So much potential to introduce the hero to new experiences... and they just.. hid away together a lot. Mostly voyeurism only.

However!!! The deep love and connection between these two kept me reading all the way through and I will 1000% be reading the Manhattan series about their friends and children.
Sadly I didn't like this as much as the first. Bit overly gorey for me, which is weird considering the torture in that one. Still loved being around SSadly I didn't like this as much as the first.

I know it has CNC scenarios but it's about the fluffiest version of one that I have ever read. And that's not a bad thing, at all!
The heroine has no tragic trauma or anything crazy she is trying to work out. This is just a girl who wants her hunky boyfriend to force her sometimes. And role-play some non-con.
So if you've ever been nervous to try a Rape Fantasy scenario. This would be a great one, because it's very low angst and the hero is literally called a Golden Retriever in the book. Haha!
Other tropes are brothers best friend and pining hero.

Though it had a very crazy ending and kind of blew everything out of proportion right at the end. I still deeply loved the hero and heroine and I wanted to spend all the time in the world in their cabin in the woods with them.
This also did a beautiful job depicting a Deaf hero as capable, strong, and completely comfortable with his life. It just had me smiling so much to see him be tender and beautiful with the heroine and never doubt that he could be a good partner.

This was so unique and fun. I had no idea what to expect but I knew it was gonna be different and spicy. And it sure was!
Alina and Derek haOh my WORD!

Alina and Derek have a one night stand that changes the course of both their families lives in ways they could never predict. A passion between strangers turns into a power couple unlike any other. They both are protectors for their family but in different ways and I thought how they end up married for the alliance was so fun.
I gobbled this book up! It hooked me right away and I was thinking about it whenever I wasn't reading it. The chemistry was off the charts!
I feel like this series is only going to get better. Very excited to see where it goes.
The writing style was a bit different but it was to the point and never distracting. I look forward to seeing this author grow and improve and see what she brings us next from these powerful sisters.
Delightful, smutty and wonderful... just great! I had such a great time reading this one. It was out of the box and maybe the sweetest kidnapping I haDelightful, smutty and wonderful... just great! I had such a great time reading this one. It was out of the box and maybe the sweetest kidnapping I have ever read. This hero is obsessed and sweet and shows so much care for his mate... I was rooting for him to win her over the whole time.
This also may be one of the sexiest books I've read from these authors so far. Haha!

While I did skip ahead in the series because I was very intruiged by the blurb and tropes for this book, I will be going back and catching up before the next one comes out. Although this does have a semi-cliffhanger, I knew about it going in and this one had an HFN with room for character growth to come. I am HOOKED.
Fawn and Clay end up in a very interesting relationship and while it is taboo and maybe even a little twisted, I was sucked in immediately. I stayed up until 3 am this morning and then slept for 5 hours and dived right back in when I woke up. I had to know what was going to play out.
I can tell there is a LOT more to come for these two, and I cannot wait.
Read this if you like: Mafia romance alpha/dom hero power dynamics plenty of "good girl" praises spankings great aftercare and hurt/comfort moments
I am also very impressed with Harris' writing. It was so addicting and readable and had this smooth quality that conveyed emotion very powerfully. I can't wait for more.
