ATLAS

I know what they say. Grief makes you do things. After the year I've had, I'm bathing in it. Dad's dead. Mom is...mom. My boyfriend and best friend are too busy screwing to comfort me. When a letter arrives with no return address telling me where to go for a new start, I don't hesitate. I pack some clothes and what's left of my life and run. But I didn't expect the fire waiting for me when I arrived. I didn't count on the burn. Rowdy Wray. They call him the lion of Idlewild. Me...I call him boss. He's the key to my past and the path to my future. What happens next is our twisted secret.

ROWDY

Who is this girl? Atlas Beck. This damaged young thing shows up at my place of business and tells me she's my new receptionist. I should have fired her. I would have fired her if she hadn't begged so beautifully. Atlas told me not to let her go, but she didn't know what she was asking. And now? It's too late to put the crazy back in the cage.

Contains mature themes.

I thinks the %#$! not! 😆

The book was good don't get me wrong but I couldn't get over the non consensual sex scenes being romanticized with this grown ssa man young teenage adult. When it was clear in the beginning she was a young teenager Owen still attempted to take her behind the dumpster and rape her not knowing if she was of legal age or not ( even though it's still rape) she literally had to bite him until he bled for him to briefly stop only for him to do it back to her , had it not been for Rock .... smh 🤦🏾‍♀️ Atlas annoyed me throughout most of the book and I had to remind myself she was only 19... I also feel like as long as this book was, there was plenty of opportunity to further develop some of the other characters. I was really hoping to learn more about Golden and hoped he and Remedy would make a connection along with Demi and Rock. Lastly once we went into the gray I wanted to get the F' up out of there 🤮 Great Epilogue though 🖤

That PLOT TWIST!!!!!!!

Chile!!!! I haven’t read a book with a twist I didn’t see coming in a LONG TIME! I was pointing the finger at everybody 😂! But this book had my emotions on a rollercoaster. At one point I was standing in one spot for 10 minutes waiting to hear the results 😭 but the epilogue did not disappoint. Usually they never quite capture the characters , but in this case Owen and atlas having them many crazy children was very on brand for them. If you read or listened to this story you know them two was NASTY!!! But I loved EVERY SECOND OF THIS BOOK. At no point was I bored or skipping certain povs . Yall use the dang credit for this one !!

Talk about a twist!!

While I do still have hair, what's left is all gray!! Talk about take you thru dere!! I wasn't prepared for these characters foolishness or the twist.

I was not ready for that!

Love me some BB Reid stories but I was not ready for this one . Talk about taboo age gap. Narration was really good.

THIS BOOK.....Wow!!

Loved this book!! It was hot AND spicy! The plot twist had my heart beating out my chest! The narrators were fabulous! This was such a GREAT read!! My first book by this author HOWEVER, im about to deep dive in her CATALOG I NEED MORE!!!
