August 31, 2022i was super close to putting the third part down and not finishing out this book, but i'm glad i continued reading anyway! it's really so well written and it reminds me a lot of lemonade by nina pinacchi, both heroes have similarly warped perceptions of justice/revenge, and big time daddy issues lol. (and i saw in a review somewhere that originally these parts were published as a full book in italian so there's that similarity too.) but anyways - since i'm getting ready to go into the final portion i figured i oughta put down my thoughts before i finish the book and forget everything i want to say.
guy - he's been through a lot, what can i say. i don't think i like him, but he has his moments where he's pretty charming. a big reason i almost stopped reading is because of the k-gang nonsense, and though i still think it's all rather silly, i can see why the author included it. guy needs an outlet for his violent tendencies, and i also think it's a little bit of poetic justice for him. hurting and killing men who have committed awful violence against women and children... guy wants to be batman so badly. for all that he does to jane, and everyone else he involves in his schemes, he really is a pretty decent man. fucked up, no doubt, but i think by the end it'll be clear he had his heart in mostly the right places.
jane - sweet jane. i love a heroine like jane, there isn't enough of them!! whatever happened to a good old fashioned damsel in distress? guy believes his manipulation of her to be so complete - stupid man - when really she's just been in love with him all of these years?! i love it. i so hope that guy grovels like hell for taking advantage of her when he finds out the truth about *that* night.
susan/stephen/the father - all very interesting characters, stephen less so than the others, but i do actually like when narrations breaks over to them!! i wouldn't mind reading books about these side characters at all.

10 🌟! Again I'm speechless... Well almost :) Because I have to say that I would never like to meet Guy in the real life but I sure enjoyed reading this book!
I remembered two more books that this series reminds me of:
1.Beauty and the best
2.Torment by Dyilan Page (only, thank heavens, lighter version.. But only marginally)

This one was harder to finish but I pushed through. I thought I would like Guy more but I don’t, he has nothing redeemable about his character at all. I didn’t enjoy the background story with The Gang of Knives or the secondary characters Susan and Stephen. Doubtful I will read the last book.

Jane is still contractually bound to Guy, navigating the thin line between submission and emotional dependency. Though their relationship is riddled with possessive control and punishment games, it is also marked by moments of vulnerability, especially on Jane’s part.
Guy’s jealousy and fear of losing Jane are highlighted when he returns to Ashbourne House to find several eligible bachelors calling on her. His reaction is immediate and territorial—he threatens and intimidates the guests, then punishes Jane under the guise of teaching her a lesson.
Throughout the book, there is a constant push-pull of Guy asserting dominance and Jane responding with a mix of resistance and desperate affection. Despite the psychological games, Jane confesses her love for him multiple times, only for Guy to deflect or downplay his feelings—although his actions betray a deep attachment.
As the story progresses, Guy’s protectiveness grows, especially when outside threats like Duke St. Court and other suitors begin circling. There’s also a side plot involving Lady Susan, who is pressured into seducing Jane’s father, Charles Hartwell, adding another layer of manipulation and moral ambiguity to the overall story.
By the end of this book, it’s clear that Jane and Guy’s relationship, however twisted and unconventional, is developing into something more emotional and permanent—though still deeply entangled in power, ownership, and psychological games.

Hmmm.... we got a bit too close to Guy's bumhole in this one that I ever wanted to. Not much else happened, and I started to get really chuffing bored. Going to call it quits here and skip the last book, before I most likely end up right inside Guy's colon!

The K-Gang aspect of this story was a distraction, bringing in additional characters that were not necessary. Overall, I didn't enjoy this book as much as the first three.

A couple more smut scenes in this part. Some development of the plot. This was probably the section that got my hopes up the most. This could have been the turning point (hint: it was not)
