Nonconsent and ridiculousness

I thought if I skipped the non-consent chapters, I could enjoy the rest. I love mafia and mc and suspense. But nope. Big flowery speeches during gunfights were my last straw. I’ve read worse. Maybe this is someone else’s thing. But it was bad enough that I’m not going to try other books by the same author

The chaos story was over so I wasn’t sure this would be great. Maybe just a rehashing? But a Kristen Ashley ok is still worth reading. So glad I read this. The characters were new - not versions of characters from previous books. And that’s why I love KA books - bc the characters feel like real people that I want to know. Doesn’t hurt that there’s danger and men standing up for women (I can dream). I don’t want to include spoilers but it turns out there were loose ends from the chaos story and wrapping them up was heartbreaking. You do get glimpses of many chaos brothers and more than glimpses of a few of them.

Most of the interesting stuff happened off camera. Like the guy takes down sex traffickers. But all the reader gets to see is that he’s stressed and is late for dinner. The beginning was promising. So I might try another book by this author one day

Uses language that is inauthentic to the characters. Gritty, mafia fighter woman gets run on sentences to fit in extra flowery adjectives. The males narrator’s exaggerated Russian accent for the male mc is distracting. The plot is good but too slow. The reader knows what’s happening for chapters before the mcs clue in. Lots of potential in this book so maybe I’ll try something else by this author in the future but right now I have no interest in reading another book in this series.

It’s not the worst I’ve ever read/heard but it’s pretty bad. Think of a career criminal explaining his feelings like an emo college kid but then saying how he doesn’t talk about his feelings. The male narrator didn’t help. He had a nice voice for a small town single dad romance- I’d love him in that role. But I couldn’t believe him as scary. Like at all. The plot was inventive though.

I hope the author gets a more brutal editor. There’s a lot of promise here. Interesting stories and characters. The problem is having to hear the characters thoughts after each sentence they say out loud . . . And it’s the same thought for the entire book. I get it. She likes him and doesn’t want to like him. Getting through one conversation with another character with that thought being repeated is hard enough . . . But it’s every conversation for the entire book. Painful.

There’s so much pain and heartache but it’s all in the past. So the reader just gets to watch all the happiness come to a sweet man who went through h*ll with a salt of the earth good woman.

The plot of all 3 books is that the h and H aren’t honest with each other. Like ridiculous levels of emotional immaturity. I love other Marie James books so I kept reading. But I started skipping 5 chapters at a time and nothing had happened. The h and H were still having the same endless inner monologues about how the other person doesn’t understand what they feel (because they’ve never said anything). The narrators had great voices but the women were all petulant and whiney and stubborn in an emotionally immature way - and that wasn’t all because of the writing. The narrator could have made it sound like the women were teasing or playing instead of being bratty.

What a strange, jerky, inflectionless speech pattern. I mostly could deal but when the female narrator in her weird robot voice read a quote that the character screamed, well it was rough. The male narrator is great - the kind where you forget it’s a narrator and not the character talking to you. I liked this series because I like the older characters. And I like how the people are truly good but definitely flawed. I also like the depictions of the aftermath of trauma. Sadly for me these aren’t really romantic suspense. Terrible things happen to g the he people but they’re not involved in the resolution.

Uses 3 metaphors for every description. I had to keep skipping forward to get through the repetitive inner dialogue. It’s a shame bc I like the story and the characters. Other people might like this writing style, just not me.
