Great, dark RH bully romance with tropes like enemies to lovers, touch her and die, primal kink and masked MMCs.

The FMC Ivy had a rough life, and had to steal to survive. Loved how more and more of her life and situation was revealed throughout the story.

Loved how the 3 MMCs were clearly different from each other. Silas was the unhinged serial killer, Max the sweet golden retriever type and Heath the morally grey bad boy, who brought some amazing banter.

The relationship development between Ivy and the MMCs was great, and I loved how her relationship developed differently with each of the MMCs, some faster and some slower. But one common thing was how the spice with all of them was really spicing!

I loved how strong Ivy was as a character. She was determined and willing to do anything to protect those she loves.

There was a lot happening, but also a lot of time for character and relationship development. The plot kept me hooked and it was hard to put this book down. There were multiple twists and turns, and the parts with cat training made me laugh.

There were multiple interesting side characters I would love to learn more about.

I haven’t read the Spine Ridge University series (they’re on my tbr), but that didn’t affect my reading experience, and after reading this one I really need to move the series higher up on my tbr.

Please check the trigger warnings before reading!
