I’m kind of bored might give this a rest for now

I’m confused why he’s convinced she’s the snitch her persona makes no sense. Shes very introverted shy person who is having panic attacks anytime she’s around him and has severe anxiety… But somehow she just does everything he tells her to do and enjoys it. There’s absolutely no pushback just she says what’s the point and does it these are the most 1-dimensional characters I’ve ever read

I do really enjoy the premise I like the backbone of the book. It is just so very flat. I am so very confused. The characters and their motivations do not match. It’s like the author just took a whole mortgage board of everything and jammed it into one book these three high school students are Hitman fighters and own. Sex clubs.

I saw that this book was recommended by somebody and realize it’s been on my to be Red list since last year so I decided to hold off of Pack Darling part two and read this. The review I read said that they DNF at 24%and I can understand why I just looked at I’m only 34% done. I don’t understand how we’re not at least at 50%…

It’s painful trying to finish this. She’s a self righteousness b. It’s frustrating. the author is trying to write her as a strong woman with pride but my goodness at what point is there self preservation?! She has a medically fragile child who friends have to beg and convince her to accept nice gifts for, she lives in the literal slums bc she’s too prideful to live with her parents. Brendon’s right…

So I love the premise of the book. I will be honest and the first 50-60% of the book were good I am not a huge fan of the scenes kind of fading to black. There is a setup for a situation and something about how it just kind of ends before the resolution and it’s discussed in past tense. Also the last 70% so far has been so preachy. It will be great for people who love long grovels….

this book was intriguing initially….i found this from a fb reel and was surprised bc its interesting. But I feel like the sex happened too quickly. Like I get the sexual tension but the way they all just started immediately seemed a little unrealistic given their hatred for her and her upbringing. I’m 40% and wondering what could possibly be left…I like the writing style so will try more books by this author

So just a few issues. Not sure what the hiding of their pendants is supposed to be. I mean I guess to show they can’t be vulnerable. The heroine gets on my nerves bc she has a bad background, was homeless and broke and husband left, but she is so self righteous about everything. She didn’t start out that way. The whole she wears thrift clothes bc it’s good for the plan and only eats vegan came out of thin air

Okay I’m 38% done and seriously wondering what more can be happening. Nicole fox has some amazing ideas for books, but I think just bc of the volume that she writes at…they are typically just not fully fleshed out. They are always trilogies, and involve the Russian mafia. This book started off soo well, and then just lost steam…

I want to like this book. I absolutely love the premise… it combines the tropes I love MC and secret baby. But….. how it goes from such potential to absolute shit within the first 5 pages I am unsure. I kind of like the banter between mammoth and Riley initially but then, she does a time lapse of them sitting and talking which you can’t do when introducing characters then she suddenly wants to have sex? Wtf?!!

Carrie is pissing me off and she’s being a complete bitch right now smh. I normally don’t hate a female protagonist like this but I absolutely hate her and her attitude….

Really loving this book. I usually prefer dark books but this is such a fun read. I love their back and forth banter. I’m a bit oissed at Carrie. I want her to just tell him. He will be so hurt as he wants to feel like he belongs somewhere…

At this point I think I’m rage reading….. lmao I just don’t understand why he wouldn’t have run a background check in the bff and brother given his lifestyle and importance of the child.

Ok I said I was done at the start lmao. I decided to try to finish. I really don’t think I’ve disposed a H as much as Dima. He has to be the worst H I’ve read. And not bc he’s a bad person, bc he is a bumbling idiot. Everything he touches turns to crap. He has to be the most idiotic inept “leader” in hoping he just abandons taking over . No one including his own men and seems to like or respect him.

made to 15%. going to dnf.. I loved the premise but nothing makes sense. Not really liking the H, his whole situation screams unstable he’s ina mutiny with his “employees”. Even how they hook up makes no sense. she gets hot and steamy while stitching his bullet hole after he broke in her clinic at gun point. No mention of worry of aids or std. I know it’s fiction but she’s a vet. The set up is unrealistic

Okay…everything I criticized in the first book…. We literally start of with a bang. lol there is more character development and we do learn more about Xander. The author definitely improved the writing. The first book was good but this is even better….

Dnf. It was an interesting premise but the execution just felt very “off” I’m just left super confused what the issue is. Not sure why she would be labeled a “rat” for stealing money. Maybe they should’ve made the storyline that someone went to the police. The siphoning of funds makes no sense. Why would they need her and Luis to keep the books?! Why was she so resistant when learning they were her mates

Got this bc someone mentioned it was free. It’s an interesting premise but execution wise….given what she’s been through she’s a bit too “feisty” I don’t like unreasonably feisty heroines. I don’t understand why she’s so angry at them. Refusing to speak refusing to eat, especially given she knows …

Really trying to read this book. I’m 6% in and like the characters say what the f?!! lol the story was interesting the first few pages and now I’m just lost and confused. Everything is happening at a speed run and I don’t understand how I’m only 6% in…. Not sure why she’s so angry at her other mates. Doesn’t seem like they knew. I don’t recall aero actually rejecting her…

I’m struggling to finish this book right now. 50-60% of the book is really dragging. She wants to stay out here in the woods with him bc she is having mind blowing sex with this person she can’t communicate with and knows nothing about thee than he looks at her like he loves her and she has trauma from her cheating ex.

The book started off really interesting. I’m 60% in and her decisions make absolutely no sense. She’s literally been here 2 weeks and now is okay with living in the wilderness with these primative people who she can’t communicate with. She tried to leave for 2 seconds and bc the “hunters” were “poachers” now she is in the side of the cavemen bc they wanted the antlers?

So why all this stupid back and forth about her identity just to reveal what happened with the dad at the 75% mark? I mean I already figured that part out, but he hasn’t even been apart of the story other than we know the boys love him and he’s their idol but the has only mentioned maybe once or twice. I am hate reading at this point

Rant time! These guys are bumbling imbeciles! She has a stalker ex boyfriend who she had to change her identity for and someone breaks into her hotel room that no one knows she’s staying at. And all they have to say is, oh that’s weird! Oh well and go about their day? How stupid are they? And they always have to “take a call” and leave for an urgent meeting.

I’m trying so hard to finish this book but…. And I hate to say this. It’s so boring. I usually finish this authors books in hours. Like even when I’m bored I would rather rewatch an episode of a show I’ve watched a million times than finish reading this book or doom scroll on YouTube and Facebook. This story is nonsensical and I absolutely love this author so not sure what happened here

I downloaded this as soon as I got notification it was out. I’m not super impressed so far. The 1st chapter goes straight to it . The sex is not “sexy” it feels rushed, rough and clumsy. These 2 bumbling idiots are too dumb for words. I am getting frustrated at her and just want her to “spit it out” whatever the dark secret she doesn’t think they will believe. I’m sure involved their father…

I’m very intrigued at the story. However it is a bit long winded. I do love the passage of time so it doesn’t feel like everything is happening immediately but I’m finding myself checking the progress bc it is kind of stalling and I’m waiting for the action to happen….

This book reminds me why I love this writing team. I’m really enjoying this so far. The story is completely bonkers lol but I am loving the character development. I wish that they’d been living together for a few months before she let him deflower her, so the relationship was organic vs a few “days” or that they leaned more into she wanted to not be a virgin when she died and this was a bucket list thing

So reading the sample… I think I might try reading samples more often. I actually really enjoyed this book the 1st few chapters. Loved the backstory of her parents and the love triangle. That was quite interesting. Funny enough the story really started falling apart when it came to the actual romance. I don’t feel any connection between the h and H. I’m being told he is drawn to her but why? Bc she’s pretty?

The book is regressing regarding its storyline. Idk if the publisher suddenly said they needed 3 books 3/4 when she was writing this and suddenly they needed to come up with more issues. Thr whole thing doesn’t make sense. Why in the hell is he wanting to sell her in the first place? I thought he wanted to get her to recant her story. How will she be a reliable witness to recant when she is a sex worker?

OK now why is she trusting Damien? She literally told him Martin would pull something like this and he assured her everything was taken care of and this was the safest place for willow. Yet here we are. She literally told him that Martin and her dad are cops and would be able to take her daughter and he called her an unfit parent…I really dispise him at this point bc he is a moron…
