I had a hard time with this story. I hate duets but since most of this authors books are good i was willing to chance it to see how things played out.
While it did list rough, intense scenes the author went beyond that into non consent and anal grape then wrote the most ridiculous reaction by the female lead imaginable. The entire scene wasn’t realistic from a medical and physical standpoint nor from an emotional one by a female in this situation. Her point of view during the event was utter nonsense.
Kara is being forced by a huge powerful conglomerate to be an agent and get info out of the three Markov brothers. She has no choice but comply or she could be killed. She starts with Roman who is the only male who treats her decently for the most part. Then Lev who she went to boarding school with years ago figures out her identity and breaks in forcing himself on her as punishment for what she did with Roman and because he’s always been jealous of her, but she doesn’t fight him because secretly she’s always been attracted to him and wanted him. But then he takes it too far and in my opinion grapes her anally. She says no twice and tries to physically get away but he overpowers her then author writes a ridiculous response to the event. Afterwards he takes her with him restrains and gags her and again grapes her in the car with no concern for her pain. They are nearly killed and archeon rescues her from police station and takes her to a safe location. But then the last brother Dimitri manages to get to her and he forces himself on her while trying to convince her to join them instead and fight archeon together while all three brothers share her. Events happen, they are kidnapped, but while tied up Dimitri of course finds time to use her sexually again while tied to a chair rather then free them from the situation so they dont get free. another faction gets involved who seem willing to help fight archeon but she’s kidnapped again by archeon who want her dead at this point, where she has to fight for her life and save herself. Then the 3 brothers get her back and the entire story Kara is used by them as nothing more than an object. They are rough, put her down, call her disgusting degrading names, and bait each other to be even rougher with her. There is no feelings for her beside lust and desire to punish her except when she is kidnapped to be killed where they are concerned for her life. U see no evolution of developing feelings between any of them, no softening in their dealings with her and no aftercare. The men are harsh, selfish, controlling and nasty. Then suddenly they are saying they all love her yet their behaviour doesn’t change. Dimitri and Roman barely know her and have very limited interaction beyond a few sex scenes so how do they suddenly love her? They haven’t spent any Amt of time with her beyond stressful kidnapping or when using her sexually to know the person she really is. It’s ridiculous and just stupid.
When all three brothers finally manage to share her between them she is again told they are having her at the same time whether she likes it or not showing they still don’t care about her let alone love her, that her wants mean nothing to them and the degrading talk continues. But the author again writes that of course Kara an intelligent, educated independent woman just LUVS it all and is willing to accept whatever scraps they give her. Once again no aftercare which is the biggest signal that she’s just a sperm dumpster to them and no true love exists. It was repetitive and ugly.
I’m not sure if I can stomach the second book to see if the author improves the story at all and all of this suffering by Kara eventually leads to something wonderful and these brothers actually caring for and valuing her as the woman she is or just more treating her like crap.
Seems this story was written more for shock value and extreme sexual fantasy rather than a realistic story of how this 4 some came together at first on opposite sides but then united in a common goal while falling in love together.
Very disappointed in this book. this could have been a fabulous story with a realistic progression of harsh brothers and first rough, lustful treatment which evolved into spicy intense but loving sex with some warm aftercare to show her that maybe this could work between 4 ppl, without all the degradation which is a real turn off. Big difference between dirty talk during sex and calling a woman the most degrading, insulting, and demeaning names u could use, using her for your own gratification then leaving her laying there as u walk away no concern for how she’s doing when finished.
A wild cliffhanger leaves the reader excited to see what happens in bk 2 and if the faction they’ve partnered with can be trusted and How they will all free themselves from the powerful archeon which has unlimited money, power, and resources.
And what will happen between the 4 while freeing Kara from whatever archeon is holding over her head.

Sara delivers her usual style. As this starts out it kinda reminds us of best laid plans and all.
He's a job. A mark. A assignment. Part of an empire. She is a tingle. A intriguing bit to be put in her place.
As morning rolls in she's disappeared. The evening u. Remembered and he's left in s state of... well yeah.
He isn't easily forgotten. He should be. She's very good at what she does until she slips.
A lesson needs to be learned. Where there was 1 now its 3
And the hunt is on. The chase intense. The capture. Game On.
Think. How important is your job?
The banter sharp and delivered smoothly. The heat is hot. A why choose drama adventure that was so fun to read.

Kara is on a mission, but she was not prepared for the outcome of the Markov brothers. Her mission was to get close and learn their secrets, but what she got was something else entirely! This sizzling story had me needing a cool drink afterwards but what a rush,.
