … oh boy, its so hard to pin this one because he is just so unique and multifacetted and for me, his character pulls a lot of these books 😍. He is extremely lovable and made me laugh throughout the series so much 🥰. As Ollie’s best friend, we have seen a lot of his snarkiness and sceming ways, but this one gets deeper… we finally learn what he burns for and how brilliant and big-hearted he really is ❤️. And honestly, everything new I learned I found even more lovable, and we haven’t even started talking about Wednesday, and I’ll not spoil the surprise for you 😁.
Gabe is kind of an enigma until his book 🥸. We just know he is very collected, calm, and emotionless, but there is so, so much more to him. Like all others, Gabe was picked by the scientists for one unique trait, and in his case, it was his DID 🎭. Having worked a lot with the dear Meg, he reduced it to a Multiplicity and we already start knowing that within this Angel’s body there live two very different individuals, the calm and collected Gabe we already know 👨🏼💼, and the impulsive and emotional Belaziel 😈, and wow, they are both amazing but together they are irresistible 🫠. I love their banter, and how Bez supports Gabe when he is lost, and what I love most is how both agree on Lori being irresistible and theirs to own, even though one of them needed some convincing ❤️🔥.
Honestly, Gabe and Lori are just amazing together. Lori’s complex personality makes him look for a person who can complement him, and he is sure he would get bored with one person. Lucky him, inside of his man, two souls are united 💕 and they are both perfect for Lori as he is for them 🩷. When they clash, a wildfire breaks out 🔥. It’s so amazing how you can totally differentiate Gabes personalities and how both have their individual style. To be honest, Bez is my favourite, his Dirty Talk is just Chef’s kiss, and I had to pause at some points and had to fan myself 😮💨.
Summa summarum, there is nothing to add; these three are just amazing and will live rent-free in my head for a long, long time. But yeah, Paulina also broke my heart in this book 💔😢 still ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

Excellent.
I really loved this book. It takes a bit of a detour from the overarching plot as there isn't much (if any) progress made to finding Phoenix or figuring out who they are. The story mainly focuses on Lori and Gabe/Bez with a subplot that ultimately brings them together.
I was so intrigued by Gabe's multiplicity, and I thought it was done really well. It felt like the author truly tried to represent this aspect realistically and respectfully. It's not sensationalized...maybe a little romanticized and capitalized on because it works in the story and appeals to Lori's tastes, but this wasn't a turnoff to me and didn't feel disrespectful to this mental health representation.
There is so much growth that Gabe/Bez experience with each other as they also acknowledge and act on their feelings for Lori. And once Gabe is completely on board, they don't hide their diagnosis from Lori. Gabe and Bez don't really fight for control; they both have different needs and personalities, but they respect each other and coexist harmoniously for the most part. Bez actually sees how Gabe needs help to let his walls down and let go of his stoic control in order to fully accept himself and Lori. He won't take over when Gabe struggles and instead forces him to work through things on his own. This strengthens not only Gabe and Bez's connection, but theirs and Lori's as well.
Holy smokes, the steam! Their connection is just so strong and it sucked me right in. Even though Lori struggles with Gabe's hot and cold, he's still drawn to him. Gabe is so obsessive, while Bez is very possessive, and they're both overly protective. I also found it kind of endearing that Gabe feels jealousy towards Bez at times. There's loads of dirty talk that was done really well and the detail was delicious. I was scared of the exhibition warning, because I don't like that as a trope, but it's not a trope in this book, it's a situation that, when it happens, is handled as well as it can be by Gabe. Neither of them want it or are expecting it, and Gabe protects Lori's body from eyes and cameras. Plus, other things happen that ensure everyone involved gets their comeuppance. So if you're concerned about this as a TW, I hope this helps.
This was so close to a 5 star for me, but I took half a star for the plot taking a backseat, and another half for the amount of errors. One more proof would have caught the minor grammatical errors/typos and punctuation issues.
I'm not sure where Uri's book is going (with Sari?), but I'm looking forward to it!

The Angels of Wräth series is a vïgilänte family of foster brothers, who were ëxpërimented on when kids, and are now trying to overcome their bløødy past while finding love...and kǐllǐng ẽvǐl. Those boys are øbsëssed, pössëssive, kind of cräzy, prötective and deliciously dirty.
I loved reading about Gabe & Bez. His multiplicity was so fascinating to read about and I absolutely loved both of their ice & fire personalities. (Bez was my fav 😉).
I thought Lori was a fun person to read about in the other 2 books in the series, he was so flamboyant & outspoken, but having his own book I personally found it a bit too much, (his over the top arguing and continues banter went on for 2-3-4 pages at a time in parts!)
Still I loved this book, apart from missing long bits of Lori’s banters, it kept me thoroughly engaged, with great plot and spicy times.
Gabe suffered from DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder), after his time with those two ëvǐl scientists, but with the help of Meg, he now manages co-fronting. Where Gabe & Bez switch without amnesia happening or dissociation in memory. They are both in control of the body at the same time to varying degrees - Gabe was more at the front, with Bez only taking over when danger or threats are around. Bez has always lusted after Lori but Gabe was more reticent, especially thinking Lori hated him. That is until Lori is dřůgged and then everything slowly changes for all three of them!
Lori is desperate to be apart of the brother’s family business, meting out justice to evil individuals, he wants to be seen as an equal. When he pushes himself into a dangerous situation against the brother’s wishes he ends up being drüggëd. Gabe helps him through his drüggëd out forced sëxűal situation and after this, things between them change completely. With an ongoing threat of the Phoenix and ex work colleagues Lori can’t help but mete out his own silly justice to, they need to work together….but can they?

The Angels of Wräth series is a vïgilänte family of foster brothers, who were ëxpërimented on when kids, and are now trying to overcome their bløødy past while finding love...and kǐllǐng ẽvǐl. Those boys are øbsëssed, pössëssive, kind of cräzy, prötective and deliciously dirty.
I loved reading about Gabe & Bez. His multiplicity was so fascinating to read about and I absolutely loved both of their ice & fire personalities. (Bez was my fav 😉).
I thought Lori was a fun person to read about in the other 2 books in the series, he was so flamboyant & outspoken, but having his own book I personally found it a bit too much, (his over the top arguing and continues banter went on for 2-3-4 pages at a time in parts!)
Still I loved this book, apart from missing long bits of Lori’s banters, it kept me thoroughly engaged, with great plot and spicy times.
Gabe suffered from DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder), after his time with those two ëvǐl scientists, but with the help of Meg, he now manages co-fronting. Where Gabe & Bez switch without amnesia happening or dissociation in memory. They are both in control of the body at the same time to varying degrees - Gabe was more at the front, with Bez only taking over when danger or threats are around. Bez has always lusted after Lori but Gabe was more reticent, especially thinking Lori hated him. That is until Lori is dřůgged and then everything slowly changes for all three of them!
Lori is desperate to be apart of the brother’s family business, meting out justice to evil individuals, he wants to be seen as an equal. When he pushes himself into a dangerous situation against the brother’s wishes he ends up being drüggëd. Gabe helps him through his drüggëd out forced sëxűal situation and after this, things between them change completely. With an ongoing threat of the Phoenix and ex work colleagues Lori can’t help but mete out his own silly justice to, they need to work together….but can they?
