The dark-haired waitress came over, her hand on her hip as she looked at my plate. Those are no good, she said as she scooped the plate into her hand and balanced it on her arm. Let me have the cook scramble some more for you. Hey! Baby girl, come here! my father yelled from the living room. His words dripped with the slur of hard liquor. They entered my ears and traveled to my stomach, where they coiled around my gut like a snake, tightening and writhing. Where’s your mother? he shouted. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this. I’ve never read a hitchhiker romance before and now I’m afraid that nothing will come close to Lex and his bunny. Warning: This book may cause blushing, squirming, combusting panties, and/or self-care. It’s definitely NSFW or with a kiddo by your side. In fact, I would highly recommend you read this one after dark to avoid side eye or awkward conversations.

Tropes: Antihero, Enemies-to-Lovers, Family Saga, Jealous/Possessive, Kidnap/Captive, Touch-Her-and-💀 Only one person hadn’t left a tip, but he never paid more than what his bill called for, so I’d gotten used to it. Plus, he gave me something nice to look at. He usually came in with his brother, who wasn’t nice to look at. His hungry stare gave me the creeps.Now he was intoxicated enough to forget the absence of the woman who had cooked and cleaned and cared for him for so many years. If he only looked around at the slew of empty bottles and dirty dishes drawing flies on the coffee table, he might have remembered. Maybe he was so drunk that he couldn’t see straight. the aftermath of her husband’s death and maybe her family? Once they move on from that scene, we don’t know what else happens

But it wasn’t just tending to the pigs that soured me on getting more. I also didn’t like what we had to do to feed them. With the pigs gone, my brother seemed to let the women hang around a little longer. He wasn’t a smart man, but he knew enough to recognize that too many decaying bodies in that pit would draw attention. None of our neighbors lived close enough to ask any questions, but they dropped by occasionally to leave a gift of eggs or an extra pie the missus made. We burned the bodies usually, but that smell still lingered.His brother Gunnir,who takes after their father the most,wants a taste of Alexzander’s new toy,too. How do I recap this book? It’s about a rapist, torturer, and kidnapper who has a heart, and the girl he captures feels like home to him.
