Nooooooooo. Not another Freda book that frustrates the eff out of me. The last two have had the most annoying characters in them. I kind of want them all —-every last one of them—to die

Ended up really liking this book. The first 1/2 was a struggle for me, but I’m glad I stuck it out.

Chapter 46:
Ugh. A book full of absolute mental illness. I had guessed who the truly unhinged person is. This book really is torture but on I go…

Chapter 33:
This is such a difficult listen. Nina is so freaking sick!

I feel all sorts of ways about Blaine. But, a man who “plays” this much, will indeed not be having sexy times with me without testing. Not even with a condom. This dude is all sorts of red flags. Weirdly enough, many BB are similar but for some reason Blaine rubs me wrong. Every guy is going to be ruined in this series following Tank!

Chapter 40: FUCKING STUPID

DNF just because of that. No more will be read from this series.

49 minutes left on the Audible version. I want to throw my phone at the wall. Mia is an idiot. Period. I’ve come this far though

Mid chapter 15–not giving many fucks about this story at this point

I’m on chapter 21 of 41 and I feel like I’m dying here. I even went back to read the reviews to see if I’m alone in this. Nope. Loads of people stated they didn’t like this book or DNFd. it isn’t the narrator for Poppy that’s annoying. For me, it’s just plain spoiled brat Poppy and two feckless parents who let her get away with all sorts of rudeness. Narrator is fine.

I am starting the 5th chapter and the child, Poppy, may be why I dnf. I’ll give it a bit more but that spoiled brat is ruining the story. I am listening on Audible. Maybe it is better without narration? I’ll never know

I’m only a handful of chapters in and I did an eye roll. This is the conflict? A stupid custody battle with grandparents? Ridiculous

Ugh. Why is this book so long?!?

I’m only on chapter 3 and wishing I hadn’t wasted my money on this. The fact there is such bitterness 10 years after her sister’s death is sad and frustrating. Grant didn’t purposely kill her sister. She should’ve dealt with her grief and anger. This may indeed be a DNF

Holland is an idiot. She gets no better through the book. As dumb in the end as she was in the beginning.

Chapter 8 (unknown page since I’m listening on Audible). Author writes, “…It felt like a literal sign.” Um, duh. It is a literal for sale sign. Just stick with “It felt like a sign.” 🙄 The misuse of literal is a pet peeve of mine.

Stopped about75% in. Hated the pace, the content, the repetitive drama, no spice Then proceeded to take out my phone to read the reviews on the next two books in the series. Then, DNF’d. since the next two books suck even more according to reviewers. Not going there.

Liked the book fine until the Matt encounter. Really?

Loved the book until chapter 18. Really? This omission is upsetting you, Gabby? I’m tired of Romance books with such over the top dramatics about things that can be talked through and not blown into hysterical proportions. People are not required to word commit their entire history to you within the first few months of dating. Sheesh. Calm the fuck down

50% now I’m clutching my pearls…this is a clean. Christian read with absolute betrayal. Abigail is so very wrong. “It’s a gift from above.” No, dear. It is not. Betrayal is not divine intervention. I rather read an all out erotic mess of a story than religion wrapped up in this crap.

Want to add to my last update. I just read a review that said that there should be some caution because they were the only two adults in the house. I know. Clutch your pearls. 🙄

10% in and all I gotta say is this is going to be a Hallmark-like read. Not my taste typically

2 hours to go in audiobook and I am eye rolling. 🙄 Really? This is the break up? Feel like throwing my phone

Loved Flock. So far regretting purchasing this second book

Very strange but you gotta love Sibby

lol people who came to this book thinking it was going to be romantic or even consensual make me laugh. This book isn’t meant to be sexy. It’s dark. It’s awful. It’s intriguing. The ‘hero” really isn’t a hero—or at least bot just a hero, you goofballs.

Please, let this be better than the first book. I paid for all three and hope I didn’t just waste my money. I had faith in BookTok! They disappointed me with the first…

Still don’t understand why this is rated so high and had Booktok swooning. Vicious is an asshole. If my daughter fell for a cretin like him, I’d be heartbroken. Period
I will finish this monstrosity since I paid a decent price for it. But truly, fuck this book

Ok. I’m not sure what age group rated this book so high, but I think I’m out of the target audience. I love a cruel, enemies to lovers tale. However, so far this is just cruel. I don’t find Baron (aka Vicious) swoon worthy at all. He gives me the ick.
