About this deal

A scary Russian gangster guy is the one who buys her virginity. Before he can do the deed, the 3 heroes burst into the room to kill him (as revenge for that guy killing their mom). They’re about to kill Willow, since she’s a witness, and a loose end they can’t afford. But they spare her, and keep an eye on her instead to make sure she doesn't rat them out - which includes stalking her, setting up cameras in her apartment, etc. Pretty soon, the guys monitoring her turns into each of them getting interested in her. And she can't help getting fascinated by these guys who keep popping up in her life like phantoms, even though she's wary and scared, at first. So this is medium level dark - no dub/ non con, but the heroes DO kind of try to kill her, at first.

I’ve got a list with six names on it. Six people who wronged me, who hurt me, who took everything from me. Six people who turned me into the monster I am now.Character development: Willow is still in the self-discovery phase of her life and you can clearly see her growing into her own with the choices and experiences she goes through. The dark RH genre is filled with over-the-top shenanigans. In some RHs, the author isn't good at getting me to just go with whatever the premise is. In this story, is it ridiculous that Willow is selling her virginity, then gets entangled with these mysterious gangster brothers? Sure! But the way Eva Ashwood writes, I never pause to be like "this is absurd," the way I do with some others. She draws me in and gets me to just go with it. Vic-- he knows what he did. And look, I know he didn't do it to harm her but IM STILL MAD, OK. My heart broke for Willow at the end, because she thought she finally found her place in this world only to be blindsided once more. So this boy has a ton of groveling to do. Honestly, I don’t know how to feel about that. Because as much as I refuse to let my walls down for anyone, I’m starting to think these four brutal, dangerous men… Overall, this turned into a hate-read because I needed to know how the book ended. It ended in a cliffhanger, so naturally I’m going to read the next one. I’m hoping the second one has the redemption the first one needs.

When Willow can no longer afford college, she sells her virginity. On her first night, her client is however murdered by three guys. Seeing as she’s a witness, the guys follow her to make sure that she doesn’t ruin their lives by telling what she saw. They however do not expect her to ruin their lives in a different way. I purposely put off reading this book until the last minute because I knew I would obsess over that cliffhanger (and warning: it's not an easy one, but nowhere near as bad as ROW. Yes, I'm still salty about that. That cliffy almost sent my ass to therapy.🤣) but OMG this was so freaking good!! Willow is a badass, and though she's much softer than the other heroines I've read from this author, she still has such a formidable strength to her that I can't wait to find more about. Plus I have a feeling that a particular someone the guys tried to kill is going to end up being very important to her. The fbi needs to recruit me, ok?

See a Problem?

I am *very* interested in seeing where they go from here, especially after that ending. In classic Eva fashion, it is a cliff hanger. not quite as bad as the ending of Reign of Wrath... but this still made me want to scream. I am gonna stop there tho, because I don't want to post any spoilers.

Nothing makes sense anymore, and if I thought I might find some peace in knowing that the men who hurt us are dead, I was wrong.Sometimes the people you love turn your love against you, and it’s the most brutal weapon in the world.”

Her stories just feel like she’s a pro. Her prose isn’t anything special, it’s simple and straightforward. But she clearly knows what she’s doing. Her stories flow well, don’t have clunky sentences or plotting, are good at setting up the story immediately (not taking a long time to do it). Her RHs are also good at having heroes with distinctive personalities who don’t all blend together – and, they establish the hero personalities immediately. I never spend a long time having to be like “which guy is which, again?” the way I do for a lot of RHs. They're well paced, I never read a chapter where it feels like nothing happened. There is forced proximity/one bed/stalking/age gap/possessive mmcs/underground and organised crime etc No shit but that cliffhanger and plot twist towards the end got me like😭🤯😧. Need me the third book ASAP. I don't know how I'm gonna survive until it comes out ajshjsksksk😩 On a serious note tho, it's safe to say that Eva Ashwood has become one of my fav authors - specifically fav RH author - and I look forward to seeing Willow, Mal, Ransom and Vic's story progress💗 I did however enjoy the mystery about the guys’ pasts and Willow’s past - I’m quite sure her parents are alive and we’ll see more of them soon. I’m interested in hearing more about them. The spice was also already there in a BIG amount, which surprised me for a first book, but I did like it. I also liked Ransom at moments, but he turned into a overly cute boyfriend puppy kinda guy, which I didn’t love at all. There were just so many cliches in his relationship with Willow - like drawing her a bath after something sexual, really? - and I just didn’t like most of the cliches. So many things that he said to Willow just made me cringe so hard, so I ended up not loving him at all anymore near the end. I love my guys truly bad and not this kind of wannabe badboy. Mal seems promising in this regard though, hope he’ll stay like that too.Honestly, Victor’s character is up there with my one of fav mmc’s even if I didn’t like the plot I would keep reading for him! I find his character so interesting, I love his quirks so so much, I love that he was OCD and is super sensitive with it and his rituals, tech geek, can’t lose control, won’t even touch Willow because that’s too much ‘chaos’ for him to handle with his emotions, but the relationship he has with her and the way he really opens up when they speak on the phone till she falls asleep, or text each other in the day I just love them 🥰
