Loved Nova and the guys!

I really enjoyed the premise of this duet and thought the author did a great job with book 1 and setting the stage/giving us just enough background but not giving everything away just yet. I loved how the harem formed and the different personalities. I think this is one of my favorites by this author and happy she wrote this genre with some twists!

I loved how fierce Nova was but she had trauma that she never dealt with and the guys helped her through that. They had to figure out where she had been kept/tortured and for her to have to relive it was a tough couple scenes but really drove the point home for the reader. I was devastated for her with her her sister treated her in the beginning but was happy to see how they grew and evolved. OH and the ending was another gut punch but I understand why the author did it. Just know never to pick a favorite side characters because they might not make it at this point haha. I enjoyed seeing some glimpses of M/M or willingness to do things for Nova from the crazy one i.e. Jonas hahah (won’t spoil it I promise!). I LOVED the different kinks and scenes he was willing to do, he was a total like golden retriever but like unhinged psychopath at the same time haha. But mainly for protecting his found family. I was a little hesitant about the fearless leader (Louis) but he definitely grew on me. The doctor (Isaac) was so swoonworthy and then he would turn up the dirty talk and be more of a Dom and I was like daaaaaang please sir can I have some more?!? I think my favorites though were probably Dmitri and Nico. I loved how Nico would put Nova in her place but he fell so hard so fast. Dmitri is the brains and brawn and trying with all his might to keep everyone safe.

The banter between everyone was amazing. One of my favorite scenes was the pancake moment with the butler who was more of a dad to Nova and her dad was and Jonas. So adorable and made me laugh so hard. I didnt except there to be so much humor but it was sprinkled throughout and I really liked that aspect. I thought the plot again was intriguing. Horrible how her dad treated her and all these other kids. I knew he couldnt be gone but wasnt ready for what was in store for everyone. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time as they try to figure out where his accomplice was and the previous labs to try and rescue anyone still being mistreated. This is a high-octane story and is definitely not a slow burn haha. The author did a great job merging the two/having good self control to not overdo either (plot vs smut). Loved the steamy scenes, I sometimes skip through some if they become to often but that did not happen here. Be ready for some cold showers, don’t listen to this while at work like I did 🤣

Narration was fabulous. I have listened to both before and I thought Nova’s accent was done well and some of the guys were done well. A couple times the accents weren’t consistent but that is more of an editing thing that was missed by the producers, not a gripe on the author’s work. I felt for these characters, I laughed, almost cried, cooled myself off. I went through the whole gambit and the story was elevated because of the performances of these narrators. Easily giving 4.5-5 stars for the narration. I went right into listening to book 2 because I needed to know how things went after that devastating cliffhanger 😭 Highly recommend this book, adding it to my top 5 by this author, that’s for sure ❤️

the torture of children with the excuse of research for himan betterment

I look forward to the next book in this series but I hope the curtail a few srx scenes for more plot story. The story is a good one but as much as I like a food hot steamy sex scene there can be too many.
I look forward to seeing what Nova and her men do in the next book and where Anna falls in the scheme of it.

Definitely a top fav of 2024

Absolutely freaking loved this!!!! RH and found family and revenge AND a great plot!? This book was great! Definitely a top favorite of 2024! And audio was phenomenal

I listened to it again

This is a very good story with a lot of smut. I'm excited for the second book. Curious to know how the story will continue. I loved all the characters.

Perfect

I loved it.
I love them.
Nico the enforcer
Louis the leader
Isaac the take carer
Dimitri the computer guy
Jonas the hilarious one

Nova is a weapon. I am very fond of a fierce lethal woman. She is an amazing character, broken but brought back together and love by these genuinely kind men (whom are also deadly weapon by themselves but who cares).
This is a good RH.
Spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5

Check the TW because some are really heavy.

This is book 1 in the duet and it ends on a cliffhanger.

Can't wait for book 2

This book was excellent!!! I love how the men love her. There's a lot of sex! But it's not bad bc the story is there too.

Squee!

MAY 2024 REREAD UPDATE:

I don't know what I was on the first time, but this was a great book. I will add that, holy cow, did I hate Ana the second time around. And the 'soldiers'. I was suspicious of EVERYONE. I also listened on Audible this time around, the intention is to complete the duet. I loved the guys, Nico is probably my favorite, and I think Nova is pretty great too. I'm glad I came back because my initial review really didn't do the story justice.

May 2023:

I signed up for this at a time when I didn't realize my genres of choice had yet again changed. I've stepped away from dark and 'spicy', it's mostly on me that I didn't get into this one like I would have once upon a time. However, I still enjoyed the book.

The storyline is interesting and ticks several boxes for me. I'm all about supernatural and such right now so I had plenty to dig into. This book is predominantly set-up for the rest of the series and I kind of wish I'd waited for the rest of the books because it looks like it's going to be a great series for a binge.

Knight just does RH very differently in my opinion and I've always loved it. I may not be much of a romance reader now, but I'll always stop by for a great Knight read!

love this!!

pros: strong FMC. Great story. Hot male leads that actually show some weaknesses. Great narration.

cons: Maybe I zoned out on certain parts of the story but it seemed like some things didn't quite fit... but MAYBE it's supposed to be that way and I'll figure it out in the next book. So is it really a con? maybe not.

Diving into the next book now!

Sex on Overdrive

Interesting plot! However, at least 70% is filled with graphic sexual interactions. Don't get me wrong, I think sex spices a story! But this is beyond spicy! It's Chinese chili oil on steroids! To a point that you don't believe a woman can handle so many orgasms in such short period of time.

Epic.

This is how you do dark romance. Just the right amount of everything! So good.
