I think I found a new author who writes exactly what I need and crave: a great and emotional hurt/comfort series. Yep. Who was gatekeeping S. Rodman? Huh?! Well, I will indulge myself now, thank you very much.

I'm glad this is an omegaverse without mpreg, and with sex slaves, found family, hurt/comfort galore, lots of sad and hurt boys, and lots of affection.

I adored the MCs. Some parts are dark, with some dub-con, non-con punishment, and other intense scenes, but I devoured it all. I'm a sucker for captive/captor MM romances, and this one delivered. There are tons of feels, hesitancy, and fear to open up, but not for long.

I was impressed with how the author made the healer/omega pairing work, even without the usual alpha physiology. I mean, the fisting scene was so hot.

I read this in a day and I'm already halfway through the next book.

Bonus epilogue: (from the author's newsletter link) So yeah, this was delicious. Red's heat and the toys? Yum. Short and filthy.
