Marry Freaks

Scarlett Force #5

by C.M. Stunich

Honeymooners Wanted for Hooliganism!

Lights, camera, action.
Unleash the fuckboys.

An angsty, wanted killer.
The mob’s vicious prince
A blue-eyed undertaker.
A yakuza househusband.

Can these crazy stalkers be domesticated?
Loving four men is my greatest weapon.
It’s also my ticket to the darkest level of hell.

Don’t make me regret falling in love, boys.

Deep breaths. Weapons strapped to my strong thighs.
This neighborhood is dark, but there’s honor among thieves.
Come on, Prescott. Do me a solid. Keep our secrets.

The one thing you all forgot was
I am the most fucking PSYCHO of them all.
I will race, kill, and romance my way to the top.

No regrets.

End Scene.
Need anything else? Talk to my agent.



MARRY FREAKS is a 230,000 word long beast of a novel that was obviously written by someone insane. Do not read this book if you dislike chemistry between the female lead and the four male leads. Do not read this if you dislike action, tomfoolery, or classic cars. The Scarlett Force series is now complete; this is the final book.

P.S. Marry Freaks is the intended title. Not Merry Freaks (with an 'e'), because it sounds like Christmas. Marry, as in, getting hitched. kthx

Genres: Romance, Why Choose, Dark, Contemporary, Polyamory

Scarlet Muthafreaken Force

It’s been a while since I’ve had book hangover this strong, I tried to be a good gal and drag this one out because I anticipated it, but fudge muffins dude this was some good stuff. I loved this series so much, scar can be such a pompous ass but she has the stuff to back it up so you can’t even judge her for it. I loved reading a confident fmc, and most importantly the men OMFG THE MENNn. I loved how they came together in this book and the bromance it made me tear up. I don’t like to compare CM’s writing to anyone’s because it’s one of a kind but the way the men formed their bonds reminded me of the way The Ruthless boys of the zodiacs did in theirs. I loved it so much and I’m sad that it’s ending. I’m tempted to read Havoc again but I’m a bit of a cry baby when it comes to bullymance now. Ugh still a good read, I already have some cm rereads lined up for me. To nurse this hangover but if you haven’t read yet please dooo, just be aware of your triggers and look them up where CM links them so you aren’t spooked. There was some tough moments in this book. Any I think I’m going to reread Daughter of a serial killer series, just in case you guys needs some others recs. CM I would love a short continuation with everyone to see where they are even further in the future. In the mean time I’m so happy the gang got THEIR happy ending.

[Christina · Rating 5 out of 5]

I get such a lady boner for good characters, and CM definitely knocked it out of the park with this series. Everyone from our FMC, to her obsessive men, to her besties, to her crew, to the villains, and the side characters in-between lived and breathed on the page in a way that just sucks you into the plot and really drags you into the story. I really love how much CM leans into the personalities of her characters, flaws and all, and even when they grow and change, the heart of they are as a person remains the same, for better and sometimes for worse, haha.

By far and away, though, my favorite part of this series was how much the guys learned to love each other like brothers and friends, especially because 3 out of the 4 never knew what any sort of familial love felt like and none of them really had friends. It honestly had my heart damn near fit to bursting so many times in this last book with so many feelings. I cried so many happy and emotional tears that I probably looked like a psycho, and I don’t even care. I’m so stupid-giddy-punch-drunk-happy that this band of marry freaks got their happily ever after because they deserve it.

I will note that you definitely have to suspend some disbelief about mob, gangs, and the capabilities of seventeen and eighteen-year-olds being able to handle all of this the way that they did, but Stunich writes it in such a tough-bitch way that it straddles the line of believability just enough for me, and I was thoroughly entertained.

[Vix · Rating 4 out of 5]

okay, so… after 4 years of waiting, 781 pages and 2 days reading this, i’m glad that we finally got the end of their story.

i had FUN reading this… the bromance is definitely the highlight of this book. like really, scarlett was just an extra at this point.

i didn’t think i’d be able to like ash at all and cm stunich proved me otherwise. i ended up loving everyone, although bohnes will always be bohnes.

i liked the epilogues a lot and they reminded me why i fucking hate victor so much, jesus christ

now… last book in a series is always a touchy subject because either they work or they don’t and i struggle to find a last book that i can give a 5 star tbh…

this can’t be a 5 star to me because of some reasons:

• i found some bits of it very repetitive… inner monologues don’t need to be that extensive either imo.

• scarlett is just too hard — like i get it, she’s a badass and a girl boss, but the girl is never soft towards the guys, don’t rely on her girls enough and the dog talk was annoying

• like any other high school/academy RH setting, i always age them up in my head and they all know too much at a young age and shit but this had some crazy things that were just… too much for me to not be annoyed by it.

• the mob letting them go is also crazy and so not acceptable imo lol it makes 0 sense for them to be out of the family…

anyway, overall i enjoyed it a lot… and i’m glad to have finished this and be able to say goodbye to these characters

Oh Ash

I didn't expect the boys' friendships to get me like they did. This was perfect. As always. LOVE THE CAMEO

This can't be the end

This series was phenomenal, at least as good as HAVOC if not better (the blasphemy, Oscar forgive me lol). I'm devastated that it's over. Scarlett is everything. The way she made me cheer and cry while she navigated her way through Prescott, the political drama, the mob and everything else. The girl from the wrong side of the tracks so to speak with more brains and balls then the wealthy fools.

Her f*ckb@ys are all so unique and individual but they thrive on common experiences of loss and pain. Their development and evolution over the five books is eloquent, beautiful and painstakingly tragic. The things they have lived through and the way they learn to cope and survive is breathtaking. From Ash to Alexei and Widow and Bohnes all 4 are refreshingly deep and complex and oh so yummy.

This book and really the entire series are incredible, well written, adventurous dark academia smut with a side of mafia and mayhem. Caitlin outdid herself with this series. It was well worth the wait. Here's to hoping she returns to Prescott one day.

[Phoenix Drake · Rating 4 out of 5]

Marry Freaks closes out the Scarlett Force series, but it doesn't reach the level of the first half of the series. The books are packed with outrageous characters, chaotic energy, and over-the-top action. The problem is that this final installment spends far too much time spinning its wheels. At more than 230,000 words, the story loses sight of where it's going.

There was simply too much fluff. Scene after scene added little to the plot. It felt as though the author wasn't sure where to take the story, so the characters wandered until the next important event. I skipped 30 to 40 percent of the book.

The first three books were addictive, fast-paced, and impossible to put down. The last two books lost that momentum. The humor and character interactions remained entertaining, but they couldn't make up for how little the plot advanced through long stretches.

I don't regret reading the series. Scarlett is a fantastic heroine, the relationships are fun, and C.M. Stunich's creativity shines throughout.

The series was the best thing I've ever read

Scarlett Force is my new favorite series. I've read a lot of books, so it's difficult to surprise me anymore, but this series had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I loved every second of this series, even when I was sobbing with worry for Scarlett's fuckboys. I got really attached to them, what can I say? Also I really do hope there's another Havoc book that is a crossover with Scarlett Force, that sounds amazing. All of the stars and the moon to the Scarlett Force series. I can't wait for the paperbacks to release so I can display my favorite series on my bookshelf. Reading rec-> if you liked Tate James' Hades series and are a Riverdale/ Fast and Furious fan, you'll love this. Read Scarlett Force first and then read Havoc, same universe but Scarlett came first despite Havoc being written first. C.M. is always one-upping herself and I am here for the ride!

Marry Freaks: Scarlett Is a Force to Be Reckoned With

Scarlett Force is in a high-octane, man-loving, havoc-wreaking category all her own. She's the embodiment of female power, confidence, and pride. She never apologizes for who she is, and she's living her very best life.

What surprised me most throughout the series, and what I loved most, was the relationship development. Scarlett's men connected with one another on a level I've rarely seen in reverse harem books. Each of them is unique, compelling, and memorable, and every one fits a different part of Scarlett perfectly.

The entire series was an absolute joy to read, and this final book delivered a deeply satisfying conclusion. I honestly can't imagine a better ending for Scarlett, Widow, Alexei, and Ash.

I wholeheartedly recommend giving this series a chance.

[Amanda · Rating 4 out of 5]

This would have been 5 stars but I really hated how the Ash/ Alexei situation was handled. Widow described it as humiliating, forced, traumatic, and Ash had “hate in his eyes” etc but Scarlett seemed thoroughly entertained. She even immediately told her friends about it. Basti then proceeded to ask for details about it because he wasn’t made aware of the situation. Scarlet was more concerned about Widow than Ash or Alexei. It really grossed me out how Scarlett handled it. The turn in hers and Ash’s relationship was strange and kind of out of no where to me. He was my favorite before but the dramatic change in personality was a little much for me. I still loved all his little quirks but it was taken too far, in my opinion. Bohnes was still perfect. I grew to like Widow a lot more in this book. Scarlett’s arrogance became a major ick in this book. She became repetitive and overbearing. I still loved the series. This may be one of my top favorites by this author.

[Kiley · Rating 5 out of 5]

A “force” to be reckoned with ending!

What a ride this series was! Scarlett Force is a one of the strongest FMCs I’ve ever read about. I can see why fans were clamoring for the series to be completed. I’ve read many books of this authors books and I have to say this one is my favorite! The ending is perfect.

A personal observation: In many books where the main characters are leaders, the stories seem to forget that part and the characters become self absorbed and totally neglect the people they are responsible for, but Scarlett Force never forgets her crew, her best friends, and who she’s fighting for. It’s what easily makes Scarlett one of my top five favorite characters of all time.

Unapologetically Unhinged—and I Loved It!

I read the first two books in this series a couple of years ago and returned to read the remaining three this year. I can honestly say that this series has changed my life and shifted my perspective. The story and its characters have helped me grow and evolve as a person. Scarlet Force, in particular, has taught me so much about strength, empowerment and being completely unapologetic about who you are. I definitely aspire to have her confidence and strength—although perhaps not her psychopathic tendencies! I will take so much away from these books, and I’ll definitely reread them in the future. This final book kept me on my toes throughout, and the main characters were genuinely perfect. I absolutely loved it!

[Susan H · Rating 5 out of 5]

In the final lap of the Scarlett Force Invitational things don’t always go as planned. But, with love, trust, determination, and some outrageous driving they managed to pull out an absolutely fabulous victory. Or do they?
The Police Chief, The Mayor, The Developer, and their various cronies are all fighting hard to beat these “meddlesome kids” by whatever means possible.
The Family is … well, The Family.
We vote for great driving and true love, yes? Scarlett and her boys are all in.
So am I.
As you wish😉

[Malinda · Rating 5 out of 5]

After years of waiting for this book I can happily say it was worth the wait! Such an epic and fitting conclusion for the Queen herself. And the way those f*ckboys learned how to share 🥵 Usually too much spice in books becomes repetitive for me and I end up skimming but this book had me hanging on every word. The story and the absolutely unhinged inner dialogue was everything I wanted and MORE! I want to read it again with my slut eyes and eat it up with my slut teeth. And it's not hot in here, I'm definitely just a ho.

[Deborah Dunne · Rating 5 out of 5]

Marry Freaks

An absolutely glorious conclusion to Scarlett Force. It was well worth the wait and invoked all the emotions throughout. Adrenaline rush multiple times, laughter, tears, and finally the happy ending they all deserved! This book is an absolute masterpiece, probably CM’s best work to date. Now I need to go reread Havoc though since I’m all nostalgic for Prescott and Bernie. Can’t wait for Murders and Meetcutes to cleanse my palate next!

[Brittany · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a wild ride! Loved every minute of it. Was it insanely worried about one of the boys dying even though this happens in all our queen's books? Yes! I was so glad Ash made it! When he was so happy that the family had gotten their sperms back and told Widow he could die happy! I almost cried! It was so cool to see years into their future and see Bernie and the rest of Havoc.
This whole series was amazing!

[Suzume · Rating 3 out of 5]

So I absolutely love this author, and I have been waiting for her to finish this series, so I am thrilled that she did! Of course the boys are awesome. Mostly loved the character development, although Ash and Scarlett's treatment of him went a little to "simp" for me. And I thought Scarlett ended up a little too full of herself. I normally rate everything this author writes a 4 or 5, so yeah, enjoyed but I think it went a little too dark this time.

[suzanne mcguinnity · Rating 5 out of 5]

Mild spoilers

I loved, loved, loved this and I'll deffo be buying the set when there out. BUT I'm a little upset about Ash, that guy went through hell, and yes he could have used his safe word, but I think he was too fked in the head to be giving willing consent for what scarlet did to him. I think she treated him like absolute shit at times. But I'm glad things worked out for them all in the end. Can't pick a fav hubby coz their all great.

[Corie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Finally finished this series! I absolutely loved the end where the story linked with the havoc gang having read that book prior I hadn’t realised the 2 books linked until I had started reading but seeing some of the characters again at the end was lovley. I think Scarlett and Bernadette are both bad ass fmc’s & would be the best of friends! A novella where they did a ‘job’ today would be a great read! Although I did feel this book did at times drag I did enjoy the series overall

I am so sad that it has come to an end this is one one of my first reverse harem books I have ever read and I love this series to the end. Ugh the baddest bitch Scarlet Force, daddy bohnes, daddy widow and daddy alexie those are my favorites. I never liked ash. But this series was crazy and so memorable. Your the best CM Stunich

[Claudia Bryant · Rating 5 out of 5]

Exceptional!!

I've been waiting for the finale of this series for over a year and a half. And oh my goodness it was soooo worth the wait. Quite a few unexpected turns and the suspense...wow! Had to go for a quick walk to work out some angst and really strong feels a few times. Ms. Stunich, you should be proud of this series. It was an awesome ride.

[Angel · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was spectacular

This author never disappoints me. This book was awesome. I could not put it down. I love it. And just when I did not think she could outdo herself she did. I am obsessed with this book. I love all the boys and Scarlett is all that and a bag of chips. She is a baddie above all baddies. And C.M. Stunich is the queen.

[Alecia McKenzie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this series

I read the first 2 books randomly. After that I waited for the rest to drop. I even talked to the author on TikTok bc waiting for 4/5 to drop was insane. I love this series. It’s a 10/10 for me. It makes me laugh, cry and rage. My love of S Scarlett’s character has led me to so many other strong FMCs. I can’t wait to read what this author does next!

[Galina Sulaiman · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Force that is Scarlett

The end of an era! Dear goodness this book I read sooooooo very slowly because I didn’t want to say goodbye. It is a beautiful, brutal, deadly chaos of speeding cars and evil villains. Thank you CM for bringing such an epic representation of the legend of Scarlett Force.

[Allie Moss · Rating 1 out of 5]

It took me 2 weeks to force myself to finish this series. After waiting literal YEARS for the 4th book to be released, I was expecting much more than we got. Drug out, repetitive crap is what we got. I could go on and on about the end of this series, but I’ve wasted enough time with it already. Do yourself a favor and skip the last of this series.

[Gemma Ní Daíbhís · Rating 5 out of 5]

Just yes!!!

I read Havoc ages ago and then this came along and now im re reading Havoc after Reading Scarlett and her band if fuckboys hahahahhaa and I need a Bohnes in my life that man!!

Stunning read.

Wowsers, what an emotional ride this book was. I was so happy to finally get Scarlett's last book and it was totally worth the wait. There was so much tension, skullduggery and twisted plotting with one heck of a finale, I just loved it. Thank you.

Been a huge fan of this author and Havoc is one of my all time fav series. Scarlet Force has one upped it though. I absolutely love the found family vibes, suspense, emotion, cars, spice, characters and most of all the female power. Excellent series.
