Book 5 of The Bergman Brothers series.

Another wonderful addition, I absolutely loved Oliver and Gavins story. The slow burn. The frenemies to lovers. Ughhhh.

Hmmm this is a tricky one for me to review. Whilst I enjoyed the serial killer plot, and the steam was steaming...it was also, somehow, very juvenile in its writing? And I was never fussed about picking it up. To be honest, if I'd paid for it, I'd have been disappointed, but as it was available on KU, its no real loss to me.

Graphic and prolonged scenes of torture, violence, and scenes of a sexual nature throughout.

FYI, the word huff is mentioned 33 times in this book.

I really enjoyed Severance, though its a strange read. There are three different storyline, Candace in the 'Now' post Shen pandemic, Candace pre Shen pandemic, specifically the 5 years pre pandemic focusing on her day to day life and work life, and the story of Candace's immigrant family.

I don't know how it worked, but somehow it did and I really enjoyed it.

This was such a Sunday read - perfect little bitesized chunks to read over the day.

I enjoyed this one more than the first one. Maybe because I knew the backstory?
