3.5/5

Summary: After a police raid on her club/bar, Bliss struggles to get her affairs back in order, manage the danger to her lovers/herself/family and find her footing in her new life.  Meanwhile, each of the men in her life is fighting their own battles.

Stats: CR/Dark, RH/MMFM, part of a series, must be read in order, open door.

Notes: The FMC is growing a bit more on me.  I find the MMCs well differentiated and interesting, but the plot is becoming somewhat repetitive.  This feels like a book that needed to be a series to include the character depth and wildness of the plot, but doesn’t actually have enough to get it through the length without circling back on itself again and again and again.  I really don’t care to read entire chapters from POV’s not belonging to the main characters, which are becoming increasingly frequent in this installment… and there are a lot of loose ends when all is said and done - feels a little cheap to move things though to the next series that way.  Still, they’re interesting, fun and I’ve enjoyed the series over all.
