Hudson Yards #5
Mine to Hunt: A Dark Romance
A second chance dark romance featuring hidden identity, forced proximity, a possessive hero, and an obsession that knows no limits.
Tristan Barlowe's fixation with the woman who destroyed him is what made him one of the most dangerous men in New York. Then Keira Lynch resurfaced and vanished again before he could get answers. All she left behind was a lockbox with a DNA test and a photograph of a boy with his eyes.
Six months of dead ends. Six months of erased footage, burned manifests, and silenced witnesses. Someone powerful is protecting her.
Or keeping her.
The trail leads to the Ferryman—a man who makes people vanish and calls it deliverance. And Keira isn't just locked inside this monster's glasshouse. She's his wife.
To reach her, Tristan sheds everything he was. New identity. New face. A ghost assigned to guard the woman who ruined him. But watching her disappear piece by piece behind those gilded walls?
That wasn't part of the plan.
Neither was falling for her all over again.

♾️⭐️/5
One of the easiest ♾️⭐️ reads for me. Tina said, I give you Dom and he was spectacular. Then she was like hold on a second, here’s Aaron, and I thought, how can she possibly top this. She said hold me beer because here’s Tristan Barlowe ladies, you’re welcome. So thank you Tina Spencer on bringing Tristan Barlowe into the fictional world and showing us another gold standard man who will stop at nothing, and I mean NOTHING, to get his woman and child back.
From the prologue itself, I knew I would be thinking of this book long after I read it. For her to write a man that will go through hell and back for the woman that is his soulmate and show her how to bring herself out of the ashes that are her life, I will be forever changed.
The way this book had me at the edge of my seat the entire time, I finished it in one sitting because like I always say, I need to know that they end up together with my own eyes, even though I know its a guaranteed HEA.
The one thing I will say that really made me love Tristan and Keira even more were the flash backs. They were subtle and not overwhelming throughout the book. They were gut wrenching at times because it was when Keira was dissociating but it was their beginning and how these two assassins became so interwoven, nothing was going to keep them apart for good. And the yearning. All the yearning in this book, it made it so much better. The fact that they both never forgot about each other and them being so close for most of the book and could not be together is another reason I was on the edge of my seat.
The dark humor infused in this book was impeccable to say the least. After everything, these two find a light at the end of the tunnel with not only their sweet son Hale (the name absolutely guts me/makes me melt) but this family at the Hudson Yard with Dom and Zoe, Aaron and Cat. A family forged with blood spilled between them thats thicker than any blood that might flow through them.
Tina went out with a bang in this series and will forever be an automatic read for me.
Thank you to Tina Spencer for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book is 100% a Dark Romance. Gritty, rough, and suspenseful. Our main characters include a damsel in destress, a morally grey hero, and their son. The MFC finds herself trapped in an abusive relationship with a top tier crime boss who has forced her to marry him. Our MMC comes to rescue her and their son by pretending to be security after a mysterious box showed up for him out of the blue. He didn't even know he had a son until this happened.
This book touched some really dark topics and I'd heavily recommend reading trigger warnings before diving in. Mental health matters.
This book does have a happy, satisfying ending and can be read as a stand-alone. It is just an emotional rollercoaster getting there. I was surprised how much I liked it. It was well written and had a fantastic buildup.

Tristan and Kiera! Omg what a rollercoaster ride of emotion it was. Tristan was absolutely unhinged and so dark, I'm in love with his character. I loved how he stayed firm to save Kiera and his Hale(his son) no matter what danger comes in. Too good! First book by this author and I'm obsessed.

Loved, Loved, Loved this book.
This was the first book I have read by Tina Spencer. I received an ARC copy of Mine to Hunt, and I absolutely loved it! I could not put the book down. It is a Second Chance Dark Romance. I cannot wait to read the other books in this series. Definitely a book I would recommend to my fellow book club members.

Review of advance copy received from Author
I’m going to start out by saying I received this as an ARC and that is how I discovered the series. I decided that the books seemed to interwoven to start at the end so I started at the beginning and binged the whole series over a week. I don’t recommend that. I will explain why later but first let’s look at this book. I gave 4 stars because on its own it’s a good read and my issues with it stem from the prior books.
Tristan and Kiera. 2nd chance love ( swoon) secret baby ( don’t love this trope but I can deal with it) and a badass FMC that is weakened by an abusive husband but finds her power again in the arms of her true love. And the smut is pretty good too. While technically it could be considered cheating, it’s hard to see it that way when the only reason Kiera ended up in the marriage was because the bad guy threatened Tristan if she didn’t.
You can’t help but root for them to win. For anyone that’s ever longer for “the one that got away” this is your HEA redemption story. The way Kiera’s soul recognizes Tristan before he reveals himself is the stuff dreams are made of. It’s beautiful. The way he can’t help himself around her….who wouldn’t want to be craved like this?! And stolen moments are always extra hot.
All right. Now I have to talk about this series. It has problems. Big timeline problems. In the first book ( Shattered Obsession) we meet Zoe, her brother Aaron, his best friend from childhood Dominik, and their best friend and business partner Tristan. It’s mentioned early on that Tristan comes from money and his father and grandfather put a clause on his inheritance that has him facing a deadline to get married. That concept just disappears entirely by Mine to Hunt.
Book 3, Untamed, is where the problems start. It has Aaron and Dom meeting Tristan for the first time. This doesn’t mesh well with the way their friendship is portrayed in the first 2 books, and confuses the timeline of Dom and Zoe’s relationship. Book 4 reveals Catarina from book 3 is Zoe’s coworker that we’ve known since book 1 as Via. It also has her orchestrating Zoe’s transfer to NY so Catarina can get closer to Aaron. There are inconsistencies here with the status of Zoe and Dom’s timeline since they’re now engaged in book 4. And suddenly Aaron and Tristan are some secret operatives? Like full abrupt transition to mafia ties and everything. Book 4 has us just accepting that Aaron no longer has a problem with Zoe and Dom’s being together despite his long-standing ban on that and we just have to accept that Via/Caterina are the same person, a mafia princess turned vigilante assassin, and Aaron’s now a trained operative rather than a real estate agent, and Tristan is a mess of secrets coming undone. And Kiera makes her first appearance.
And now, Mine to Hunt, book 5. We have Kiera as an operative in NY that vanishes and Tristan spends months looking for her. He finds her as a demeaned and broken “wife” to a brutal man and hiding her 5 year old son that Tristan fathered. The brutal man would not allow her any sense of freedom let alone be an operative. You cannot magically have 5 years of torture and a 5 year old son months later! They talk about years of friendship with Tristan months after book 4 which was a couple of months after they met. Which one is it? Maybe if you don’t read it straight through how I did it might not be so glaringly off. And Aaron goes from overprotective brother in books 1-4 to having Dom and Zoe assisting in the extraction mission for Kiera and Hale. That’s a full flip from “she can’t know” to her being a part of it.

Review of advance copy received from Author
There isn’t a high enough rating choice on here for this book!!
Some books entertain you. Some books consume you. Mine to Hunt absolutely devoured me whole.
This was one of the easiest infinity-star reads I’ve ever given because from the very first page, I knew I was in trouble. Tina Spencer somehow looked at the already impossible standard set by Dom and Aaron and said, hold my drink, I’m giving you Tristan Barlowe. And wow… Tristan did not disappoint.
Tristan is the kind of hero dark romance readers dream about…dangerous, obsessive, morally grey, utterly feral, and willing to burn every last thing to the ground for the woman and child who are his. His devotion had teeth. His love was brutal, relentless, and absolute. Watching him tear apart the world piece by piece to find Keira was everything I wanted and more.
And Keira… her story shattered me. The strength it took for her to survive, to endure, to keep protecting her son through unimaginable darkness, it was impossible not to ache for her. She was fierce in the quietest, most heartbreaking ways. Every moment she fought to hold onto herself and protect Hale hit me straight in the chest.
What made this book even more powerful was the yearning. The tension. The ache of two people who never stopped loving each other, never forgot each other, yet were forced to exist so close while oceans apart emotionally. It was exquisite torture in the best possible way.
The flashbacks were perfection. Seamlessly woven into the story, they gave us glimpses of how Tristan and Keira became so deeply bound to one another. They added emotion without slowing the pace, and every reveal made their connection feel even more fated and unbreakable.
And the pacing? Unreal. I finished this in one sitting because I physically could not stop reading. My heart was pounding, my anxiety was through the roof, and I needed to witness their ending with my own eyes. Tina Spencer had me stressed, emotional, feral, and fully invested from beginning to end.
The dark humor woven through the pain and chaos was brilliant, and seeing the found family element with the Hudson Yards crew made everything hit even harder. Blood may make relatives, but loyalty, sacrifice, and love made this family.
This was the perfect ending to an incredible series!! Raw, emotional, addictive, and unforgettable. Tina Spencer is an automatic one-click author for me, and this book cemented exactly why.
Thank you to Tina Spencer for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. What an honor to read this masterpiece early.

Loved the angst of seeing his love being tortured 3ft from him but still not being able to do anything
Tropes:
✨Second chance dark romance
✨Who did this to you?
✨Forced proximity
✨Yearning… the flashbacks were gold
✨they first met when they both were spies
✨Fake bodyguard
✨Touch her and die
✨Unhinged billionaire
✨Outlander level reunion angst (5 years apart)
✨When she is forced to crawl through glass, he counts every scar to pay back in full
✨When he first sees their son Hale
✨domestic abuse and trauma
✨Tell me everywhere he hurt you so I can kiss it away
The one thing I will say that really made me love Tristan and Keira even more were the flash backs. They were subtle and not overwhelming throughout the book. They were gut wrenching at times because it was when Keira was dissociating but it was their beginning and how these two assassins became so interwoven, nothing was going to keep them apart for good. And the yearning. All the yearning in this book, it made it so much better. The fact that they both never forgot about each other and them being so close for most of the book and could not be together is another reason I was on the edge of my seat.
The dark humor infused in this book was impeccable to say the least. After everything, these two find a light at the end of the tunnel with not only their sweet son Hale (the name absolutely guts me/makes me melt) but this family at the Hudson Yard with Dom and Zoe, Aaron and Cat.

I hold my breath, watching something in him shatter.
"Fuck it."
His mouth crashes into mine and everything else stops mattering.
I sit here on the floor in my ruined dress and think of the forest. Of the first time Tristan kissed me like he'd been holding his breath for years and finally inhaled.
Will he require my supervision as well?"
"No. Hale has his own team. But I need you to ensure Keira doesn't visit him unless I specifically authorize it. She becomes too emotional and it's not good for the boy."
Hearing the name lands like a bullet straight to my heart.
My middle name.
The same one she jokingly claimed as her own forever ago.
She remembered. She meant it.
And when our son took his first breath, she gave him the only piece of me she could.
A name Calder will never understand.
Every bitter thing I've carried over the years—the resentment, the rage, the certainty I thought I knew—all of it starts to splinter. Fractures spreading through iron I thought was solid.
I was wrong.
I was so fucking wrong.

The ending of this series almost makes me sad. I have really loved these characters and this world but like all good things it has come to an end. Tristan and Kiera were some of the characters we knew the least about. They felt like the mysterious ones in the "friend" group who we knew had something but weren't 100% on what. Now we know. Now we get to see the darkness that they both inhabited and got to choose to love them or hate them. Kiera is really going through it in this book. In a way that you wouldn't believe after getting to meet her character in the previous book. Tristan, who was almost a shadow in the previous books really shows us what he is made of in this one. Not to mention we were able to see some of our faves from the previous books in this series. Anytime the other characters we've met get to pop in and remind of how awesome they were I love it! We definitely get that here. The ending of this book felt so nostalgic, the gang was all together and everyone was just doing normal married/in relationship friends do. I really enjoyed that. They may be dark and have the capabilities to do things that the people around could only fathom but they are still normal is a funny way.
The spice in this book was good. I was happy when we see that the trauma that Kiera has had to endure has not spoiled her for a relationship. It could have definitely easily happened. 3 out of 5 on the spice scale. Overall, I liked this book and pretty much devoured it whole. I didn't want to finish it but I was happy that I did. These characters are the type that will stick with you. They have a story of enduring love that only happens once in a lifetime. The type that would recognize the other no matter the form that it took. I would definitely recommend this book to any dark romance girlie because out boy Tristan is definitely stabby and Kiera will be right by his side telling him where to poke. So long to this series and I can't wait for more from this author!

I cannot believe the Hudson Yards Series is over, but what a way to end it! Tristan is everything you want in a morally gray book boyfriend: a man who is going to burn the world for what is his. I've been dying for his book, and it was worth the wait. I never doubted Tina's incredible talent to write, and this book fully solidified it. There are some lines in this book that I will never get over. From the first line to the most beautifully heartbreaking words, like, how is it possible that Tina and I use the same alphabet because she is creating something so prophetic and I am barely writing coherent sentences?
This book is vivid, and I mean, I felt like I was in the same room during some of the activities; I literally felt like Tristan's accomplice. Be sure to read triggers if you have them because Tristan does not pull punches and Keira goes through some dark things. Like other books in this series, expect this to be a dark romance with spice so hot one would call it untamed. The spice was so perfect; the tension, the danger—I mean, what else could you want? My heart went from breaking to pounding. I could not read fast enough, and again, it shows how good of a writer Tina is because I was stressed! Don't worry, this book does end in an HEA, and we get to see our favorite characters from the past. In the end it's a book about reclaiming your fire no matter how long it's been or who has smothered it. It's a series, the perfect end to an incredible series, and I feel so lucky to have been able to be along for the journey.

*ARC Review*
Woah, this book was amazing and definitely worth the wait! Tristan and Keira's story was full of vengeance and emotion. It really brings the rest of the series full circle. Tristan and Keira deserve the family they've always dreamed of. There are flashbacks that give the history between them throughout the book, building tension through memories. You don't get to see their history until now, making both of them very mysterious until you step into their story.
Even though Tristan has convinced himself that he's over Keira, he'll stop at nothing to find her once he recieves a mysterious lock box with a photo inside. Keira is trapped in a horrific "marriage" and completely forgotten who she was. Constantly kept hidden and abused while also being paraded around as the example for her husband's associates. She's given up. Tristan has to witness some of these events with incredible restraint just to keep her safe until his team can extricate her.
They may have killed people before, but this time it's extremely personal. If they aren't careful, both of them could lose everything, including their son. Seeing the fight come back to Keira after everything she goes through gives people hope. She thought everything was lost and that he would never come for her. Thankfully, she was wrong. The SA that Kiera faces is handled very carefully and never justified throughout the entire book. However, please read the trigger warnings carefully.

5⭐️ for Mine to Hunt by Tina Spencer
Me, giving a 5 star rating to a second chance romance? He*l yes!
I LOVED this book so much, I'm still reeling from it. I swear I had rage flowing through my veins for most of the story, rage against Keira's "husband", rage against his treatment of her, rage against all the POS men involved in that treatment, but all that rage was counterbalanced by my deep love for Tristan.
Tristan, who said "mine" and meant it. Tristan, who said touch her and you d*e, ~literally~.
Tristan, who just wanted the love of his life and their son back, and nothing - and I mean NOTHING - was going to stop him. Possessive, jealous, *slightly* unhinged...he's all red flags and I ate it up.
I loved Keira's fierceness, how she would go to any length to protect her son, and seeing her reclaim herself was such a beautiful journey. She has a dark side too, and I love an unhinged FMC so much, probably even more than I love an unhinged MMC.
I screamed, I raged, I teared up, I swooned..all the feels were had during this reading journey; an absolute delicious read I devoured, leaving no crumbs behind.
Check TW before reading, but definitely recommend to my dark romance lovers out there!

*ARC REVIEW* Thank you Tina and Team for the opportunity!
This was my first mafia dark romance, and wow! Tina Spencer absolutely delivered.
From the very beginning, I was pulled into Tristan and Keira’s story. The way their past and present timelines intertwine keeps the tension high, and I found myself constantly wanting to know what happened next. It’s one of those books that’s hard to put down because every chapter gives you just enough to keep you hooked.
I will say definitely check the trigger warnings before diving in. This story doesn’t hold back, and that intensity is a big part of what makes it so gripping.
Tristan is the kind of MMC that dark romance readers will love: attentive, devoted, possessive, and completely ruthless when it comes to protecting what’s his. His obsession and emotional depth really drive the story, and watching his dynamic with Keira unfold (again) was one of my favorite parts.
The twist at the end was so well done. You can feel something building beneath the surface, but the way everything comes together at the end still manages to surprise you.
This was my first book by Tina Spencer, and now I definitely want to go back and read the rest of the series. If you’re into dark romance with obsession, high stakes, and emotional intensity, this is absolutely worth the read.

I’m feeling that bittersweet mix of emotions. Sad to see this series come to an end, but so satisfied that we finally got Tristan’s story. After barely a glimpse into what created the hyper-controlled figure we’ve come to know so far, diving into the enigma that is Tristan Barlowe was everything I’d been waiting for and more.
This book’s pacing? Edging personified in the best way! Like holding your breath and peeking through your fingers because you’re half convinced Tristan and Keira were going to get caught at any second before reaching their HEA.
What really stood out, though, was how well the dark humour was woven into such a heavy, intense subject matter. It didn’t feel out of place, just perfectly timed moments of relief that added even more depth to the story.
This entire series will always hold a special place on my virtual bookshelf. It introduced me to the dark romance genre, Plus I love how it embraces found family, especially the kind built around people who don’t quite fit into society’s idea of “proper.” There’s something really powerful about finding your people, no matter how unconventional that looks.
If you’ve been following this series, this is a deeply satisfying, tension-filled conclusion that does Tristan, and Dom and Aaron, justice. And if you’re a dark romance reader who loves obsession, danger, and a hard-earned HEA—this one is absolutely worth the ride!

I'm so glad to see that Tristan got his story with Keira. This book is heavy emotionally. Please read trigger warnings before starting. Tina did great work addressing what can go through a survivor's mind when they are in that survival mode. You can tell that this series meant a lot to her and her own journey.
Keira isn't who she used to be. She does everything to protect those she loves, even if it means sacrificing her own body and mind. She is willing to be a pawn and lose sight of who she truly is because it is her only option after she was forced to go into hiding. When you have to become a ghost of yourself, you don't feel like you will ever go back to normal. You lose hope of the future and just try to make it through the day. Keira represents that, but also shows that there is always the possibility of gaining your strength back. Sometimes all you need is that glimmer of hope.
Tristan is her glimmer. She thinks of the memories of him and what she could have had. Meanwhile, he does everything in his power to get to her. Both of them struggle with their strengths and restraints in different ways. One is for survival and one is containing rage. There is a lot to lose for both of them but they do get their HEA in an intense conclusion.

Mine to Hunt drew me in pretty quickly, but it was Tristan Barlowe who really held my attention the entire time. The depth of his devotion to Keira, even while navigating half truths and assumptions about her past, made him impossible to dislike. There’s a raw intensity to the way he loves her; fierce, and just a little unhinged in the best way for a dark romance.
Keira’s situation felt suffocating. The atmosphere surrounding her captivity was written so vividly that it left me feeling unsettled, like I was right there beside her, breathing in the same eerie, controlled air. That sense of unease threaded beautifully through the entire story.
And the chemistry? Absolutely electric. Every moment Tristan and Keira circled each other had me waiting IMPATIENTLY for that inevitable collision. Their connection was addictive and impossible to ignore.
But let’s talk about that ending… because excuse me?? I did not see parts of that coming, and it easily became one of my favorite aspects of the book. The kind of ending that makes your jaw drop and blush at the same time.
A dark, obsessive second chance romance that delivers tension, atmosphere, and a love that refuses to stay away.

Thank you so much to Tina Spencer and Books & Bloom PR for the early ARC!

Did I devour this book in a day! Yes! Yes I did!!
What an ending to our Hudson Yard boys! I absolutely loved Tristan’s story and Tina definately gave us the send off we needed.
These boys have fought together throughout the series and the way they came together in the end was poetic and amazing.
Let’s talk trigger warnings quickly because this book is not for the faint hearted - please read them beforehand (regardless if you want spoilers or not because this is a dark romance with a HEA.
Keira is one strong FMC and although she goes through a lot in this book and she seems timid and weak - she is doing it all to survive and for her son. Il be honest her story was absolutely heartbreaking.
Tristan is the GOAT of MMC’s - I loved him - his approach to the every situation was spot on and loved him stepping up and getting into situations he did all for Keira and Hale. His patience was strong and worth the wait.
This book 100% had me on the edge of my seat and I couldn’t put it down. I needed to know what was going to happen and Tina definately did not disappoint.
Thank you so much to Tina and her team for this eARC in exchange for my honest review

Book 5 in the Hudson Yards series: Tristan and Keira. This is a past trauma, mental health rep, DV survivor (not with MMC), secret child, second chance, morally grey MCs, obsessed MMC, “who did this to you”, forbidden love, past and present POV, “f*ck it” moment”, “burn the world to get to them”, captive x hero MMC, “bodyguard”, hidden identity, masked MMC, found family, forced proximity, dark romance.
This book. Ooof! (In the best way possible). This book had it all: The hell and back that Tristan and Keira went through to be back together, the way this had me on the edge of my seat and biting my nails, the great action and long haul planning that was written so well. I was sucked into this book from page one until the very end.
Even though it is book 5 in the series I had no trouble getting into this story without having read the previous books. Although, I am sure you would get a much better understanding of events that led up to this and character dynamics with reading the previous books in the series. That all being said, this was such a great read and I would totally recommend this read!

This isn’t written well. The author thinks they’re writing poetically but it’s just cringy. There’s no flow at all and really shows a lack of writing prowess. Paced poorly, plotted poorly and pretty bizarre in some parts. For eg, she’s an abused wife and her husband is sleeping beside her. She’s having a wet dream about the ex (the MMC). He enters their room and watches it happen - touches her, etc. could he not have instead used the time to unalive the abusive husband and help rescue her?! No - he just tastes her on his fingers and leaves. Also, this psychopath, abusive husband who has eyes on her all the time and someone she can’t escape is literally in the bed - are you telling me I really should believe he slept though her moans and his talking to her in her sleep to get her to cum? They then follow it up by hooking up whenever possible. He wears a condom the first time but the next few times she’s bare and mind you this woman could be carrying stds from her abusive husband. Mind you, during this time there is a 5 yo also at risk. Please people! There is a time and a place for this - I love spice but I don’t like dumb as hell characters and plot lines.

ARC Review 📖
Mine to Hunt
Hudson Yards Book 5
Written by Tina Spencer
I love the jump between past and present, literally one of my favorite things.When it comes to a second chance for romance because I want to know what happened in the past as well as where things are going. The banter between them is hysterical. They have great chemistry. Man does their story get real messy and dark check trigger warnings ⚠️
Tristan is determined to find the women that got away but is not that simple. He has a bunch of pieces to the puzzle but can't seem to fit them all together. Keira had gotten herself in quite the predicament and just maybe Tristan is her way out. He will not stop at anything to get back what is his. Buckled up this is going to be a bumpy ride.
The last 80% of this book kept me on the edge of my seat because I didn't know how it would all unfold.
This is my first Tina Spencer book and it will definitely not be my last. When I saw the opportunity with Book and Bloom I knew I had to read this book. I may have started with book five, but all it has done is made me want to dive in from the beginning. I fell in love with each of the important characters because of this book.
🖤Morally Gray MMC

Thank you to Tina Spencer for providing me with an ARC of Mine to Hunt.
This is a dark, intense, and emotionally gripping story that draws you in from the beginning and stays with you long after the final page. Some love stories are not easy, and this is one where the happy ending feels truly earned.
The emotional depth and raw intensity of the narrative stand out, supported by well-developed and complex characters. Tristan is intense, dark, and dangerous, while Kiera is strong yet deeply shaped by her circumstances. Her resilience, even when pushed to her limits, is both powerful and heart-wrenching to witness.
The story explores themes of pain, survival, and second chances, showing how love can find its way even in the most difficult situations. The connection between the characters feels genuine and hard-fought, which adds to the overall impact of the story.
Overall, this is an edgy, gripping read that will appeal to readers who enjoy dark romance with strong emotional depth.

Release Date : April. 23 / 2026
Book Review : 5 ⭐️
Spice Level : 3.5 🌶️
Guys, to say I’m obsessed with this story is an understatement.
I want to say Thank you to Tina for trusting me to be apart of her team and for the opportunity to be a BETA for this book!
Okay but this book??? I’m still emotionally unwell and honestly not accepting responsibility for it.
Mine to Hunt by Tina Spencer absolutely wrecked me in the best, most chaotic way. This is second chance dark romance DONE RIGHT.
Tristan Barlowe….
Sir. You unhinged, possessive menace. I am obsessed. The way this man spends months tearing apart the world trying to find Keira… the dedication, the rage, the absolute inability to let her go??
Delicious. He’s dangerous, a little feral, and completely gone for her and I ate it up.
Keira, I loved her. She’s not just surviving, she’s enduring. Everything she goes through had me stressed, but what really got me was her love for her son, Ronan. That fierce, protective, do anything kind of love? You feel it in every decision she makes, and it made me root for her even harder.
And together 😱
The tension, the history, the way they crash back into each other… I was fully spiraling.
If you love a possessive hero who will burn the world down for his girl, second chance angst, and high stakes tension…
yeah, you need this immediately.

I am obsessed with Tristan and Keira’s love story. Thank you Tina for allowing me an ARC read! When I saw I DEVOURED this book, I mean I was hooked, I had the entire thing read in less than 24 hrs and wanted more!
Tristan?! Where so I start, hot 🥵 the lengths he will go for his girl and his son are insane. And the RAGE he felt while he sat there and had to endure what his woman was going through was simmering off the page. No one is safe, he’s seeing everything, he is lethal, dangerous and he has a list and he’s checking it twice for everyone who’s disrespected what’s his! 😉
Keira?! I absolutely love how she was written, the depths of hell she went through not only for the man she loved but to protect her child is MAMA BEAR ENERGY. Like girl deserves a happy ending cause she’s meet the devil himself and smile if she knew her baby was okay.
Together their banter, their chemistry, their devotion and the stakes are higher than ever.

Tina Spencer has done it again! I Just finished Mine to Hunt and I’m honestly so satisfied with how it all came together. From the very beginning, I couldn’t stop turning the pages, every chapter pulled me in deeper and kept me hooked!! The plot of this book was everything!
Tristan and Keira have officially become one of my favorite couples. Their dynamic was so engaging, and although Tina says this is the end for this series, I hope one day we get to see more of their story because I’m not ready to let them go yet.
Tina did such a great job keeping the story entertaining the entire way through, and the ending was exactly what I needed, it was fully satisfying without feeling rushed.
And let’s just say… the spice delivered! It was exactly what I was hoping for without taking over the story.
If you’re looking for something addictive, emotional, and just the right amount of spicy, this one is definitely worth the read.

Thank you to Tina Spencer for an ARC copy of her book in exchange for an honest review.
It is important to me as a book reviewer to always keep things transparent and honest. That being said, I really thought that I had read dark romance before. I realize now that just because a MMC wears all back and has a spiky helmet, that does not equal "dark" romance.
Mine to Hunt is a DARK romance. Therefore, I had to skip the graphic scenes because well, I discovered I'm actually a fluffy little unicorn inside.
That being said, I want to review this book based on the plot, characters, and writing. Mine to Hunt moves fast, and the plot is intriguing. You will NOT be bored reading this story. The characters are well developed. Who doesn't love a possessive, obsessive hunk of a MMC who will do anything and everything to save you? Finally, the writing is excellent. Spencer definitely drafted a captivating tale.

ARC review 🥀
Mind to Hunt completely HOOKED me from the beginning.
The dark, suspenseful setting created the perfect atmosphere& the second chance romance mixed with the fake bodyguard trope made it impossible to put down.❤️🔥
KEIRA was such a compelling FMC. She felt lost and weighed down by everything she had been through, and when things started falling apart, my heart completely broke for her. She felt almost like a ghost inside her own life. Watching her slowly find herself again become stronger, and finally feel alive was one of my favorite parts of the story.🥹😭
TRISTAN was exactly the kind of MMC I love🖤🥹 protective, respectful, quietly intense & always there for KEIRA without taking away her strength. The way he cared for her, supported her& reminded her who she really was made their relationship feel so emotional and real.😭🥀
I also loved the found family element 🖤
Overall, this was such an enjoyable and MEMORABLE READ - dark, emotional, intense & full of heart.

⭐⭐⭐ (3 stars)
This was a gripping, high-intensity read that absolutely delivers on tension, chemistry, and emotional stakes. From the very beginning, the story pulls you into a dark, high-risk world where every interaction feels charged and purposeful.
The dynamic between Keira and Tristan is the heart of the book. Their connection carries a strong sense of history and longing, and I really enjoyed watching that unfold alongside the present-day tension. There’s a clear emotional thread between them that keeps the story moving, especially as the stakes continue to rise.
The pacing kept me engaged throughout, with a steady build of suspense and a sense that everything is leading toward something bigger. It’s the kind of book that’s easy to keep turning pages on because you always want to see what happens next.
Overall, this is a solid read within its genre—fast-paced, intense, and full of dramatic moments that will keep you hooked from start to finish.

Tropes:
🖤 Hidden identity
🖤 Dark romance
🖤 Suspense
🖤 BDSM
🖤 Man obsessed
🖤 Billionaire
🖤 Dual timelines
🖤 Touch her and d*e💀
I am obsessed with this book! It was so addictive and fast-paced. Tristan receives a lockbox with a picture of a woman from his past with THEIR son. He goes to drastic measures to find and save them, especially after he finds out Keira is being harmed.
This book was dark and touched on serious topics like DV and SA. I never wanted a character to receive his demise as I did the villain in this book.
Both characters were so strong, determined, and willing to burn the world down for each other. Not to mention the spice was HOT.🥵 Their love was extremely earned.
This was my first read from the author, but it won’t be the last!
