DNF @ 20%
No rating because I’m under 50% but this one is a doozy. This is my first book by this author and I’m not interested in trying again. This is the first book of a new series but it was obvious I was supposed to know her other characters from previous books and because I didn’t, it made this book even more intolerable. There were so many character and info dumps in the first 8 chapters that I couldn’t keep up. Loren’s family reminds me of Onley James’ Necessary Evils series except there were triplets instead of twins. Everyone had bizarre names that I can’t even hope to remember and then Oakley’s chapters were all about him and his group of 5 friends. I learned more about his friends than I did about Oakley or Loren and the fact it’s now 20% and these two haven’t met yet? What?
The stalker storyline had potential but fell flat. Loren says at the start that he’s sociopathic, has a diagnosis of something I can’t remember but that he’s never held true attraction to anyone besides having one night stands with chicks but when he spots Oakley at 9%, he’s immediately smitten. This worked in OJ’s series for some reason but not in this book especially when Loren is now stalking Oakley’s stalker and Oakley but they’ve never met. I feel like this book is such a missed opportunity because it has an interesting blurb but there’s just too much boring, useless info coming at me from all sides. Chapter 7 was so boring! Loren was doing recon in Oakley’s house and I had to read about the entire layout of it, where rooms are located, where shoes are etc. No one cares!
The only thing I’m even remotely interested in is the fact two of the triplets seem to be in a relationship and I’d totally read a short version of their story on smashwords just saying but as for this series in general, I’m good.
Thanks Caia for trying to read this with me. ...more

I’m going to review this in list form because if not this review will be a bazillion pages long. I hated this book. This is a debut and usually I’m a bit nicer to new authors but FFS between the errors, the egregious number of commas used per sentence and overall WTFness of this story, I just cannot. Thankfully this was a buddy read or else I might have died. ...more

This author is lucky I don’t rate things unless I get to at least 50% because this sucked!
The blurb for this made me think it was going to be dark and smutty but this author clearly didn’t know what she wanted this book to be. We have Cain, head of this mercenary and security company, so you’d think he’d be big and bad but he acted like a 12 year old boy unable to control his boner. His love interest, the young thief, Ezra, breaks into his company trying to steal a hard drive for a mob boss and instead of taking him out, Cain locks him in his office and gets a boner looking at him. Okkkkk. Some security company. ...more

I knew better and yet I picked this up anyway because Asher Dalton from the CU Hockey series is one of my favorite characters and finding out that his twin brothers are books 2 & 8 in this series made me unable to resist. We met Bennett and Emmett in book 4 of that series and I loved that family so much that I went against my better judgement and decided reading this was a great idea. Grabbed my favorite buddy reader and went for it. ...more

This was probably the best one in the whole series but that doesn’t mean much. These were dumb and not in the fun way. At least this one had a full sex scene and with DP at that and ropes but honestly I was bored and glad to be done with it. Definitely not at Jack Addison standards so I’m just disappointed ...more

Honestly the covers are the best part of this series. For something that said spicy, there was no spice. It kept getting interrupted by the boner killer or them thinking it was the boner killer anytime something was about to happen. So basically I was edged.

Ok so, I was hoping this would read like Jack Addison but instead it was kind of boring. Now saying that, I wasn’t sure if I liked the first one in JA either so I’m willing to give this another shot and try the second. It’s just for a title that says “spicy”, the only scene here was this guy’s bestie jacking off in the woods. This reminds me of Friday the 13th because it’s super campy (literally).

This book was sooo good for the first 50% that I was thinking it would be a 4 or 5 star review but NMM Romance Idiots 1 star
I am fucking pissed off!!!
This book was sooo good for the first 50% that I was thinking it would be a 4 or 5 star review but NO FUCK THIS BOOK! I am sooo tempted to just type FUCK THIS BOOK over and over again a million times but instead I need to rant!
This book is about two completely unhinged people; a mortician, Levi, who has been covering up crimes for "his killer" for years and getting his kill signatures tattooed on his body and the actual serial killer himself, Jonah, who fucks up and leaves evidence at the crime scene and while he's trying to retrieve it from the morgue meets his number one fan. The first 50% was this really fun cat and mouse game and I was eating up their interactions. I fucking have over 70 highlights and I was thinking that this would be a 5 star review but this took a turn into WTF and not the good kind! Thank fuck I was reading it with Mug and the rest of my discord server because we all agreed it was fucking shit and that at least makes me feel a bit better wasting my long weekend to read this shitty excuse for a book.
Dark romance has to stay consistent especially when you have unhinged characters but the author decided to do a 180 shift in their personalities and they became dumb as fuck. It made this book a chore to finish and by the end I was pissed at this author. This author is in the doghouse on perma DNR right now because I am just so gd disappointed that I can't imagine trying anything else out by them. So what happened? Besides the idiotic as fuck miscommunication and the fact Jonah was keeping the dumbest secrets ever, secrets Levi knew about because hello he's been covering up his crimes for 6+ years, both characters became absolutely ridiculous. I couldn't stand being in any of their whiny POVs and stuff would happen that didn't match up with what they would have done based on their personalities. Jonah was super possessive of Levi because he was basically wearing all his kills on his body and yet I am supposed to believe that when they have a dumb as fuck fight that Jonah lets Levi just leave? He doesn't try to hold him down and keep him there? It made no sense because at the start that's exactly what he was doing. I mean he even went as far as killing someone to leave a personal message for Levi so who is this guy letting him walk out the door? So this was the start of my interest waning in this book but it got so much worse.
This book mostly takes place in a morgue, in a corrupt town that covers up all the crimes either blaming them on animal attacks or accidents and there were 3 guys, Owen, Duncan and Finn who were always around because they worked for the police, coroner or fire department. These 3 were also all lovers at some point although I'm not sure why I even needed to know any of that because it never went anywhere or made sense. But anyway as time goes on these 3 become even more involved in things and they kind of took over the book in a really boring way. I didn't care about any of them and actually Finn all but disappeared. However, Levi was also adopted and his dad owned the morgue. His dad was a lovely character and really cared about Levi so my jaw dropped when this book had another twist and the thing is my buddy reader joked at the start that this could be a thing and I was like that would so dumb but no she was right. And it was so fucking dumb! It took this book even more into a ditch for me. I seriously contemplated not finishing it and had I not been buddy reading it, I would have DNF'd because it was so fucking stupid.
What happened to these two characters I couldn't get enough of?? The twists sucked and they made the book suck and I can't believe a book I was going to rate so high is now in my worst reads of the year. There were also so many unanswered questions about the town itself that had me rolling my eyes. I don't actually care about them now because that would have prolonged the book and thinking about having to read extra pages of this makes me feel like like super-gluing my eyes shut. I hate wasting my time reading garbage when there are so many better books on my TBR and yet I keep getting distracted by pretty covers and suffering. The arc reviews for this were mostly positive but once again I know how arc reviews work having done them and some people are not as honest as they probably should be. I can only be thankful this was on ku and had some hot sex scenes although by the end I was skipping over the sex scenes because any minute more of this book felt like to a death sentence.
And then the whole scene taking place at 90% was just so eye roll inducing, ridiculous, fucking stupid, moronic, and every other word meaning the same thing that I couldn't believe I was even in the same book. EYE ROLL EYE ROLL EYE ROLL. I had to actually get on my laptop to write this because rant typing is too slow on a phone so just put emoji eye rolls there and that was me the rest of the book.
I wish I had quotes but I had only been highlighting what I loved and by the time I got to the WTF moments, I didn't want to linger any farther in this shit storm. Sorry I picked such a shitty book my discord peeps. Cry emoji, Pissed emoji, Over it emoji, GRRR emoji.

Ok well this is a bit awkward.…So funny story. I’ve been purposely not reviewing or logging anything in GR by this author for over a year despite having read all his books. Why? Well, it all started with this book. This is a rerelease that I read last year and while I liked it, it had so many errors that just took me out of the story. It was clear that this author had potential but it felt unfinished and I felt like I was reading a rough draft so instead of ranting, I addressed my review to him and turned on my highlights so he could see all the errors. The author messaged me and as it turned out it was the rough draft but due to Amazon’s shitty policies on missing deadlines he felt he had no choice but to release it anyway. Amazon will ban authors from doing preorders for a year if they miss their release dates and as a newer author he didn’t want this to happen. I understood but pointed out if someone didn’t have KU and had spent their hard earned money on this, it would be quite upsetting and he’d lose readers. Anyway, I told him I’d beta read his book for errors and because I liked his writing style I went back into his other series and highlighted the mistakes for him. Apparently authors can see what we highlighted and I had no idea. He said he’d get back to me with his new draft and pulled this book from Amazon. Well, he never got back to me and that’s fine but now that I’ve read the rerelease, I so wish he had ...more
