My Review
Love gets complicated. This story involving rape, violence, and human trafficking brings reality into sharp focus. I can truthfully say that the only thing I liked about these characters is that they had a happy ending.

I loved the beginning of this book so much. I totally felt it, majorly heart grabbing. When it got further along in the book, it lost me, which is so sad. So much of it seems too silly so I couldn't take it seriously. Even though I majorly fell for the first bit, I can't give a high rating because of what happened later. I do believe that many will love the entire story. This may just be an issue for me.
This series has lots of potential. Its a gangbanger romance. (At least I think that's a trope now.) Obviously, being gang members, the men are all tattooed bad boys. There was lots of drama, a good amount of action, and a really good plot twist. All good things for fans of these types of books.
That being said, while being a good enough read, the story did not resonate with me. It was lacking a level of maturity that I would expect from 30 y/o characters. I thought, based on the super emotional and engaging prologue, that this book would get under my skin. But we go right from the prologue to raunchy sex in the bathroom of the bar, where the girl is holding on to the nasty toilet seat. At one point she even rests her head on her arms on the toilet seat. This grossed me out so much that the story started to unravel. I mean, ew, public toilet seat in a bar??? And you know public toilets dont have lids - so she was up close and personal with some nasty bodily fluids and lots of germs. I wanted to shower just reading it. And it was repeated every night for the next 3 weeks! No thank you. Why couldn't they just do it against the wall? Another thing... most of the sex was doggystyle. I prefer variety in my smut, otherwise I'm just gonna skim those parts.
I think this book may appeal to a younger crowd, but I wouldn't be surprised if the over-30 age group aren't satisfied. 3 stars / 3 flames. I was provided a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.… (altro)

What a ride! I loved Jake and Lily's story. It was a real roller coaster. I broke down and cried more than once, I was that engrossed. Very dark and not for most people, but very good.
