I just love them all, okay? I wish I was Willow because I'd gladly take all three, thank you very much. Preferably all at once 😏😈 Sometimes the people you love turn your love against you, and it’s the most brutal weapon in the world.”

So. So. Worth. It. There’s enough tension prior to this to keep you reading on, it’s truly deliciousssss 🤌🏼✨ So this follows Willow, who has a shitty homelife and is pretty much raising herself, and what happens to her after one night after trying to earn some extra cash, 3 brothers bust in, and they’re after the man Willow is with and kill him, and then take her under their control cos of what she’s witnessed 👀 I really started loving Vic more, too. I mean, THAT KISS?!!! Holy hell 🥵 I'm happy to see that he's finally letting go a little and I can't wait to see how it progresses in the third book. I wish we got a little more of his POV, though, because I felt like it wasn't much and mostly his chapters were about the technical stuff and X.A scary Russian gangster guy is the one who buys her virginity. Before he can do the deed, the 3 heroes burst into the room to kill him (as revenge for that guy killing their mom). They’re about to kill Willow, since she’s a witness, and a loose end they can’t afford. But they spare her, and keep an eye on her instead to make sure she doesn't rat them out - which includes stalking her, setting up cameras in her apartment, etc. Pretty soon, the guys monitoring her turns into each of them getting interested in her. And she can't help getting fascinated by these guys who keep popping up in her life like phantoms, even though she's wary and scared, at first. So this is medium level dark - no dub/ non con, but the heroes DO kind of try to kill her, at first. You’re right. Maybe you’re not a knight,” I whisper finally. “But maybe… maybe I don’t need a white knight. Maybe I need something darker.” These three dangerous brothers will do anything to make sure I keep my mouth shut about what I saw, even if it means stalking my every movement. I’m a loose thread to them—but somehow, I’m becoming more than that too. TL;DR: This feels like a weird interpolation of Den of Vipers. The brothers are not psychotic in the slightest. The FMC is whiny. The spice is not what I was hoping for. The plot was subpar to be polite. So when I end up desperate for money and out of options, I agree to sell the one thing I have left: my innocence.

I love the concept of this story. It wasn’t too long ago that I was a broke college girl myself, not that I was selling my virginity, but you can bet I thought about selling feet pics a time or two! Then you mix in some bad boy brothers in a RH romance and I’m sold! I was extremely underwhelmed and disappointed by this being so hyped up on BookTok. So much so, that I’m writing my first GR review because of it.And then Ransom 🫠🫠🫠 I just love him so much. I think he's the perfect mixture of rough and sweet, and that's exactly what I want in a MC. He's also extremely sexy and his dirty talk has me 🥵🥵

There is forced proximity/one bed/stalking/age gap/possessive mmcs/underground and organised crime etc It’s hard for me as a women to think that’s how we are being portrait as these “talking air heads” as we certainly are not those.Since this book is the first in the series, so of course it ends in a cliffhanger, but I already expected that so I'm good. I wouldn't say though that I did not roll my eyes (which I did) because of Willow's actions in the end. I understand females are ruled by emotions since she thought that these guys truly cared for her and she's somewhat developing strong feelings towards them. I also like Willow from the get-go she's the perfect combo of innocent yet badass. You will understand what I mean if you read this book 💁‍♀️. Anyways, I can overlook it for the sake of the plot in the second book.

It’s giving Madison Kate series vibes but more adult and mature and darker (not exact but if you’ve read that you’ll definitely love this) These three dangerous brothers will do anything to make sure I keep my mouth shut about what I saw, even if it means stalking my every movement. I’m a loose thread to them—but somehow, I’m becomingmorethan that too. The dark RH genre is filled with over-the-top shenanigans. In some RHs, the author isn't good at getting me to just go with whatever the premise is. In this story, is it ridiculous that Willow is selling her virginity, then gets entangled with these mysterious gangster brothers? Sure! But the way Eva Ashwood writes, I never pause to be like "this is absurd," the way I do with some others. She draws me in and gets me to just go with it.This is the perfect start to the series, Eva does such a good job at painting a full picture to the story, we slowly start to uncover what’s happened to these characters in their lives leading up to where the book begins, what they’ve been through etc As for the plot, I'm not giving anything away, but damn I was glued to my kindle!! Eva sure knows how to spin a story in her unique voice and I cannot wait for more!! I told myself I was gonna be a responsible adult and wait until all four books in this series were released before I started reading, but we all know how that turned out, lol. Now imma need her to write like hell because I NEEEEEEDDDDD more of this group!!!
