4.5/5 🌶️

how am i supposed to get over this? hands down one of the best books i’ve read this year, if not my favorite.

ensnared was one of my top reads of 2023 so there's no need to tell you how much i looked forward to reading its sequel. there was no question in my mind whether it would be as good, i trust rebecca's talent. but damn, i did not anticipate that it would blow away all my expectations! book 1 was mostly an introduction to this world and the characters, and it ended in a cliffhanger. in this book, the stakes get higher as new characters join in the story. some that you will love, some that you will hate, and some that you will wonder whether to trust or not. but the main focus always stays on eden and her men. 

when i say you go through all the emotions in this book, i mean it. i cried and laughed. i was angry, anxious, relieved, shocked, delighted and frustrated along with the characters. rebecca has such a way with words that makes you feel deeply and intensely! it was a rollercoaster of emotions and i enjoyed every minute of it.

you get to see new sides to each character in entangled. they go through huge growth and changes, dom and jayk in particular. the way rebecca handled the mental health aspect of this story was beautiful and very touching. eden has to deal with a lot of trauma, but she can count on her brutes to be there for her.

in ensnared, my favorites were lucky and dom. this time, it was jayk and dom, but honestly, each of them had their time to shine and showcase their different personalities.

it goes without saying that this book was very spicy, as can be expected from rebecca's books. there are 82 pages (that's 5 chapters) of non-stop delightful smut , and that's not even all of it. and it's very quinnky.

i absolutely recommend this book if you liked ensnared!
