I was (I really was) going to work on a few ARCs and/or TBRs...but then I saw this book (the first one) was on a Pillow Princess mm list and...well...here we are. This is E. Baileu's "Yours to Break." It's the second novel in their Twisted Desires series.
["Oliver Lucchetti never expected to be managing his grandmother’s antique store—alone—at age 23. He finds solace in his quiet life. Coffee shop visits and sleepovers with his best friend are the most exciting activities of his week. When his peaceful routine is upended by the Cohen brothers, he resents them, wanting nothing to do with them. By the time he realizes that Hayes and Hudson are much more dangerous than he thought, it may be too late to escape with his mind intact.
Hayes and Hudson Cohen have always shared everything—secrets, sins, and the thrill of control. The moment they see Oliver, they can’t resist the temptation to break him. As they weave an intricate web of seduction, deceit, and terror, Oliver finds himself trapped in a nightmare of desire turned deadly."]
The moment I realized the next book in this series (this book) was going to be Oliver and the--psychic--twins. I was giddy. Who doesn't love that level of dark romance?
I didn’t expect to like this one as much as I did. It was as hectic and chaotic and borderline insane (no, just regular insane) as I expected. But there were a lot of softer sides and sweeter moments than I had expected.
