Evelyn Bella's Reviews > From Best To Bested

I come in peace(and for guidance because maybe I'm a rookie but y'all are fraternizing with TEN INCH DICKS?

Christ. Would explain the hollow feeling y'all keep claiming when relationships end.

Why does Ezra have a 10 inch dick? It's neither necessary for the plot or the sex😂😂😂😂😂I'm so amused honestly. WHY?!

“Hold it,” Ezra demanded, keeping a firm grip on Roman’s head while the entirety of his dick ached in Roman’s throat.

The entirety of the 10 inch dick? I call bullshit.

' Roman believed Ezra had stretched his entire throat out already, but somehow, he managed to find some muscles still tight enough to please him.'

💀💀💀💀Ezra the Explorer.

'As Roman lapped at Ezra’s ball sack, the man slapped Roman’s face with his dick'

This guy is such a menace, honestly 😂

'He smacked Roman in the face with his dick, laughing lightly every time Roman flinched when the dickhead hit his eye.'

😂😂😂😂😂Come on, man.

“All right.” Ezra stepped closer, his dick almost touching Roman’s nose. “Open your mouth and say oooooo.”

I see now why one of the TWs on this was degradation because what is this rubbish 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

This started out funny and then got really dark, really sad, really fast. And then the twists started coming and they didn't stop coming.

You ever started a book, seen the page with trigger warnings and skipped it, figuring, 'meh, I can probably handle it'? Yeahhhh, DON'T DO THAT with this one.

Even having read the TWs, I was still aghast at some of the things I read(but tbf, I rarely read dark romance, but also, genuinely, the TWs are accurate. Nothing was a surprise)

I don't know if there's a good way to exhaustively review this without spoiling what I can say are some of the best plot twists I've read recently. There's stuff that's not even hinted at in the blurb and I feel should be experienced by each reader on their own so I won't get into the latter half of the book for that reason.

My one annoyance was that the big bad undefeated champion in this penitentiary is a 22 year old. Christ. Howwwwww is this even possible? I wish authors feared older MCs less. Especially in a book with this many triggers.

I had a range of feelings with this one. First it was funny, then I was confused. Then I got sad, THEN enraged, then I got a glimmer of hope, thought it would end on a nice warm note, THEN it ended with a WTF feeling.

If I wanted my mom to come pick me up because I was scared BUT I also really wanted to know what happened next, that sounds like a win to me.

***If dark romance is your thing, I feel like this will be right up your alley. If it's not, once again I implore you to read the TWs because the author MEANT that list. Exhaustively.
