"Apparently all I needed in my life was an unhinged Graves brother." Period.
 
Okayyyy, this was my first ever read by Katelyn Taylor and let me tell you, late this book up. I am now off to devour her entire backlist.
 
It is impossible to choose which Graves brother is my favorite, I loved them both so much, but in completely different ways. Zayden was so unhinged, but that man sure knows how to give a girl a gift of healing (iykyk). And Dom, he is more controlled, but not any less obsessed.
 
They're obsessed. I'm obsessed. We're all obsessed. Overall such a great read with some unexpected twists and spicin' spicy scenes (
 
If any of these tropes sounds like something you might enjoy, add this one to your TBR asap.

Honestly, I didn’t love this one as much as I thought I would. I mean a forbidden, bully, stepbrother, hockey romance!? That couldn’t be more up my alley! I was so excited. Now don’t get me wrong, the storyline was great, but it started losing it’s appeal when she started calling him “Daddy”…I understand she had daddy issues and all, but it just didn’t work for me. I also wasn’t a huge fan of the drugging, not necessarily for the act itself, but it just off. Mason was trying to prove his intentions to Leslie and he thought drugging and taking advantage of her was the best way? Idk, wasn’t for me.
