Publisher's summary

It was such a shame that she was in the wrong place, at the wrong time.

She knew that we would come for her.

We had seen her delicate face that night, hidden in the shadows, and she had seen what we did, her gasp of horror giving her away.

She was perfection, beauty, and oozed goodness but that wasn’t going to save her from us.

No one could ever find out our secret, which meant we needed to get rid of her.

But killing her wasn’t an option and scaring her into silence wasn’t as easy of a feat as we expected. She was strong, resilient, and smart doing whatever she could to evade us.

Thus without even knowing it, she turned it into a game, and so we became blood thirty wolves.

Run and we’ll find you. Keep our secret and you might live.

That is until someone else finds out what we did…

This is a standalone dark bully romance. This book contains scenes that may be triggering to some readers. This is not a YA romance novel and should be read by those only 18+ or older.

I loved the series.

The authors know how to tell a story. I enjoyed listening to the audiobooks. Steamy…

Love this sooo much!!

OH. MY. GOD.

This was everything. You could definitely feel the chemistry and where Cam gives and Easton takes, my gosh this book is just 🔥

J.L Beck and C. Hallman are new to me authors and although this is the third book in a series, it can still be read as a stand-alone. You can bet I'll be reading the whole series, though!

The narrators did an amazing job bringing the characters to life! I felt every emotion from dread, to lust, to the blooming of love.

Just read/listen to the book, you won’t be disappointed.

Very Intense & Steamy

This was a very intense and steamy MFM ménage bully romance. I thought that this was a engaging read. The story line is filled with lots of tension, drama, suspense, twists, emotions and scorching heat. I'll admit that when it comes to bully romances, I can be a hard sell. I struggle to find ones that I can fully embrace and enjoy because it is so hard to find that perfect balance in this type of romance. How far is too far? When does it stop being bullying and cross into something unforgivable? It is all so personal because what's OK with one reader is a line crossed with another. I'll be honest, This book crossed those lines for me. In the end I was not a fan of Cam and Easton. Still the basics of the book are solid and I really appreciated the dual narration.

NA MFM Romance

NA, MFM romance where the guys are total alpha/bully. I love these authors, I eat up just about everything they’ve been putting out there recently. This was maybe my least favorite from this series. The bully romance, for me kind of went over this edge where they were more possessive than romantic and it just lost it for me a bit. I was hoping they would start to soften their exteriors earlier into the story and by the time they did the story had lost me a bit.

NOT A BAD STORY..the story started out strong

There were parts I loved and then parts I hated. Alot of why I rated this story so low is that this story had extremely poor character development. It wasn't until the last 15 minutes of the book b4 the bullies decided to lighten up and admit their feelings

nothing but SA

this was a a book filled with nothing but sexual assault / rape and a non existent storyline save your money or credit this is not worth it.

Boring

Boring story, boring characters. I’d say skip it. The premise is good but poorly developed. I gave it 2 stars because the narrators are good. Essentially these two rich bad boys pick a poor girl as their slave and sex between the girl and the two boys ensues. The sex scenes are ok but poorly described so again not even that.
