About this listen

Play Rough is the thrilling second installment in the Black Rose Kisses series.

Note: The blurb below contains spoilers for the first book, so I'd highly recommend not reading it until you've finished Book One, Fight Dirty. Cool? Cool.

Vengeance is coming. And she’s a cold-blooded bitch.

I can still hear the gunshot. Still see the blank look on Sloan’s face as he pulled the trigger.

Those images beat against the inside of my skull, drowning out everything else. I can’t let my dad’s death be for nothing. No matter what it takes, I’ll make my keepers pay.

The man who took everything from me.
The man who shared his secret with me.
The man who made me think he cared about me.

Maybe Levi and Rory didn’t know about this, but they’re still Black Roses. They’re still complicit. And I don’t care if the moments between us felt real - the hatred burning in my heart is real, too.

These assholes think they can lie to me? That they can turn my life into a game?

Well, watch out, boys.

I play rough.

This is Book Two of four in the Black Rose Kisses series. It's a reverse harem new adult enemies-to-lovers/bully romance that includes high steam, violence, and foul language.

So much repetitive inner monologue

In the first book, Mercy is a strong female. She's a fighter who usually acts before thinking, which honestly, I think was the more interesting part of the first book.

The problem is, this book has her thinking a lot more than acting and when she is thinking, she just thinks in circles. Repetitive, boring and unhelpful circles. Then when she acts, she contradicts most of the things she's spent hours droning on about in her inner monologue. Incredibly frustrating. Nothing wrong with a thinker, but it would be nice if she used some of the intelligence or at least "street smarts" someone like Mercy should have.

From the first book, a lot of things make little sense and even when you try and look passed them, they kind of grind your gears: she's instantly trusted by 3 high ranking gang members despite her predicament, shes watched everyday at school but can go out on her own and meet with her friend etc.

I found the plot twist really predictable, but maybe I've just read a lot of these types of books.

Sloan has no redeeming qualities so far and I dont really see how that could realistically change over the next 2 books in the series

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
