----------------------
I used to have big dreams.
Finish college, make beautiful art, and take over my dad's business. But his illness wasn't part of the plan. Neither was his sudden need to keep me locked up in his mansion. Until one night, I came face-to-face with a street biker. Rook Emberson is everything I should fear, yet he's the only one who's ever made me feel alive.
But loving him means risking everything.
Revenge has always been my plan.
I've spent years plotting the perfect way to take back everything Regan Fletcher's father stole from me. When fate puts us together, I know I've found the key to his destruction. Regan is everything I didn't expect, and my plans begin to unravel. What starts as a twisted game of vengeance turns into an obsession.
The lines between love and vengeance blur, and I'm not sure where one ends and the other begins.

Addictive, hilarious and so SO hot!
Well I read that in 24 hours! I can not fault this book at all. The characters, the sexiness, the banter… it was all perfect!

Premise:
As a child, Rook’s parents were killed by wealthy businessman, Cameron Fletcher. And he has vowed to get revenge.
Rook is a motorbike riding middleman for the crime world. One night, he confronts a man who owes a lot of money. But the man bolts, leaving behind his defenceless girlfriend, Regan.
Despite their first encounter, Rook becomes obsessed with her, until he finds out that her last name is Fletcher. And finally it seems his revenge plan has fallen into place!

Where to start…
ROOK! I dare you not to fall in love with him! Firstly… he is hot! Secondly… his mouth… both the things it does and the things he says. He was absolute perfection 🫶 and you could genuinely feel him falling in love with Regan on the page. The normality and comfort he got from her, was just beautiful. This is what made this a 5 star dark romance for me. The love felt so genuine, not just obsession masquerading as love (because let’s face facts, so many dark romances are).
And their relationship in general. Firstly I love some mutual stalking! If I could highlight every bit of dialogue between Regan and Rook, I would! They had me cackling at points. They were so deranged in their conversations sometimes and I loved it! And I love how Rook helped Regan discover her darker and more powerful side!
And the spice! This was a hot book, but had a good balance of build up and plot as well. Boundaries were definitely explored… let’s just say they found a creative use for a wrench 😅 and trust me, it was way hotter than I expected! Plus they truly utilised the bike, which is what is needed from a biker romance!
And finally the wider family! I adored so many of them. Evie and Hero especially had me laughing out loud! I can’t wait to see their own books, and see Kate Crew expand this world. I kind of hope for the Hero and Harper book first, as you just know they will be wild!
All in all, if you loved books like Lights Out and Butcher & Blackbird, I think you’ll like this!!
