I love that Willow Winters always has such a mature and authentic approach to the BDSM world, I always enjoy reading her books. I'm gradually making my way through the Highest Bidder series, completely out of order... my mistake. But so far they have been so good. I loved the give and pull that Katia and Isaacs's relationship, and I especially loved Madamme Lynn's appearances and meddling. I merely have Owned and Given left to read now and I can't wait to get into them.

"One truth I’ll never deny is this: I’m more of a Slave to her than she ever was, or will be, to me."

I'm not gonna lie this is one of the few tropes that I avoid completely, Step-Siblings. But, it was one of the squares on @thesmuthood Trope Bingo, so I caved. Someone recommended this book to me for this topic, and I have been blown away by it. I did not anticipate it to be so darn good, needless to say, I ended up purchasing the whole series. This was perfect I don't even know what to say in this review, besides that you should go read it for yourselves. I have no idea what was in this book but I would like to box it up and keep it for myself, so I can forever feel the high that I had while reading it.

"That’s my trigger. The thing that sends me back into the dark, safe confines of my bed for the fourteenth day in a row. A black rubber band. A solitary reminder that she was here, she was happy, she was mine…and I ruined it."

God, where do I even begin with this? I have been waiting for this book with bated breath ever since that first little announcement on Patreon. I have been so excited about it and yesterday I got an early copy, courtesy of Jenika Snows Patreon. I 100% stopped everything I was doing to read it and all my expectations were exceeded, this was just so good. I completely adore Jenikas, Monster and Beauties series and every book has been perfect. This one was a spin-off of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears fairytale, and it was the first reverse harem of the series. The spice certainly tripled in this one and I loved that we got to see each of the bears' POVs during the mating. I recommend that you give, if not the whole series, this book a read.

"I am going to sample very hole you have to offer. And the ones I'm not using, I'll let my bothers take as theirs."

Best one in the series, this one was so good! I adore the relationship between Joseph and Lily and I loved that they grew so much together. I loved that it showed a different side to the BDSM lifestyle, that what you might want might not be what you get. Joseph and Lily both had different expectations and views about their relationship going into it, but in the end, ended up with something that meet them both in the middle. I think that this is the first time I’ve seen a book like this that changes the BDSM relationship between the characters, to suit their needs more. This one had a bit more action in it than the others, with the whole mafia and murder thing, but I just loved it. It gave the book a whole new kind of depth and it wouldn’t have been the same without it. My favourite thing in the whole book has got to be Lily's thoughts and actions about books. Because I have had all of them myself before, they were just too funny and accurate. If you were to read any book from this series it should be this one, I feel like you get a bit of everything from it. I only have Given left in this series to read and I can't wait to get into it.

“Ugh. It makes me so mad! Like, who the fuck does that? I can’t say it enough. I. Detest. Cliffhangers”
