Be Mine, Cruel Valentine's (Corrupt Cupid)


I'm in a dark-romance-era (yes, again), and I'm working through the Mayhem Universe (including authors as such as Skylar Snow and Brea Alepoú). This universe includes the Mafia Daddies series, the Vitale Brothers series (which I've read), The Hitters MC series, and a few standalones (which were actually part of different multi-author series). Here's Brea Alepoú's "Be Mine, Cruel Valentines." It's part of the (multi-author) Corrupt Cupid series.

["I’ve been tormented by three a-holes my whole life; Theon, Foxyn, and Leyton. From sticking me in lockers to giving me wedgies to stripping me naked and laughing while I try to run home these three have done it all. For years, I hated them and their cruel games. I’m their senior, I shouldn’t let them push me around. But at some point the pain turned to pleasure and I…liked it. Their wicked glances, their devilish grins, their endless teasing. A few well placed words and I’m a wet, squirming mess. Now? I can’t get enough of them. I don’t want to share them with anyone else. They will be mine. My cruel Valentines."]

A bully, why-choose romance. Wow. This was fucked up but also fluffy as hell. It was depraved and desperate. It was universes colliding and second chances. And gotta say, when Brea said her inspiration for this novella was the quote “stop bullying me or I’ll cum” makes soooo much sense. 

These four were unconventional and a little psychotic and a lot insane. But…it worked for them. Eventually. After some communication and a favor from someone’s mafia uncle (heeeey, Elio!). 

Trigger Warnings: torture, toxic relationship, violence, abuse, bully (heavy), and more.
