An absolute banger of a book that is being shelved as "I wish I would have read sooner." I love this innocent (but not so innocent) FMC/bad boy spicy as heck story. Yes, there is a cheating trope ... it's not dubious cheating, it is CHEATING cheating. Period.

With that clearly stated, the morally gray, did time, tattooed, muscular, dark haired, lip pierced man Hawke is absolutely sinfully dark and delicious, and moving forward, if it ain't that Hawke kind of love, it ain't it.

Obsessed, obsessed, OBSESSED!!

Now I would never condone cheating in the real world, but within these pages I dare say the ends justify the means; this is not a story of infidelity, but rather redemption. It also highlights the idea that not everything, or everyone, is as it seems, good or bad.

Though written as a standalone, this book introduces Kid, the main character in my next read by this author, which I will be diving into next!

4.5

This book and Hawke himself had me in a chokehold most of the time. I loved the tension between Hawke and Nic, despite the infidelity. Luckily that's not one of my triggers.

I had a few problems with the book, but nothing major. I felt like the end was a little flat, but not bad. Overall I enjoyed the story a lot.

Honestly, I might have enjoyed this if the JA controversy hadn't happened in the middle. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I should have tread the CWs, as I LOATHE cheating tropes. But since I paid for this book, I wanted to finish it.

this book honestly sucked so bad and that’s really all thanks to cole. hawke was a cutie and i liked his character a lot but holy shit cole was sooooo very annoying. she was awful and judgmental from the very beginning and then went so far to claim that she wasn’t that way !! her back and forth “oh i love hawke” to “do i really know the real hawke” was absolutely insufferable. anyways she definitely did redeem herself toward the end and got a lot cooler but oh my god she was so tough to stand for the vast majority of the book. the ending was also a LOT and felt pretty unrealistic in the way everything worked out perfectly which definitely took away from the story for me. i mean how likely is it really that

two rich white men (patrick and his dad) would actually be put away for the crimes they committed ? the answer is not very unfortunately

i really only kept reading this for hawke and overall don’t regret my decision to finish the book but i definitely won’t be reading anything else by this author.

I loved the audiobook version of this book! If you love a dark romance that’s extra spicy and a morally gray MMC, then this is for you! Definitely read the TWings though!

This book was so tense and I was honestly ready to strangle the FMC for not having a backbone, but she fully redeemed herself. This was an incredible redemption story. So good!
