ARC's given to me by Author through Booksprout. My review is given voluntarily.
I gave this storyline 4 stars.
So this story is something a little different than what I'm use to reading, not as romantic as your typically simple love story boy meets girl!
The storyline does spread throughout all 5 books starting with the 1st book Flawed, 2-Bruised, 3-Corrupted 4-Dismantled and finished with 5- Crushed
This is the order of reading them.
This was quite an adventure intense storytelling with family dynamics heartbreaking, unforgivable betrayals, corruptions galore, really raw emotionally I did cry a lot, steamy carnel sex, Chance does tend to flip flop from one woman to the other (which I didn't really like that much) the story as a whole might be a bit to long in my opinion I skimmed some sparts, but I have to be honest I did get hooked in story as a whole, and kinda binge read the books for hours. Forgiveness, understanding, family and retribution does prevail in the end which I must say felt really good!
Not sure if love wins in the end though??!
I didn't get my normal HEA that I'm used to, I felt like that last epilogue finished to abruptly, after all the emotions this whole story puts you through, we definitely needed a better closure to Chance and Layla's story a longer epilogue would have been nice. This is just my opinion from a romantic at heart's point of view!
These books are cliffhangers, so you need to read all of them to get to the conclusion of the story. Each book is in-between 16-20 chapters. They each take you on a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs, twists and turns.
Overall I did enjoy them!
