I spent one amazing night with the twins, Alexey and Dmitri Orlov, heirs to the Russian Mafia throne. We made a deal. One night with no strings attached. Now they’re convinced I’m theirs.
The only thing is, I don’t want to be attached. I wanted to experience what they were offering. Now I’m finding myself entangled in their lives. But they don’t come alone.
Ghost, Caden, and Banger come with their own secrets. Secrets that can kill. Secrets they’re running from.
We’re all running from something. It can be innocent or something more sinister.
I’m running from love, but this might be one thing I can’t outrun.
**The Heart of Psychos Part One is part of a duet and will end on a cliffhanger. It's a reverse harem/polyamorous romance intended for mature readers only. The FMC doesn't choose between love interests and there is male/male relationships/content. It's set in a fictional city in California, Abbs Valley, and will be the first of this world with more to come. Be sure to check the content/trigger warnings in the front of the book before proceeding.
All the feels… all of them.. About all the things!!
I have soo much to say but I dont want to give anything away… I will say that I’m freaking OBSESSED!!
I truly went thru every emotion reading this book.. I laughed my ass off repeatedly, I fell in love with these characters over and over again, I cried, I hardcore hated on a couple characters (once u read it trust me you will too) …the spice levels… oh nelly… The spicy smexy scenes… 🥵🥵🥵 off the freaking charts… like damn can Ames write a scene… I’m soo here for it!! The bond, friendship, and love that these characters have for each other is a beautiful thing to read. As always Ames makes you forget your reading, she draws you all the way in.
See… like I said all the feels about all the things!!
Ugh… the Cliffy…if you’ve read Ames books.. you know her cliffhangers are no joke… but oomph.. this one sucker punched me straight in the feels… I yelled, I screamed, I almost threw my phone (it has my kindle app) I cried…. I need book 2 right now, immediately if not sooner… I need it!!!
A total must read.. esp if you have read and followed along with all things Abbs Valley…You will not regret it!!
The trigger warnings… listen to them.. and not just in the.. ✔️ yes please honey!!!… shopping list all us lil freaky freaks like… but there’s also serious content that hit close to home for me as a recovering addict. It is clearly marked should ppl chose to skip over it. I would like to thank Ames for her respect in how she’s handled it.. there is contact info in the Afterword for anyone struggling with addiction… please reach out. Know you are not alone and recovery is possible!!
Where do I begin…Bridget is a take no crap from anyone kind of girl. She loves to earn her own keep. Doesn’t want a man to “own” her. All the men who are falling at her feet, Lord all mighty they are HOT. Each one I love for different reasons. This book I laughed, cried, yelled, and I even worried for the life of my Kindle. There are trigger warnings. Take them very seriously. Ames Mills does warn you after a certain chapter that there is a heavy trigger warning if it bothers you then she tells you where to go next. I love that she did that. This book is exceptionally hot. It’s panty melting. It’s intense. It’s in the moment. If you read the previous five books in the Abbs Valley series and loved it then you’ll love this just as much. Remember there are some real life tiggers in the book. If you decide not to read that warning chapter you still won’t be disappointed. I guarantee you that.

I didn't think I could fall even more in love with series! We have the Terror Twins, Dmitri and Alexey who are learning the ropes of there Russian empire from their cousin Nikolay. But the twins have been chasing after Bridget, one of Alessa's best friends for MONTHS after a sexy one night agreement. Then we have Caden, Ghost, and Banger who are incharge of the Vipers. Bridget became instant best friends with Caden. Then Ghost and Banger started to admire her as well. Bridget is absolutely HILARIOUS.. heck all the banter is hilarious! The ending of this book had me gasping and near tears. I'm again thankful this duet is complete because I'm jumping right into book 2. Happy Reading!
I am absolutely in love with this book. This may be my new favorite, don't tell Les or Evie and their boys ;). Ames Mills is at it again and we are back in the world of Abbs Valley and, once again, it does not disappoint. Heart of Psychos dives deeper into the lives of Bridget, Ghost, Caden, Banger and everyone's favorite Russian Terror Twins, Alexey and Dmitri. There's even the arrival of a new Russian to make us all swoon. This book has everything you could want. There are amazing characters, genuine relationships, a great story that will rip out your heart and leave you on the edge of your seat, and pull it all together with some super steamy smut. Get ready for an emotional ride. I literally cried with both laughter and absolute heartbreak in this book and I am dangling not so gracefully off the edge of the cliffhanger waiting for the second half of this duet.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 This story hooked me from page one! The chemistry between these characters is incredible. Bridget is such a fun and fierce leading lady, I love her fiery personality. The guys in this group are all amazing and so accepting of each other. I love each one SO MUCH, I can’t even pick a favorite because they are all perfect. The bantering is great, I absolutely enjoyed this group! And the nicknames are my favorite 🥹😍 I adore seeing how each relationship evolves, it is incredibly beautiful to read. They pull you in and you can really feel their emotions and their love for each other. The story line is very exciting and keeps you hooked, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. I can’t wait to see what happens in part two. I just couldn’t the book down, as soon as I finished it I picked it back up to start again! I don’t usually like to read the same book twice but I LOVED this one SO MUCH! The spice in this book is off the charts!! MF MM MMM MFM MMFM MFMMMM 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥If you like your books super spicy and with a great plot then you’ll love this!
This book comes with a content warning, please head authors advice.
Holy freaking Batman! Where has this author being hiding?
Once I started reading this book, I got completely sucked in to the Abbs Valley world, and now I am hooked.
I haven’t read the previous books in this series, but having read this book alone I understand enough.
Let’s talk about Alexey, Dmitri, Caden, Ghost and Banger, and possibly Nikolay. Hot dignity damn, those men are so fine, throw Bridget into the mix and boy do they all worship the ground she walks on.
They are sweet, yet hard loving, caring dominant lovers who fulfil not only all of Bridget’s needs, but their own too. The smut level in this book is next level hot. She belongs to them and no other, because they have no issues taking what they want, owning and possessing her body as it was made for them.
Friendship, family and loyalty mean everything, betrayal comes at a high price when you cross these guys, it is best to stay on their good side. And I love how sweet some of these guys are with their mama’s, they are definitely keepers, for they love Bridget with their whole being, yet she is still wrapping her head around the dynamics of their relationship, hopefully she gets to tell all of them how she feels before it’s too late.
Mmm and that ending was heart palpitating, only book two will tell us how it all unfolds.
Because between these pages you will find six alpha dominant men who love hard, a feisty yet sassy submissive female with no filter who gives as good as she gets, family and friend dynamics, touch her and die vibes, madness, mayhem, revenge, vengeance, violence, defiance, manipulation, adrenaline seeking suspense, jealousy, twists, turns and truths.
I dont know why im surprised when Ames leave us with KILLER cliffhangers anymore! Aside from the cliffhanger, I loved this book. Bridget is strong when she needs to be, but also soft for the boys. The guys all have different personalities that compliment each other. And there was an extra surprise in the harem that I enjoyed. And if you have read her other 5 books, you already know the spicy scenes are SPICY!!!
I’m torn on my rating because there were good chunks of this book that annoyed the shit out of me… specifically the “pet names”, for lack of a better term. And it happened a massively long portion of the book, tbh.
I know some readers get annoyed with overused terms of endearment, which I can see and sometimes agree with… but “baby love”? On repeat? Then add in the song that comes to mind with that term? Ew.
There were a few instances of that same feeling in this book early on, but I feel like the last third of the book started feeling less forced.
But perhaps because the last third of the book felt like a fast forward (truly captivating) plot to completely redeem the the first two thirds got old with the weird pet names and figuring out the sexual dynamic, the latter of which being why I kept going.
And I’ll keep reading because I am a sucker and want to know what happens.
This book is absolutely phenomenal!! It has amazing character building and you immediately fall in love with Bridget’s guys!! It’s captivating with action, suspense, love, witty humor and panty melting spice🌶️🥵!! It is a why choose and has MM/MMFMM/MF and the group scenes are 🥵🫠! The best mafia romance EVER and I can’t say enough good things about this series!! Ames Mills knows what she’s doing and I can’t wait until part 2! The cliffhanger will gut you and rip your heart out 😩 but it is totally worth all the feels!
ok i think i liked this one a lot, still just sm*t no thoughts head empty kinda of book but check trigger warnings please!!?! bridget is my fave of all the girls and i kinda knew it eheh she's so sassy and cute at the same time and so funny, seeing her finally finding someone/someones who treat her right and care deeply for her and are worthy of her makes me so happy yes! caden is a fave too, he reminds me of gabe and kinda mateo too, i think there's a pattern right there haha! this one is fun then at the end all goes to hell like literally hell and damn why end like that !!
JUST WOW!!! This book deserves ALL of the stars! Ames Mills knows exactly how to pull you into the story from the very first chapter. This book is super spicy 🌶️ 🥵with why choose and every variety of MF MM MFM MMM MFMMMM you could dream of. I loved getting to see these relationships develop and getting to know Bridget and all of her men better. That cliffhanger thought 😩😩 Ames how could you do that to us?!?! I need part 2 ASAP!
I live and breathe for the Abbs Valley series... fell in love with it from the very beginning! After completing Riches To Riches, All I Have, and now moving on to The Heart Of Psychos, I love finding out which new characters I'll gravitate towards. In "Riches To Riches" it was Gage. In "All I Have" it was Mateo. And while I had my suspicions that I would love the twins (Alexey & Dmitri), I was shocked myself by falling head over heels for Ghost and Caden.. because why choose, right?
Ok but seriously, The Heart of Psychos gave me exactly what I needed and more! I've loved learning about these new characters that were introduced earlier in the series, and I'm especially excited to see how these relationships develop in Part Two.
If you've never read anything by Ames Mills before, do yourself a favor and start at the beginning of the Abbs Valley Series. I'm not even going to tell you to binge through all other 4 books before this one, because you'll want to do it anyway. Yes, I'm that confident in these stories.
PS: I knew Bridget wouldn't be able to resist for long!
I was excited to read Bridget's story. But, actually Ghost is the center of attention here. Not that that's a bad thing. Bridget didn't have any much going on in her life. She was just scared of committing to a relationship because of her cheating ex. But, she didn't resist the guys that much either. So her excuses weren't that convincing. Anyways, coming to the relationships, I don't know why but I feel there is no chemistry between Bridget and the guys, except maybe Caden. Those two interact as best friends and it's very cute! Other than that, the rest of them feels like they're just after the magical p*ssy or something. ..... On the other hand, this book should be read as though its guys story, not hers. They have better bonding..... But, Nik though? He just feels like a waste of space and time here.
And, oh my God 😂😭😭 nicknames in this series are k*lling me!! .... "sweet boy"? "Baby boy"? "Baby love"?? Just what's wrong with names?! That too using the names all the time!? .... eugh
Okay I didn’t think there was topping Les & her harem… This one did it though 🤯 You finally see Ghost & Cadens relationship come together. & of course queen Bridget 🧎🏻♀️ I FUCKING love her 🥹 The terror twins I knew we’re going to be a fav of mine they have been throughout ever book! I don’t want Abbs Valley to end what so ever but here I am sprinting to part 2 💓 Ames idk how you do it but god damn can you write 👏🏼
I’ll be honest. This book is a straight smut read. I kinda got lost on who some of the people were and the intermingling stories. I’ll still read the rest of the series but I’m definitely not as emotionally invested in the characters as I was with the characters in Riches to Riches.
I was once again lucky enough to receive another Abbs Valley book as an arc and am leaving a truly honest review.
Ames' writing was amazing as always, and I was able to immerse myself in the story, becoming engrossed right from the start! I was so engaged in this that I could have been right there with them. Really, it was like opening a can of pringle's.. Once I popped, I could not stop!!
The Heart of Psychos continues on in the Abbs Valley world with Bridget, Alexey, Dmitri, Caden, Ghost, Banger and 😉😉. All characters have played a part in the Abbs Valley world, so it's like reading about old friends yet learning more about newer ones.
The Terror Twins are still trying to win over Bridget and prove that she belongs with them. Caden is navigating his relationship with Ghost and the betrayal he felt when we left off with them in All I Have Part Two. Plus, add in the other guys, and its a yummy swoon fest of developing relationships. Banger and his eyes.. mmhm, I'm smitten 🥰 MINE!! These characters are a family, and it's so endearing to read about.
*Whispers*...(Ginny, please forgive me for this part if your reading this review🖤).. Is there another MC you could love more than Caden??... I mean yes, because I love many Abbs Valley men, but Caden.. *sighs*.. holy smokes. He is everything you want and need in an MMC. Sweet, funny, caring, smoking hot and.. psycho. “And the last” *swoons*.
All of these guys have been through something, and the way they take care of each other is beautiful. We got some back stories from some characters throughout the previous books, but in this we start to get it all. The nicknames Ames creates for all these characters is everything. I can't wait to learn more about this group, especially Banger 😍. I don't want to delve too far into it and give anything away.
I really just can't help but ramble on about all the love I have for this.. you just need to dig in and read it yourself! You won't be disappointed.
I'm looking forward to part two, to sink deeper 👈😉 into this world I have become OBSESSED with. Also because we have been left with the cliffhanger of all cliffhangers 😭, AMES!! What will be the fate of our beloved characters?! 👀 these eyes are for you Ames! We will be waiting it out and watching you closely to see how this goes.. 🙏🙏
Round of applause to Ames Mills. Once again she has delivered a book so delicious without taking away from the story line. This one is full of all the smexy times🔥🔥, amazing plot, a strong FMC, growth, fight, humour, and of course, all the psycho things. It keeps you hanging on the edge, waiting for what's to come.
These just keep getting better and better and I'm finding it hard to keep a favourite!!
If you haven't already, then you need to start this series.... today.... right now.... run, don't walk... starting with Riches to Riches part one and two 🖤🖤
This audio is narrated in dual POV by Ada Sinclair and Patrick Zeller. I have to admit that Patrick’s ability to embody six male main characters is truly impressive.
The book ends on a brutal cliffhanger, and I can’t wait to dive into the second book.
This gritty, fast-paced story offers a whirlwind of gang wars, forbidden love, and intricate relationships that leave the reader reeling with suspense and emotion.
While the book excels in many areas, there are moments where the sheer number of characters feels overwhelming. I found myself needing to count and list every character from each book just to keep track of who is who and who is with whom. At this point, I practically needed a Game of Thrones-style map.
I love the dynamics between all of them: - The terror twins, Alexey and Dimitri, who are completely smitten - Nikolai, the shy yet overbearing cousin - the Ruthless Ghost and the fumny flirty Caden - and the discreet Banger
Each of them shares a unique connection with Bridget, and they all move at their own pace in their relationships with her. As always, Ames delivers the most intense and spicy why choose romance.
Tropes - Mafia / Gang - why choose FMMMMM-M - found family - fierce and independent FMC

Era obvio que Bridget debía tener su harén propio después de estar para Les y Evie. Esas tres tienen demasiada suerte.
Los hermanos Alexey y Dmitri me llaman la atención desde el libro uno, pero no han terminado de gustarme tanto como pensaba que lo harían.
Por otro lado, Caden y Ghost son lo más maravilloso del mundo. Caden se queda para mí en el mismo saco que Gage y son mis absolutos favoritos.
Lo he leído a medias en el Kindle y a medias por audible, de verdad que lo del narrador este me tiene loca porque al llegar a este libro no solo aparecen los 6 compañeros de Bridget, sino también los 5 de Evie, los 6 de Les y alguno extra... y el tío le pone voces diferenciadas a todos. Lo de los acentos rusos, irlandeses, italianos y mexicanos me da risa.
No es una lectura que probablemente vuelva a repetir, pero me tiene pillada todo el tema de la mafia y cómo van a conseguir deshacerse de los malos.
Es MUY erótica y descriptiva, pero por suerte está bastante nivelada la cantidad de escenas con la trama, así que no tengo ninguna queja.
I was so excited for Bridget's story after the end of Evie's duet. The way Alexey and Dmitri were pursuing her was so intriguing after the one hot night they shared. It's not surprising that they totally ignored the one night only rule. The fact that she then gets close to Caden after the crazy stuff that goes down with Ghost is just icing on the cake. And then, of course, the very lickable Banger. 🤤
I love, love, love the way this author develops her characters and their relationships. Not only is the chemistry off the charts between them all but the plot and the stories are page turning. It sucks you in so fast and before you know it, it's almost over. This one ends with an epic cliffhanger and some heart breaking situations but the great thing about this author is she always resolves it and gives you the best HEA's. Abbs Valley is one of my favorite worlds. Start with Les' story. You'll love every second!
Omg omg OMGGG I’m sobbing but I absolutely devoured this book, I love every character and I love that they are all right from the beginning I needed a break from enemies to lovers they are all take no shit and the cliff hanger?! I’m immediately starting book 2 when I’m done with this review I’m leaving from the the 5th star on the second book because while the story is amazing it was hard to keep track at first. This is a bi/poly book so please understand the men get down and dirty with each other too !
The book hang over I have gotten from this. She did it again, she gets you attached to these characters and bam trauma! Who doesn't like a sassy red head with a just as funny best friend. I cried from laughing and hurt feelings. Dear God the spice in this, make sure you have a reading buddy near by. No,seriously have a reading buddy for the spice and emotional support.
Omg that ending!! My heart hurts so much right now. Once again Ames Mills has put done herself and delivered an amazing thrilling dark romance. This one was action packed the whole way through but this cliffhanger hurt - I’m running to start the next one right now!
