I wouldn’t really describe this as a bully romance more of a misunderstanding leading to lots of hateful actions and words and Jacob seemed to be the main source. This was an intriguing beginning to the series it’s a paranormal reverse harem with an enemies-to-lovers theme.

These monsters just might break Riva for good and doom them all. Now these men are no ordinary men, Eva Chase gives us a dash of Chosen by Villains. she's hers to do with as they please, to payback for the pain that she caused.🔥 The romance is a slow burn reverse harem full of chemistry, my favorite of the boys was Drey ofc! That's when I started to get Corrupt vibes! Her men blame Riva for what happened 4 years ago. They are no longer the boys she once knew. Problem is, when she finally gets the opportunity, they do not welcome her with open arms. As she is sold to a fighting ring she wishes nothing but to get back to her boys and rescue them. until Riva breaks that bound.Īfter a failed scape attempt, one ends up dead and the rest are separated from her for 4 years. The 6 of them form a strong unbreakable bound that ties them together. It's THAT addictive.Ī group of 6 powerful beings, Riva and 5 guys, are held captive by a secret and mysterious organization who conducts tests and intense training on them. The X-Men meets Corrupt by Penelope Douglas 🖤🔥 I binged this book last night.

The 180 spin on his attitude is grating.Īs for the other guys….they’re there? They don’t feel very developed in comparison to other why choose books I’ve read, the author is leaning heavily on them all growing up together and not developing their personalities to stand on their own. And I know there’s a short available from his POV during the train scene but I can’t describe how much I don’t want or care about that. I know Riva is going to forgive them and fall into bed with them, that’s just how these stories go, but I don’t think any amount of groveling would make up for getting enjoyment out of telepathically twisting up her insides. I know he’s supposed to be the rough, “cranky” one of the group but Riva is supposed to still LIKE him? After he takes enjoyment digging through her body and TWISTING UP HER VEINS, we’re supposed to believe Riva wanting to kill herself magically changed his mind about her? It feels like a scramble to get things moving positive for book 2, and was jarring. Of all the guys, he’s SO despicably awful. She’s so tiny, all the guys call her some nickname about how small she is compared to them), it was still interesting enough to keep me reading. Outside of the annoying repetitiveness of Riva being ‘so tiny, petite and smol’ (SCREAMS pick me choose me, it gets exhausting.
