Brutes of Bristlebrook #3
Entwined: Brutes of Bristlebrook Trilogy, Book 3
Outclassed. Outplayed. Outmatched.
After our humiliating defeat at Cyanide, Alastair left us shamed and shattered.
We lost.
But with our resources at a desperate low, new players making dangerous moves, and my brutes on the offense, I know I need to change the game. The last time I tried my hand, I made mistakes that nearly cost us everything—but I’m not the same hesitant little pawn I once was, and I’m not hiding behind my fear anymore.
This time, it’s my board.
The Sinners and the Reapers are in position.
The queen and her kings are in play.
But we need a better strategy—because if we can’t become the family Jasper always promised me we could be, then we might lose more than just our home at Bristlebrook.
We might lose our chance at forever as well....
***
Entwined is book 3 of 3 in this trilogy. This trilogy is COMPLETE.
The Brutes of Bristlebrook is a dark(ish) post-apocalyptic, steamy romance trilogy, and Eden will end up with three or more love interests after I’ve appropriately obliterated my listeners’ nerves. Expect complex characters, 1st person present tense, multiple POVs, queer love, angst, lots of laughs, and to encounter material that some readers may find sensitive.
This book is a big gal at over 258k words and deals with a lot of heavy content. I promise it gets brighter as it goes on (you know...mostly). Please see my website for TWs—your mental health matters.

August 18, 2024REBECCA WHERE IS THE BOOK ITS SUPPOSED TO BE OUT AND I NEED IT
Want to read
June 12, 2025I NEED this book right now 😭.
In order to satisfy me I just want 2 measly things:
1. More Jayk content
2. Eden, Beau, and Dom's relationship to be mended
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Also, this cover might just be the best out of all 3! 👀👀👀
(even though they're all just apples, snakes, and leaves)
EDIT: I got confirmation of the fact that I'll receive the ARC for this book via email!!! 🎉🎉🎉

There aren’t enough stars to give this book, I can’t believe it’s over.
This is such a bittersweet moment this series coming to an end feels personal. When I tell you I savored every single fucking page, I mean it. I don’t think Rebecca could’ve given me a better conclusion if she tried. I literally went to sleep crying happy tears, and I woke up thinking about these characters. They are forever embedded in my soul.
The journey we go on with Eden and her brutes in this book is so deep and emotional. Of course she’s trying to work things out with her men, but they’re also trying to heal and connect with each other and that might’ve been my favorite part to witness.
This is my absolute favorite dynamic in a why-choose romance. The way these characters interact, their relationships, their banter, their emotional moments it’s all just so good. Every interaction, no matter who it’s between, is not only hilarious(usually in a why choose there’s only one character that’s the comedic relief, but all of these men have such a sense of humor in different ways) but also deeply emotional. You can feel the love they have for each other, even as they’re working through so many layers of pain and healing. It’s such a powerful journey watching them rebuild their little family unit.
“When we’re a team, we’re fucking invincible.” 😭😭
The journey from Army Rangers to found family? EVERYTHING. They’re learning how to love and trust on a whole new level and it’s beautiful to witness.
And the plot? Unmatched. Post-apocalypse and survival are totally my jam, so it’s no surprise I was absolutely obsessed, literally felt like I was watching my favorite show. The way everything tied together in the end was Incredible. It felt earned. It felt right.
And one thing you’re gonna do in this book? SWEAT. The spice is unreal, so good, and so different with each MMC. You’re getting the best of every world. Eden is one lucky girl. My cheese obsessed sister 🤞🏼 she’s such a lovable FMC she’s brilliant she’s brave she’s quick on her feet and she has so much love to give.
If I had the time, I could probably write a five-page review breaking down every character and how much I adore them (yes, even Jasper), but for time’s sake I’ll wrap it up by saying this:
This is my number one why-choose series for so many reasons. I’m so glad I picked up Ensnared and took this journey, because it’s been one of my absolute favorites. I’ll definitely be back to Bristlebrook for a reread. This is my comfort series. This is my Roman Empire. This is my soul series.
I have to say, I adore every single one of these men there isn’t one I don’t like, but if I had to rank them
JAYKOB GIRLIE FOR LIFE. That’s my man. He had me cracking up, he’s so hot and possessive, and his soft side?? 🥹🖤 always my number one.
Dom
Lucky
Beau
Jasper
Okay that’s all. NOW GO READ THIS IMMEDIATELY

June 28, 2025I’m thirsting for this book almost as much as Eden thirsts after her Brutes…and that’s saying something 😏💦
June 29, 2025
Dear lord in heaven am I glad I finally finished this. There was no reason this book needed to be this long. I almost gave up like 6 times. We waited almost a year for this book and we got a terrible rambling mess with an over complicated story and way too much unnecessary drama and back and forth and more side characters that truly only added to make everything even more confusing. Add to that the names of the groups being similar it was hard to keep track of who was on whose side etc. Also this is not a RH it is a poly group and it’s a terrible group dynamic especially for a group that has a doctor and a psychologist among them. I really enjoyed the first 2 books in this trilogy and this was such an awful slog.

This series is going to go down as one of my all-time favorite romance series, because Rebecca Quinn is THAT good.
📙 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀: The Brutes of Bristlebrook continuous series. Book 3 (final).
📗 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀: E-book ARC on Kindle. 🆓️ on KU.
📘 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗿𝗲: Post-apocalyptic romance
📔 𝗧𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝘀: Why choose, enemies-to-lovers, romantic suspence.
📖 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀: Librarian Eden is struggling to survive in the "after" of the world, about to be caught by rebels when she meets five former Army Rangers who agree to take her in - for a price.
🌟 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄: So many of you refused to pick this up because it was an open series - one that ended on a heck of a cliffhanger in each book - but now that it's finished, I am reviewing the series as a whole if only to shout it from the rooftops.
Not to flex, but two years ago a new indie author dropped into my DMs and asked if I would read her book. I took a chance. And I was absolutely floored by Ensnared. Rebecca Quinn is the absolute real deal. She wrote the rare unicorn - a five star for plot and a level five spice rating. She individualized each of the six characters in this series, and then created a plot that was action packed, full of tough decisions, and in a world that felt so real sometimes I had to turn my house lights on.
You may get intimidated by the length, but I am here to say I literally saw value in every word, especially of Entwined. Each character had an incredible arc over the three books, and Rebecca Quinn not only gave individual relationships with Eden their due time, but the friendships and family relationship between all of the guys got its page time as well. It was expert work, and I will read anything Rebecca Quinn puts out just based on this series.
I also can't just let the spice slide. It's so out of bounds. Inventive is a good word for it. Sometimes I was like OH WOW.
If you have an option, I also have to say the audio is incredible. Full cast, and so hot it will ignite your ear pods.

Well, it ends, not with a bang, but with a fizzle..
well, there is a final 'banging' 😅 but it still felt anticlimactic to me.
3.5 Stars
4 on the spice scale

There are some slight spoilers, but might be necessary for a reader who’s like me and wants to know the whole direction of the story before I get involved in it.
Well from a book of this length it could be the best or worst thing, and I didn’t find this great at all. I thought we’d get some nice relationship building with the characters to at we hadn’t gotten much of yet, but no, we get another hook of Jayk. I was hoping for some action but we got 700 + pages of just Jayk and Eden, and 300ish pages of the story.
700 + pages of Eden not allowed to engage with the “harem” without jayks permission
700 + pages of emotional manipulation by Jayk.
700 + pages of excuses for Jayk.
700 + pages of abuse of Eden by Jayk.
700 + pages of the same patterns of abuse over and over and over again by Jayk.
Why write a “reverse harem” when you obviously just want Eden and Jayk? Nearly two books focused of Jayk and then little flutters of the others.
Jayk who is no long a redeemable character after what? 70 % of the book?
Took over Bristlebrook
Builds himself a throne while everyone else is gone fighting
Is now referred to as King by his command (Oh, oopsie, guess that’s his last name, what a coincidence 🙄🙄🙄🙄🤮)
Declares Eden is only allowed to be with him
S.As Eden publicly all the time with the ass smacking that embarrasses her and was embarrassing to read.
She isn’t allowed to speak or see the rest of the guys without being physically removed from their presence
He keeps her observation and has the civilians report on her movements? And also they throw a rock at Eden, Beau, Dom, and Jasper when they come back from cyanide? What the fuck? Those civilians should’ve been shot and Jayk should’ve been shot too.
And Eden is pathetic. She completely regressed and has minimal emotional maturity. She’s a coward. She gets in the way. She makes things worse. She’s weak. She’s selfish. She obviously doesn’t care about any of the other brutes feelings except for Jayk. She has a conniption about the others being hurt physically while she turns in a circle, fluttering her hands and crying. That’s her biggest strength. She has a lot of audacity protecting Jayks reasoning while hurting everyone else and making it seem like it was right. She barely, if not ever, defends herself against these people, her lack of defense for herself pissed me off in the second book. This book I was over it. She’s spineless. She didn’t have to be a badass, but she has to be more than nothjng.
We don’t have much substance of the other relationships because once again it’s the Jayk show. This isn’t a reverse harem. It’s a selective poly. Eden and Jayk are the relationship and the others are allowed to come in when they can sneak it. Except for Jasper and Lucien who frankly don’t need anyone else but each other therefore they don’t matter as much. They should’ve been their own book because they act as a separate unit from the others.
What a complete disgrace. What a monumental waste of nearly 1,000 pages. Waste of a beautiful started something. I was in near tears just trying to get through the beginning because I already knew it was going to be a giant let down. The last 30 % of the book was why this is two stars instead of one.
Anyways. Fuck Eden, fuck those ungrateful nasty civilians, Fuck Heather, and FUUUUUUCK Jayk.

Исках perfect streak, получих perfect streak: 3 книги, всяка 5⭐
Заболя ме физически и психически да натисна I'm done бутона на Entwined. Не исках да свършва. И в същото време завърши по възможно най-добрия, удовлетворителен, красив и кинки начин. Имаше едно единствено нещо, което не ми допадна в цялата история, но сега, поглеждайки назад, си давам сметка, че точно така трябваше да станат нещата. Точно от това имаха нужда Главорезите и тяхната библиотекарка. Та, да. Пет напълно заслужени пълни звезди и си чакам Sinners of Cyanide spin-off-а. Мира няма да намеря, докато не разбера какво се е случило там междувременно. И "добре дошла" на Ребека Куин в топ 5 авторите ми. Наздраве за още много и все толкова майсторски написани книги 🥂

DNF at 41%
This book made me regret buying a special edition of the series.
I really loved the first 2 books and this just completely ruined it for me. Honestly the main contention I had with the story is Eden’s relationship with Jayk. It was hard to read a story, where clearly kink has been confused with abuse. Not respecting her wishes and boundaries, isolating her from the other brutes and a plethora of other abusive behaviour that made this a hard read.
Despite all that, reading 41% and absolutely nothing has happened plot wise. Not even any actual proper relationship development. It honestly feels like the author didn’t know where to take this story, and because of the delays in release, just published this before it was ready. It didn’t feel well thought out at all.
This was sadly a real let down for a book I was really looking forward to.

"Come here, Eden. And crawl."
| arc review |
you know when you pick up a book and it’s a BIG one but it ends up being boring as fuck because the pace is shit, the bigger plot is nonexistant and there’s no character development?
well, you’ll be pleased to know that we get 🫵🏼 900 pages 🫵🏼 in entwined and it works perfectly because rebecca truly is a brilliant writer.
nothing, and i mean NOTHING, is left out — every question is answered, every tiny little (and bigger) plot explained, every relationship worked on.
the pace in this is perfect and again, brilliant:
1) we get time for eden to work in her relationship with her men, but also with herself and with the rest of the people she’s with; we get deeeeeep into her insecurities and problems.
2) we get to see the characters’ flaws, traumas and hurts exposed and to truly appreciate each of them for who they truly are, even if we were pissed as fuck with them to begin with — get ready for some tears, heartache, laugh and bittersweet relief.
3) each one of the guys have their significant time on page, no one is forgotten and they are written with such care and love that it’s impossible not to remember why you fell in love with them in the first place. they are truly special, so fucking funny and so fucking romantic — so many swoon worthy moments 😩
4) i said to one of my friends that this is probably one of the best smuts i have ever read, like EVER. eden is a lucky hoe and i’m JEALOUS of a fictional woman. like REALLY JEALOUS.
5) the bigger plot is never forgotten and really woven throughout the relationship one. you never feel like one or the other is being neglected because they are part of each other. the bigger plot makes the relationships so much intense and worthwhile, and it makes you appreciate all the effort that it’s being put into these bonds.
6) there’s a lot of action and it’s delivered in a very anxious and clever inducing way aka you wont be able to stop reading when shit goes down lol also, i really really love how i was blind to some shit until i wasnt…. maybe it was me but my jaw really dropped.
the wait for this was so goddamn worth it. it exceeded all of my expectations and i’m so happy with how it ended. TRULY.
by far one of the easiest 5 star reads i ever had to give.
.:. i’ve been reviewing this series as an arc reader since the beginning (aka RHRA) and i’m so incredibly happy and sad to let these characters go but so incredibly proud of the world that rebecca has created. it truly is one of a kind. i’m proud of you becky quinn! 💓 cant wait to see what else you’ll surprise us with.

Just when I thought Eden and Jasper finally would make some f*cking progress in their relationship- nope, out with Eden and in with Lucien. I'm so f*cking done with these two. Good reminder why I strongly prefer RH without MM.
"Making her believe there is any kind of competition here, or that there is any world in which she isn’t as much a priority to me as Lucien."
One common complaint with RH authors in general is that their writing style is more tell than show. This book is the same, words with no action to back them up. Jasper claims Eden is as much a priority to him as Lucien but it's just empty words, his actions over and over again SHOW that Lucien is the priority. There really is no doubt; it's in the quality time he spends with Lucien, how he indulges Lucien and how Eden is often excluded. Also Jasper can't focus on Eden for two f*cking seconds without him or his thoughts going back to Lucien. 60% through the book and the scene between Jasper, Eden and Lucien was such a f*cking let down. They put her through all that during the scene and they can't even wrap it up by getting her off so JAYK steps up while Jasper and Lucien cuddles?! HELLLLL NAW. Wish I could give the book 0 stars!!
Speaking of Jayk, through the first half of the book I never wanted to see someone's name on a page less. Ended up skimming most of Beau's chapters because after he made peace, he had nothing going for him. I'm neutral about Dom. I really enjoyed watching him work through and grow from his personal struggles but then there's that scene where he's basicly useless at aftercare. But he's willing to learn so there's that I guess. I really couldn't care less about the ending, I just wanted to get through the book.
If I counted correctly, the word 'sob' and its variations are used 55 times.

I really enjoyed watching him work through and grow from his personal struggles but then there's that scene where he's basicly useless at aftercare. But he's willing to learn so there's that I guess. I really couldn't care less about the ending, I just wanted to get through the book.
If I counted correctly, the word 'sob' and its variations are used 55 times.

The Brutes of Bristlebrook series is now complete with Entwined, the third and last book of this incredible trilogy.
I’m trying to gather my final thoughts in some type of cohesiveness but I’m just a sobbing mess, because my gosh, what a book. What a story. So poetically powerful and what a journey. I wish I could give this a million stars, because I will NEVER stop talking about this series and the final installment!
Pay attention to the TW and the author’s notes, because Entwined deals with many heavy topics. This is a why-choose, post apocalyptic angsty read, with BDSM elements. Truly, the care/attention to detail that Rebecca Quinn puts into this story and gives to her readers while writing so many difficult themes is the gold standard.
Our main characters, Beau, Dom, Jayk, Lucky, Jasper and Eden experience such GROWTH as they learn to love amidst a truly harrowing post-apocalyptic world. The character richness and NUANCE to not only our 6 main characters but also to so many well developed side characters is WILD to me and I don’t think I will ever read another why-choose book as well done👏 every little moment with each character builds and builds, in such a significant way. This book almost feels like a fantasy novel, with the amount of world building, but the character driven plot makes it one of the most compelling romances.
I’ll admit I was nervous going into Entwined and if we would get a HEA, but in the most incredibly satisfying way - between the narrative, the relationships, the characters and THE SPICE 👌🏻🥵 - this delivered above and behind my expectations.
To Rebecca Quinn - thank you for the privilege of this story and these characters, and getting to see the masterful work and effort you put into this book - it is outstanding and the work you have done to tie up this book, with every twist and turn along the way, is truly phenomenal. And the care and detail you put in dealing with many dark and difficult themes is masterful.
I cannot believe it’s over. This book/story is ingrained in my soul. Wow wow wow. The Brutes and Eden, our favorite devious librarian, will live in my heart always.

Entwined by Rebecca Quinn is the third and final book in the Brutes of Bristlebrook series. Almost 30 hours of action, red-hot spice, comedy relief, and twists to keep you on your toes. In this enthralling post-apocalyptic why-choose romance, Eden finds herself in the company of 5 Army Rangers. This is a story of friendships, enemies, trials and tribulations, war, and hardship. But most importantly, it’s a story of found family, love, and being better together. Last but certainly not least, these books have a glorious amount of kinky sizzling spice that will certainly keep you hot and bothered! I fell in love with the Brutes from the very first moment in Ensnared, and now as I bask in their well-deserved HEA, I love them even more. Rebecca has a talent for beautiful descriptions: “His eyes are summer storms, amber lightning behind rain clouds.” She also writes strong and capable women. Eden and the other female characters are a force to be reckoned with. I’m sad that the series is over, but boy was it a great ride! Forever my Roman Empire.
The audiobook is performed in a multi-cast duet by Avery Caris, JF Harding, Jason Clarke, Teddy Hamilton, Sebastian York, Rose Dioro, Connor Crais, Gregory Salinas, and Rob Hatchet. An all-star, stunning cast that didn’t disappoint. Avery was superb as Eden. She really did a great job at bringing out her personality and nailed portraying every single emotion. JF, Jason, Teddy, and Sebastian flawlessly portrayed their Brutes and side characters. I appreciated the character differentiation, helping to know which character was who. Rose was amazing throughout the whole series, as were Connor and Gregory. Performing their characters to a very high standard. Great accent, Greg! Rob was an addition to this final audiobook but played his part perfectly.
I’d like to thank Rebecca Quinn for the opportunity to listen to this audiobook.

This trilogy has been incredible, and is so special to me for the characters gifted to us and the friendships it's led me to. Without these books, I wouldn't have met some of the amazing women that I have - knowing they also resonate with this story assures me they hold the same values as I do, and also envision something better for our world.
Of course, the romance in the books was beautiful. Each couple felt like they had their moment, their conflicts, and their resolution at their own pace. I loved that things didn't all come together at once, and every relationship arc was given the space it needed to breathe and flourish. It didn't feel like we were made to wait for the sake of it, but because it was necessary to the story. And then when the moment came for them to come together (figuratively and literally) it was stunning.
The platonic relationships were given the same care and attention, and again these were just perfect. The growth of every single main character was done beautifully, and the way this was shown to feed into their friendships developing
As for the narrative, I love the way Quinn uses this post-apocalyptic setting to make so many comments on womanhood, consent, choice, and purity. She does this with the plot, but also through the relationships we saw between the women, and the expression of feminine rage. Heather and Eden are one of the best example of female friendship and solidarity I've ever read in any genre. They're so complex and rich, and even when there's anger between them there's an undercurrent of connection.
There were twists and turns weaved throughout, all written perfectly, and I spent a lot of the time guessing and theorising but never being certain until the story had been told.
As with the first two books, there was plenty of smut, with consent ever at the forefront. This feels so important when the underlying themes of the books are the ways men inflict violence on women, both with overt abuse and subtle manipulations. The spicy scenes all serve to enrich the relationships between our characters (yes- even the platonic ones), are expertly written, and led to plenty of blushing. Suffice to say, the audio is going to be something else.
Entwined delivered the HEA promised in an incredibly satisfying way; the prose, the narrative, and characters, the relationships, and the spice are utter perfection. I can't wait to see what else Rebecca Quinn has in that brilliant mind of hers.

This book is the third and last of the Brutes of Bristlebrook trilogy. I cannot believe it is over and we have to say goodbye to this story. But what a way to end it!
The way Rebecca Quinn writes her characters is beautiful and powerful, with their qualities and their flaws, their struggles and their growth. Each arc reaches its conclusion in a very satisfying way. Nothing feels forced and it’s woven perfectly with the plot.
Eden’s arc especially, of trying to find her voice, her family and her place in her world, is so human and relatable.
As with the first two books, the relationships, whether platonic or romantic, are the core of this book. As the characters grow, we witness their relationship with others change and grow as well.
Beau, Dom, Jayk, Lucky, Jasper and Eden all love and learn to love without restraint and you will be left sobbing at how poignant they are.
Of course, the steam is as impeccable as ever. Full of heat and tenderness, I could feel the love and desire each protagonist had for the others. And the fact that consent is asked and reiterated with every scene makes it all better.
For the plot, Rebecca weaves a powerful storyline about trust (in yourself and others), women's place in society and the choices you make. With twists and turns that kept me guessing until the very end.
And once again, she took us on a roller coaster of emotions. I laughed and cried. Screamed in fear and squealed in delight. Blushed with heat and blanched with horror.
This book was everything I wanted and more, so much more.
Rebecca Quinn is a master of storytelling and characterisation and I cannot wait to read what she gives us next.
_____________________
Added review for the audio : The cast for the audio just did a phenomenal job at giving life to Rebecca's words.
Sebastien York's portrayal of Dom was so emotional, especially in this book, where Dom faces so many inner challenges. The way his voice softened during a particular scene left me in a teary puddle.
JF Harding does an incredible job at portraying both Beau and Lucky. His natural southern accent makes our favourite doctor that much swoon-worthy. And the way he manages to modify his voice to fit Lucky as well, without losing us, is fantastical.
Jason Clarke's gravely voice has always been perfect for Jayk. And it was even better with Entwined. No wonder Eden couldn't resist his caveman behaviour 😏🤭
Teddy Hamilton was already an amazing Jasper. Voice smooth and velvety, he gave me shivers more than once, especially when he was finally expressing his love to Eden and Lucky.
Rose Dioro, Connor Crais, Gregory Salinas and Robert Hatchet are also perfect in their respective roles of Heather, Alastair, Mateo and Bentley. We don't get to listen to them that much during Entwined but they make me even more excited for their own story!
And of course, last but certainly not least, this audio would not be the gem it is without Avery Caris. She is the perfect Eden. I cannot fathom the time and energy it took her to record this book. She carried the audio and deserves so much praise for it. The nuances of Eden's voice are all perfectly respected and she gave me chills and made me cry with how talented she is. I loved listening to her voice and how she carried every emotion I felt while eye reading Entwined. Eden's struggles but also the growth of her confidence and strength, her desperation, her tenderness, her care, her fierceness... Every little detail that made me fall in love with this character, Avery rendered and enhanced. I am in awe of her talent.
Those incredibly talented narrators gave us an amazing production. They took an incredible book, filled with flawed, raw and loveable characters, and they breathed life into it. If Rebecca's words made Eden and her Brutes feel real, those narrators made them feel alive. I am in awe of all this combined talent.

DNF at 25%. After the prequel, I didn't think the author could make Eden more pathetic, but I was wrong. She can't speak up for herself, goes along with whatever Jayk says (who I despise) even when she disagrees with him, and is apparently so stupid she doesn't realize that you need to breathe through your nose when you're gagged. What a disservice to her character. Also, this book is 900 pages? GTFO.
June 19, 2025
I was obsessed with the first two books, but this one is just not doing anything for me. I was bored and kept checking how many pages I needed to read for it to end.
I'm sorry, but I'm not going to finish reading this.

Amazing finalé to the trilogy. Best and most anticipated read of the year for me. The found family aspect really shines. Spicy and action packed it will keep you on the edge of your seat, for one reason or another, until the last page turn.
July 1, 2025
What a way to finish the Brutes of Bristlebrook trilogy. I’m genuinely devastated this series has ended. Trying to put my thoughts into a review feels impossible because I can’t fully express how brilliant this final book, and the trilogy overall, truly is. Rebecca’s writing is beyond impressive. For a debut trilogy, everything feels so refined, intentional, and emotionally gripping. The wait for the final instalment was absolutely worth it.
Set in a brutal post-apocalyptic world, the story follows Eden and her five brutes: Dominic, Beaumont, Jaykob, Lucky, and Jasper. At its core, this series is about survival, trust, healing, and found family. It’s about becoming both stronger and softer in a world trying to break you. Each book adds more heart and growth, but this final one delivers something unforgettable.
Each character’s growth is handled with incredible care. Their inner battles, trauma, strength, and love are captured with stunning clarity. Rebecca balances an intricate plot with deep emotional development without losing sight of who these characters are. Every moment feels earned. You root for them not just as a group but as individuals finding their own paths. This is by far the most beautifully written why choose story I have ever read.
The themes are impossible to ignore. Rebecca explores women’s autonomy, justice, consent, and feminine rage with power and purpose. Nothing feels forced or like a plot device. Every topic is treated with care.
And the spice. My god. It was everything I hoped for and more. What stood out most was how grounded it was in communication and mutual respect. Especially with kink and BDSM, the characters always talked, checked in, and made choices openly. It made every scene intimate and empowering.
There were so many tender moments between Eden and her brutes that made my heart ache. Watching them become a family after all they endured was deeply satisfying. The action was intense and heart-pounding, yet the quiet humor and softness reminded me why I cared so much about these characters.
I honestly don’t understand how this series hasn’t gained more attention. It deserves everything. Don’t be intimidated by the length. Every word holds weight, every scene adds value. I’m so grateful I found Ensnared last year. This series has a permanent place in my heart.
If you haven’t picked up this trilogy yet, let this be your sign. It’s worth every moment.

I am actually so sad that this trilogy has now been completed.
Love everything about this trilogy and it's characters. It's now one of my all time favourites and will forever recommend it. RTC

DNF @ 23%.
I'm so confused what's happening. There's been no recap of what happened in the previous 2 books, even though it's been a while between them. Eden has been nothing but a pincushion, Jayk is still raging asshole and is my least favourite of the Brutes, Dom & Beau need to communicate, Jasper and Lucien just have to realize they're only into each other and not really into Eden.
I'm just not vibing at the moment and life's too short to read books you don't vibe with... no matter how much I wanted to gobble this up.
AND 970 PAGES?!?

I have been waiting for this book it feels like forever! I have checked my kindle store since August and it never popped up. I didn’t think I would find something here. I need this book ASAP! Beau and Dom are their own sexy but Jake is the whole package! Ughhhhh! By far this series has been my favorite of 2024.
