The Hallowed Crows MC #1
Distrust
Dark. Depraved. Deadly.
That was the warning that everyone was given about The Hallowed Crows MC. That they were harsh, brutal, and completely unforgiving. And here I am, utterly at their mercy. Again.
My dad is dead and now the only people I have left are the boys who ripped out my heart. They loved me, then rejected me. Protected me, then abandoned me. Now they want to control me more than ever before. I thought I’d escaped the black mark placed on my soul, but I was wrong.
They might think they own me, but someone else has already claimed me. I’m back, but I wasn’t given much of a choice. It was his cage or their club… Better the devil you know right?
But I’m not the same lost little girl they toyed with two years ago. I won’t go down without a fight. Not this time.
I’m a Crow and it’s time to call murder.

I am in total shock at how much I like this book. I had to think about how to review this book, and two days later, I am still thinking about how the author will take that ending and spin it.
Distrust is the first book I have read from the author and will not be my last. I need to read her other books to know more about some of the characters in this book and I like her writing.
I have never read about an MC RH (MMFM ) Before, and it's a very unique twist, which I love. If your looking for flowers and unicorns, this book is not for you, and it's okay. On my dark scale is medium gray. The hate is very real in this book.
The men feel betrayed and don't know the whole story. I was equally frustrated Rebecca couldn't tell them. However, I do understand why, and if she did, then we wouldn't have a book.
One character, Aiden, now is the club President since the death of Rebecca's father. He doesn't know how to handle his hurt and hate. He can be brutal at times, and I wanted to throttle him a time or two. Killian is more on the fence but not as extremely angry as Aiden.Ezra has sneaky suspicion. I love him. He is an old soul—each man as equally handsome as the other.
I was captivated. from the beginning and read the book in one sitting. Talk about a whopper of a cliffhanger! I almost throttle my kindle. Do not let a cliffhanger discouraged you from reading this book. It's very much worth it.

This is an angsty MC RH with a lot of MM in it. It's kind of "second chance" a bit of "friends to enemies to lovers" and some forbidden, too.
This makes a lot of references to events that happened in Revival of a King and that trilogy. I've read that, but I think you could also be fine reading this without having read that. Also, the author's writing has improved a lot since that trilogy, this book is better.
This is about Rebecca, who is 20, and grew up as the Club Princess in the Hallowed Crows MC. Her dad was the club President. She was always into 3 of the guys: Aiden the dick, Ezra the nice one, and Killian, the scary one who is Ezra's boyfriend. She was underage and they were a bit older and were prospects – plus, their Prez told them to stay away from his daughter. But, 1 night when she turned 18, they gave in. After their 1 night together, they pushed her away (for reasons that are still unclear, but will probably be revealed in later books). She also got kidnapped by the evil Mayor for 2 years, and these dumb heroes saw her appearing to make nice with him, and jumped to the conclusion that she was with her kidnapper consensually. Why would you conclude that??!!
So now she's back, for a bit of "second chance" trope with them. But they're all being mean to her because they think she betrayed them and was with the Mayor consensually.
This has exactly what I want in an MC RH: it’s angsty, the steam was good. 2 of her 3 guys were a couple, so there’s a lot of MM and MFM scenes, if that’s your jam. There’s some dub con, but it's well written - in a way where it's clear that the heroine, the story, and the author all know the lines of consent and what boundaries are being crossed. But, it also doesn't feel like we're being lectured about that; it's part of the heroine's inner monologue organically. I love it when a dub con scene has the heroine subtly doing what she can to take power in that situation, and this book does that well.
There need to be more angsty MC RHs where the heroine is the daughter of the club President, and the guys are in the club! It’s like the “brother’s friend” trope on steroids. It’s extra forbidden and extra angsty, since the heroes are part of an exclusive club that the heroine can't be part of, by its very nature. And, going against their Prez to pursue her could get them kicked out. The only other one I can think of like this is I Was Born Ruined. I guess Savage, too, but that book and author are bland. So, part of my high rating for this also is because I am starved for content in this very specific subgenre.
This jumps around a lot, with frequent flashbacks, but it was well done. It doesn’t feel too choppy.
My main complaint is that these heroes are really SO stupid. I hope that doesn’t get drawn out too long, and that they find out the truth and feel bad and grovel soon. If that gets drawn out past book 2, I'm going to have a problem. Also, Angel is a little bit too convenient as "character who exists just to be the heroine's friend." He didn't seem to have his own wants and needs and life outside of her. Hopefully that changes as the series goes on.
I didn’t even realize “heroes see the heroine in an OBVIOUSLY BAD situation, and they jump to stupid conclusions that she wants to be there, and they're mad at her for that” was a trope. But, apparently it is, since it was in this book and Broken Bonds and Freestyle. At least in Freestyle, the heroes were teens at the time, and the heroine wanted them to believe bullshit about her, so they had an excuse. For these grown men heroes in an MC...what's their excuse? Even before this book revealed what was going on, I was like, "Oh, the heroine was smiling at her kidnapper? OBVIOUSLY she had a reason for playing along, and obviously the reason was not that she actually liked him!"
I’ve seen some mixed reviews about the rest of this series, so we’ll see if I am still feeling this good about the rest of it as I read on. But as of now, this is really good start. The cliffhanger is bad, so I'm also glad I waited until this whole series was out to read the books back-to-back.

Holy crap! I've read all of Gabby's book and this by far is on a whole new level from her other series. Much darker and more gritty... and I'm down for all the things!!!
She brought it!! Both fists swinging and tires squealing. All the emotions will be felt while reading this one.
This book is Rebecca's story. We met her in the Black Hallows series ( don't need to read it to understand the story, but it's a good one so don't miss it!) She returns to her father's MC club. Once again having the 3 club members who have been her world since she first laid on eyes on them, back in her world.
Aiden, Ezra and Killian. Big bad alpha males. They work hard and play even harder. Aiden is the true leader of the bunch and it shows during this book. He has a difficult time not jumping to conclusions and lashing out in the most harshest of ways. I wanted to throat punch him many times. I still feel mostly hate for his cruel ass. Seriously, he will bring out some of the worst parts of your personality. Trust me lol.
I just wanted to hug Rebecca. My heart hurt for all that she went through and is sadly still going through. I'm not sure if she truly has anyone left in her corner. Someone that doesn't want to cause her pain or to break her more than she is. How can you break someone that is already completely shattered.
Gah that CLIFFHANGER!!!! My mind is blown!! Holy crap, I don't even... Why? WHY?!?!?
Please head the trigger warnings in this book... the abound and are not watered down.

Really seems like I'm on a roll with crappy books these day. I don't even care to give this one a proper review. I'm just so disappointed that the author relied on lazy miscommunication in this whole book. Nobody bothers to talk to each other. The premise promised a Rebecca who's been through some shit but is strong and fights back but all I've seen is her letting men disrespect her repeatedly. No fight to be seen folks. She plans to leave but never does. She hates them, then loves them and doesn't want to lose them despite their treatment. Rinse and repeat. The flashbacks were repetitive and tedious. The only character I cared about was Angel and well... things end shitty with him. The guys are so annoying, especially Aiden who assaults Rebecca in front of prospects. How the fuck is she allowing this man to disrespect her, treating her like a club whore in front of others? She's supposed to be the MF club Queen! I'm sorry, humiliation was never my kink so maybe I don't get why she's turned on by degradation. None of it was sexy and I skimmed every sex scene after the first since I was ashamed for her. Self respect and pride is a foreign concept with this chick. Another thing that didn't make sense. The lawyer tells the club president that Rebecca owned everything, did no one tell her this? I don't care about anyone in this dumpster-fire so I won't be reading the other books.

WHO THE FUCK HURT YOU?!?!
My heart hurts. I have waayyyy too many feelings right now.
I love this book. I need time to get my feelings in order.
I’m gonna go lay down on my bed, get under my blanket and cry my eyes out.
GN Wright has started this series with a bang and I can’t wait to find out what happens next!
This book started with a bang and I was gripping the edge of my seat while reading. Hooked from the very first page and I’m so excited to see how this story plays out!
DEFINITE MUST READ

2.5 at best
The steam was good, that’s the 2.5 stars.
Other than that this could be one of the most frustrating reads ever. A whole book where I was screaming for the MC to tell the boys what happened so they could all go about their business. I was infuriated by 50% and skimmed the last half.

Surprised that a MC novel caught my attention and wouldn’t let go
This is one of my few favorite MC novels to date. I’m usually not a fan because every page is so sickeningly toxic and misogynistic I can’t stomach to read them, and while there is sexist bs happening, it’s actually being recognized and called out by some of the characters. Which is unheard of.
The writing is good, the characters are interesting, and the plot is intriguing. The FMC had something tragic happen to her that we still aren’t 100% sure what it is, she’s managed to form a coping strategy to protect herself and I like how that doesn’t mean being a bitch to everyone and their mother. She’s strong and picks her battles. Also, she doesn’t feel cringey or like she’s playing dress up in order to fit in with the boys like some I’ve read.
The MMCs don’t blur together and I definitely have different feelings for each thus far. On the fence with Killian, starting to like Ezra, hate Aiden lol. But I know things will change once secrets come to light. Then, hopefully, comes the groveling which I am so here for. 🤞🏻
This does end on a cliffhanger, but the next book is out and I don’t mind it.

WTF did I just read.
I stayed up all night reading a book that I'm not even sure I liked. While it was definitely spicy, there was also a very disturbing dubious consent scene. Also, this is one of those novels where one good conversation would have cleared up EVERYTHING. Still, I will read the next one because I'm a sucker and there was a ciffhanger.

RH w/ ⚔️, MC, friends to enemies to lovers
Holy heck I LOVED this. I’ve had Gabby’s black hollows trilogy on the TBR for forever but when I heard she was doing an RH I had to get my hands on it!
This is Rebecca, Aiden, Killian and Ezra’s story and it’s amazing - if I haven’t said it already. First off, like sainthood we get a BANG in the prologue - if ya know what a mean 😏 and it keeps you on your toes the whole way through. Also you will blush when you read the spice just FYI.
I love that is it multiple POV’s Crome Rebecca and all the boys and you don’t learn the truth about why the boys hate her right off the bat and it’s kinda a secret for a while. The boys are also to die for, though saying it right now Aiden, mine 😈
BUT THE ENDING - ma’am not okay 😂 truly though this book was 😮💨👌🏻 and I ABSOLUTELY recommend adding to your kindle and reading right now!

Firstly - for anyone who hasn't read any of Gabby's books before, welcome to the world of cliffhangers that will make you want to pull your hair out!
I was dying for this when it was announced, a RH MC with MM action? Yes please! And I mean, we're even treated to a group scene in the PROLOGUE. Gabby went in hard for this book.
The story follows Rebecca, Aiden, Ezra and Killian. It's one hell of a story, so much happens in this book and you just know that it's only just getting started! Pay attention to the authors note at the start where you get some details on the kinks within the book as they won't be for everyone. But if you do read this, be ready for one dark, addictive and extremely steamy read!
Another amazing book from Gabby. Book Two now please?

The book was just okay. It's so frustrating when everything could be cleared up with just a conversation. I couldn't see why she had to keep the secret. It just got repetitive with going back and fourth from past to present from so many point of views of the same time period. I starting getting somewhat bored. I was more interested in her relationship with the Mayor, which is why I will read the next book in the series, I want to get a look at what makes the Mayor tick, and his relationship with his rose. The sex scenes were steamy I will give the author that, I don't read many reverse harem romance books with MM interest in the relationship.

I have been SO EXCITED for this book ever since Gabby announced she was writing a RH MC series and it did not disappoint one bit. What a bloody start to a new series! It truly began with a bang and I just know the rest of the series is going to be unreal.
This follows Rebecca who featured in the Black Hallows series (it’s not essential to read that but I highly recommend you do because it’s amazing) as she is returned to life in the MC her dad was president of. She had been held a prisoner for the last 2 years but had finally escaped with help from our queen Elle and the rebels (black hallows).
She has three love interests at the club - Aidan, Ezra & Killian. All three of these men are the ultimate alphas and just soooo hot. Honestly. I can’t get over the sex scenes in this book 🥵 I already knew Gabby could write some good smut after the first series but she just took it to a whole new level in this! The MM scenes in this were also a nice little bonus 👏🏼 Queen of spice 👸🏻💦
I’m so invested in this series already and cannot wait to see where it’s going to go, there’s so many secrets and mysteries still to be revealed which I’m so excited for. BUT this ending. I was SHOOK. Just dying for the next one now.
Can’t wait for this to come out and everyone to read it!

Motorcycle romances usually don’t work for me. This one however, did.
The tension was thick, the angst was angsty, and the spice was top notch.
I wasn’t expecting this to be a MMF but I was pleasantly surprised! I think the relationship between all of the characters was really thoughtful and done well.
The plot was interesting and there’s still a lot of questions that I am excited to read about in the next book. This ends on a cliffhanger but at least the second book is out now!

This book belongs to the category: Why do I do this to myself?
This book left me feeling quite frustrated. From the very first page, I found myself grappling with numerous unanswered questions about the characters. While I understand that this is part of a multipart story, I couldn't help but feel dissatisfied with the lack of resolution in this particular installment. The whole book seemed fixated on keeping all the secrets and reminding readers of their lack of knowledge, rather than delving deeper into the characters' complexities–probably to intrigue the reader into keeping on reading all four books. I think this strategy kind of backfired.
Throughout the book, the central tension revolves around whether the characters will confront the elephant in the room, but unfortunately, they don't. The lack of progress towards resolving this conflict, coupled with only a fraction of the overall plot being revealed by the end, left me feeling majorly unsatisfied. Personally, this storytelling style didn't quite resonate with me, and I was about to dnf this book twice.
Rebecca's character both annoyed me and garnered sympathy. Enduring the loss of her father and suffering abuse from a psychopath and the men she loves paints a heartbreaking picture. However, her silence about her past abduction and abuse remains unexplained, creating a significant gap in the overall story. While her tormentors threat used to keep her quiet for some reason, it no longer does, therefore reminding me why I hate miscommunication tropes so much. Just spill the beans and everything will be fine!
The relationships between Rebecca and her three love interests are underdeveloped, leaving the supposed connection between them unclear. There's a lot of lust and obsession, but what about the genuine bond between them? Their obliviousness to the changes in Rebecca's behavior really added to the frustration. Killian's irrational response to a scar on Rebecca's thigh, leading to him inflicting another scar out of jealousy, highlights the problematic dynamics within their relationships. Aiden's mistreatment and assault on Rebecca are addressed but oddly forgotten, leaving a sour taste. Somewhere it says that they never looked past the obvious, and this is just the perfect description of all the male characters. I don't know how we will come back from this point, but I really don't like these dudes.
While I'm tempted to explore the next book for answers, I'm apprehensive about the characters' potential persistence in their abusive behavior without any redemption or growth. At this point, this installment won't get more than 2.5 stars.

Wow, this book sucked me right in. From the first page i fell in love with this story. The way its written just made me feel everything the fmc was feeling, my heart is still hurting. I can't wait to read more!

MA'AM! Where have you been hiding this side of you?!?! Holy shit.. this book is 🥵🥵🥵
Let me start out by saying that Distrust is in the same world as the Black Hallows series, but not necessary to read the trilogy (although I highly recommend them because they are oh so amazing!) Anyway, we see a glimpse of Rebecca in the other series, but this series is diving head first into her story. And what a story it is... group sexy time in the prolouge? Yes, please! (Also, that scene in the shed early on... whoa 🥵🥵)
Anyway, Rebecca is broken and damaged, and and guys want to break her even more. The guys know she's different, but refuse to see the right answer. Let me tell you, I have screamed so much at them and wanted to reach through my phone and choke them or knock their heads together like the big buffoons they are, well mainly Aiden. (Sorry, not sorry) He needs a good kick to the nuts, although he's probably going to end up being my favorite...
Distrust is action packed. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.. just waiting.. and BAM! Whaaaaat? I feel like Gabby just wants us to hurt. Like stick the knife in and turn, over and over and over. I cannot wait to see where this goes. Amazing job, Gabby!!! You are amazing!!

I loved this book. Rebecca is back after being away last two years. Nothing is the same anymore and she don't have anyone who she could trust. Three guys she loved before are not happy that she's back. They think they know what happened but they are so wrong. I really liked Rebecca and I think Ezra is my fave from the guys.

December 22, 2021This is more of a self note than anything- is not even close to safe. Killian rapes her by fingering/eating her out without her consent (she doesn’t say no nor yes, so no consent equals rape). Aiden rapes (she doesn’t say no and she doesn’t say yes, if it is not a solid and enthusiastic then yes it is rape) her by fucking her mouth infront of 5 prospects and Ezra and Killian. Aiden gets a blow job from one of the club whores and specifically gets it outside of the h’s room at the compound and she ends up watching. Not in a “I enjoy this” watching either- more in defiance. These random notes are just from what I remember. Not in chronological order. Also- I don’t care if she got wet/aroused when they were raping her. I don’t care if she tries to justify it to herself- to me it’s rape and she’s just gotten out of a horrible situation and her view on what is to be justified is off right now. Important to mention as well the 3H’s ages were not mentioned to the point that I noticed it? That could be my bad and not noticing though. This is important because while h was a minor one H touched her sexually (dry humping), this same H was her first kiss. It was also mentioned that all of them seemed to have sexual thoughts and tried to “fight them” while she was a minor. Aiden does admit to jerking off to her before though and that’s on the day of her 18th birthday which means that the times he jerked off to the image of her she was underage (so a kid).
I was reading this and trying to make notes on safety up until roughly the 12th-13th chapter? Then I started skimming- this is not on the author. I knew it was dark but I didn’t realize I wouldn’t have the tolerance for what exactly was done for her. I don’t know if I’ll buy the next book. I guess I’ll have to see. It didn’t feel fair for me to rate this book because it’s my bad for reading out of my comfort zone.
I will say though- I want Aiden, Ezra, and Killian to suffer for making her suffer after she’s just been trapped in emotional/physical/sexual hell filled abuse for years. I think that was the element that made me check out the most- is the fact the usually H’s care (anti-hero/villain or not) for h’s. Like they’ll do anything to protect her. I found it triggering that there was never any safety in the men who she once loved. Just pain.
Two positives? Multiple point of views. So it was pleasant to see multiple perspectives. Also how protective Angel is of the h. *Angel is h’s childhood best friend

So listen swords cross, the sex is pretty hot, but all 3 MC LIs are stupid as hell and they don’t get any smarter by the end of this book and now in the 2nd one I’ll have to deal with more dumbness. So 😒😒 good but aggravating. Also, the dubious consent is EXTRA dubious 😬 so beware because it’s not for everyone.
Also I’ll be honest, it’s baffling to me that the claim to know her so well and they can tell she’s different, but at not point do they consider that “hmmmm maybe what we think happened to Rebecca isn’t what happened”. Ezra begins to wonder and basically tries to figure it out but bless him, he’s not very good at it and even when she basically spells it out for him he acts like he completely forgets the next day and is suddenly back to thinking she’s a liar and set them up. AND AIDEN GETS ON MY DAMN NERVES! He’s literally a dumb butthole the entire time.
It also ends on a cliffhanger so beware of that because how I’m aggravated and wish I had just waited to read it until both books were out but I thought the plot would be resolved in this one. This is my first time reading this author so I guess I missed the memo that she loves to do cliffhangers and gives character multiple books. Anyway, I’ll be seething until we get the next book.

Let me start by saying holy mother cliffhanger. I have heard this author in known for some doozy cliffhangers but mannnnnn this one was rough to say the least. This MC RH (MMFM) is unlike anything I have read before and the spice in this book is enough to make you change your Panties a few time 🥵🥵🥵 When Gabby decided to write this story she was not playing she was come for your jugular. This is Rebecca, Aiden, Killian and Ezra’s story and this is just the beginning and we are already taken on one hell of a ride. The lies, the secrets the supposed betrayal you can feel every single emotion bleed through these pages. The action is non-stop heart pumping and leaving you gasping for breath. This was my first read from this author and it surely won’t be my last I need all the thangs!!! Bring on book 2 because I know we are in for a crazy ride!

3.5 ⭐️
2022 thoughts: Decided to get a refresher before diving into my arc of Dishonor, so here goes;
1) I’m still very upset about Angel—WHY GABBY, WHY?!
2) I still think Distrust is a decent MC, and hope that it continues to build from here because this series has so much potential to be phenomenal. Plus I really think Bex could be a real badass Queen and rule beside her boys, but we’ll see.
3) I still HATE the miscommunication trope and know it’s gonna cause so much shit in Dishonor to go down, but fuck I hate it. I need Bex & baes to clear the fucking air

2021 thoughts: To be honest, it’s not bad. I didn’t expect to like this as much as I did because MC’s are hit or miss for me, but it took me by surprise.
Not a fan of the miscommunication trope, but interested to see how the ending plays out in book 2

This book was just not it for me. The relationships between Bex and the guys seemed very undeveloped probably because a lot of it was established by the author telling us they were close or with flashbacks. Overall I just didn’t really feel the connection between any of them although Ezra had some potential it just never got there for me. It ends on a cliffhanger of Angel being shot and Ezra thinking Bex did it, but I honestly don’t care enough to continue on with the series.

Holy smokes! I first want to stay I have been dying for this book. I legit stalked the author’s pages cause the teasers were killing me. I needed it like a fish needs water. After finally getting my hands on it, I devolved it. Seriously, read it in less than a day. I got annoyed whenever someone interrupted me and distracted me from my reading time. This book is similar, but also completely different than Gabby’s other series. I know that makes no sense, but while they both have dark themes, this book is 100% more insane. She went all out with this one and I loved every second of it.
Rebecca’s dad was the Hallowed Crow’s MC president and even though she was told to stay away from the club she snuck in when she was fourteen and kept coming back despite her dad’s protests. She knew from the moment she met Aiden, Ezra, and Killian she wanted to be not only their friend but more. So after years of friendship, she finally decides to make her move. The book starts out with a flashback to Rebecca’s 18 birthday. When I saw Gabby went all out I mean we get some serious steam from the start. Unfortunately, the following days after their encounter Rebecca is kidnapped and not seen or heard from until she is rescued two years later. Rebecca is brought back home, but her father doesn’t make it out of a battle. Now she is back with the boys she loved, but with lies, betrayal, and unresolved feelings things are tense, to say the least. She is broken and alone. She doesn’t know who she is and who she was made to be. My heart went out to her so many times. We learn more about what she went through during the story and seeing the after-effects was heartbreaking. But Rebecca is strong. She has learned to build a wall and wear a mask. She is able to detach herself from certain feelings. Aiden, Ezra, and Killian aren’t happy she is back though. They think she left them and it is her fault her dad is dead. With Aiden as the new president, he makes it his mission to get Rebecca to leave. There is a lot of back and forth between the four of them. Every time they guys would question what really happened I’d get so excited, but of course, guys are dumb and they end up missing the flashing signs. She does have one friend she can lend on. I loved her and Angel’s friendship and was so happy she had him with everything happening around her.
Besides the sexual tension between Rebecca and the guys, there is also a side of M/M to keep you properly entertained. Let me tell you right now, you are going to need a fan for some of these scenes. Every time I thought it couldn’t get hotter, bam I was hit with a scene that cause me to pant in public. Being that this is an MC book there is a lot of action happening. I don’t think there was ever a dull moment and it still wasn’t enough for me. Having read Gabby’s other series I knew she’d hurt me, but I should have known she would go hard just like she did the whole book. I thought I was going to go crazy waiting for this book, but now I’m questioning if waiting for the next one is going to be worse. I’m just going to make a list of all the different outcomes where everything is okay and the next book will be all sunshine and rainbows. Shhh. Just let me live my fantasy.

SCREAMING. CRYING. THROWING UP.
That ending- I feel sick, I’m shaking, my heart is pounding…
I’M A MESS
Holy freakin’ shit I am hooked.
This was CHEF’S KISS 👩🏻🍳💋
I’m in love with those three crows. I mean I want to punch Aiden in the face but I also want to kiss him- can’t decide on what I want to do more. Kill and E are my babies, ugh I love them so much.
Bex is a bad ass and I love how strong she is, but I just wish she would tell the boys the truth. All of them are hurting and right now the only thing that would make it better is if the truth came out- I literally want to scream at them lmao.
I’m jumping straight into book two as ya girl needs answers!

I am just so happy Gabby turned more to her dark side when it comes to writing because HOLY F*CK IT’S HOT.
If you’ve read Gabby’s book before you know to expect an ending that’ll leave you shouting and throwing the book/kindle across the room. But that’s okay, that’s why we love her.
The book sets up the hotness from the start and I love that she keeps us wondering what happened to Rebecca. She’s put a perfect balance between her past, the present story and the sex. Just perfect!
Love the M/M as well 😈
I’m absolutely in love with all the boys, I’ve got a weakness for dominant psychos so you’ll understand who I’m talking about when you read.
Hands down one of my favourite reads this year, Gabby’s writing improves every book and this one is proof of that again.
Thanks Gabby for another amazing book!

Loved it! So bloody spicy!! Finally a MC romance that’s actually good.
Although I can’t lie and say i wasn’t frustrated with the miscommunication trope that went on the whole book. I wish they found out the truth but that’s for the 2nd book.
That ending though!? Gabby wasn’t lying when she said it ends on a cliffhanger. Had to pick up the 2nd book immediately.
