Although this book was fast-paced and addictive, there were parts that I found difficult to follow. It was an emotional rollercoaster. I finished the book in one sitting, which speaks to how gripping it was, but there were definite frustrations along the way.
First, the way Alexander's girlfriend was treated left a bad taste in my mouth. I couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. She was reduced to being just a plot device, even though I loved how they ignored her during sex, which increased the tension and intensity between Alexander and Christian. When she was cruel to Christian, the author seemed to paint her as horrible, but realistically, how would anyone react if their partner ignored them and fell in love with someone else? She deserved better than being a supporting character in their budding romance, and I felt awful for her. That said, she also created her own problems by forcing Alexander into a threesome, knowing full well he was uncomfortable with it.
Another issue was that the relationship between the two main characters felt centered only on sex, which is a common theme in this series. Beyond their intense sexual chemistry, they don’t seem to know each other. It’s all about their physical connection, and I wish we could have seen more emotional depth.
I kept hoping that Christian would start dating someone else just to make Alexander jealous. Though we got a taste of that when Christian kissed Jared, I wanted much more. I wanted to see Alexander truly fight for Christian, to feel that gut-wrenching jealousy and realize the depth of his feelings. It felt like a missed opportunity.
That being said, I loved their mutual obsession. It’s what kept me glued to the pages. The intensity of their desire and fixation on one another is something Alessandra Hazard does so well, and it was addictive. Even though their relationship was mostly driven by lust, the tension between them was palpable.
Overall, this book was incredibly addictive. It was tense, fast-paced, and captivating, but I couldn’t ignore the issues with the characters and their relationships. If you're looking for something to keep you turning the pages, this book won’t disappoint, but don’t expect much beyond the surface
________________ Pre-Read:
I want to get back to reading 25+ books a month, and I can't do that by reading only fantasy. So, I'm going to try getting back into reading MM romances, which means reading Alessandra Hazard's books. Say what you want about this author's works, but her books are the best cure for a reading slump. I skipped this when I first started reading the series because of the woman on the cover. I'm not interested in reading an MMF romance, but someone told me the primary focus is on the relationship between Alexander and Christian, and while there might be a female character present, she doesn't play a central role in the romantic dynamic. So, we'll see if that's true or not....more

I liked this book a lot more than the first one. Two dragons find out they have the same mate and we all know that dragons like to hoard thin3.5 Stars
I liked this book a lot more than the first one. Two dragons find out they have the same mate and we all know that dragons like to hoard things and they definitely don’t share their possessions so how is this going to work? To make things worse Earnan and Nevin are enemies. Earnan's mother killed Nevin's dad and also poisoned him. So who will Ben choose as a mate the Ice prince or the fire prince?
To be honest with you I was kind pissed Nevin had to share a mate with Earnan coz I hated him in the first book but I grew to love him. The spice was kinda boring and I felt a bit uncomfortable reading the DAP scene but tail was so freaking hot....more

I tried to like this book I really did but it was just so bad. Roman calling Danny 'boy' 80 times in 60 pages just made me super uncomfortable. I don't even know why these two are together the only thing Danny knew about Roman was that he was a super hot vampire that's it. The only thing that kept me from DNFing it was Roman and Lucien's friendship....more
This book had the potential to be soo good if it was longer. Imagine a 300+ page book of Dimitri just pining over Arlo and thinking Arlo just2.5 Stars
This book had the potential to be soo good if it was longer. Imagine a 300+ page book of Dimitri just pining over Arlo and thinking Arlo just forgot about him. It would have been amazing to read. Instead we got a Novella of them saying I love you in a day. I didn't feel connected with the characters the only person that I felt anything for was Holden coz he was the biggest asshole to exist so it was easy to hate him with a passion.
I didn't really care about the mcs relationship all I cared about was that Arlo ended up with someone who wouldn't treat him like shit. The only good thing about this was that we got to know more about Calliope and also the cameo Asa got in the end.
These two may just be my favourite couple in this whole series!!! I love them so much. I coul4.5 Stars

These two may just be my favourite couple in this whole series!!! I love them so much. I could read a 500 page book about them. I mean he told Atticus he'll kill for him.
“Killing is hard.” [...] “I could kill for you. I don’t mind.” Atticus frowned. “Like, you’d just go instead? Don’t you have your own kill list to take care of?” “I don’t seek out targets, they come to me. Most days, I’m just a mechanic and babysitter. I wouldn’t mind killing for you, Freckles.” FRECKLES AHHH I know its basic but that is such a cute nickname
Jericho being protective over Atticus>>>
“The way I hear it, maybe you should worry about yourself. Didn’t you meet your man by fucking up a job and letting him get the jump on you? That was you, right? Seems to me you’ve done some fucking up of your own, so I’d be real careful who you go calling a fucking idiot, ‘cause from where I’m standing, you certainly don’t look like no fucking MENSA candidate.”

This book was good but I didn't like it as much as the first one. August and Lucas were great but I sometimes got bored reading it. just like3.5 Stars
This book was good but I didn't like it as much as the first one. August and Lucas were great but I sometimes got bored reading it. just like the first book this is also insta love so if you don't like reading insta love then this isn't for you. I was looking for something fast paced and this delivered
I don't know how Lucas got his powers but I am here for it. One of the problems I had with this was the whole blood thing I don't know what the kink is called but it's not my cup of tea. it just made me so uncomfortable.
August was just so funny sometimes especially the part where he tells his brothers about Lucas,
“I think somebody knows about me.” [...] “we still need to take it seriously. What are you going to do?” [...] “I don’t want to hurt him… Not much, anyway. Just a little. I want to see what I can do…what he’ll let me get away with before he pushes back.” Atticus’s eyes bulged. “What are you talking about?” ...more

Is this book perfect? No but I don't give a fuck it's still a 4.5 star read for me. This shit was like a drug. I literally couldn't put it down and this is what I looked like when I finally did put it down to sleep.
[image] (I think there's something wrong with my acc you can only see my memes if you're using a laptop)
I know some people have a problem with this book coz Adam got obsessed with Noah the moment he met him so it was kinda insta lust. But that wasn't a problem for me so if you think that will be a problem for you then don't pick this up.
Here are my favourite details (MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD!!)
I forgot to rate this so here are my thoughts. I hate Christmas romance books so when I saw this was a dark Christmas romance I was like hey maybe I wI forgot to rate this so here are my thoughts. I hate Christmas romance books so when I saw this was a dark Christmas romance I was like hey maybe I would like this. Boy was I wrong. I didn't have a problem with this in the beginning not when saint lied and seduced rowan. I don't do dark romances with virgin mcs so it all when downhill when they had s*x. Rowan was a virgin so I thought saint will make the whole experience about Rowan but he was just chasing his orgasm he didn't even help rowan finish. Then there is the part where Saint literally promised to protect rowan only then to choke him because of a fucking cookie....more
I really loved the beginning and the way Julien and Kier met but there were so many shit happening in this book that didn't make sense like h3.5 Stars
I really loved the beginning and the way Julien and Kier met but there were so many shit happening in this book that didn't make sense like how did Rossi know Randall is Keir’s Alpha, when there is no record of Keir and Rossi wasn’t even told where he came from? I also got a bit bored since there’s a lot of political stuff going on and the romance is overshadowed. Also I hated all the angst surrounding the couple. They couldn't get a breather and almost everyone wanted to kill the omega. I couldn't go past the whole an omega is sacred but somehow they are openly despised....more

I've never read a poly romance so I think I made a mistake staring with an MMMM romance when I should have just started with MMM but here we are. I loved sam, Luke and callum's dynamic and I loved their alone time with Jacob but when they all got together I was just incredibly bored. Nothing clicked for me. I will try to read a poly romance without the daddy kink to see if it would work for me but so far it does not....more
