Whoa! So much tension and anticipation. Keeps you guessing. You love to hate one of the MCs who can’t seem to get their head out of their arse.  There is hot, smutty spice but I struggled with some parts because it’s consensual / non-consensual. 

Story leaves off on a cliffhanger since it is book one of a trilogy. Can’t wait to read Cannon’s story next.
