This is the first book in The Edge series and boy did it start off strong. Warning though, this book is dark, so read all content warnings before picking it up. I really really enjoyed this book. I think you’ll also like it to if:
▪️You love some spice (and some kink).
▪️You like a little side of thriller with your
romance
▪️Banter, banter, and more banter
▪️You like your book boyfriends just a touch morally gray
▪️You like your female main characters feisty, strong, and independent
▪️You love to read about characters healing from their pasts and learning to be themselves again

I think the piece of this book that really caught me was the fact that it’s dark, but that wasn’t because the MMC treated the FMC like garbage until the end (like a lot of other dark romances I’ve read). Shit goes down in this book for sure, but the the relationship between the main characters wasn’t part of that.

If I can convince you to read this book for any reason, it’s the main two characters. We were briefly introduced to Chase and Isabella in Lyra’s Rivera Brothers trilogy, so I was already pumped to get to know them better. Chase mother f-ing Stevens has become a top tier book boyfriend for me. He is so attuned to Isabella and everything she needs emotionally and physically. He’s also not afraid to get his hands dirty for her safety and we love that. Isabella is one of the strongest characters I’ve read. She knows what she wants and goes for it. I really admired Isabella because she is submissive, but not in the way that submissive women are written in most romance novels. She has personality, fire, and is capable of taking care of herself while also seeking help. Reading her journey is this book was just…ugh…so good.

This book will keep you on your toes, break your heart, and stitch it back together with a side of double fudge cake.

An easy 5 stars from me ❤️
