Who Would Like This Book:
If you love your romance tangled with raw emotion, a dash of danger, and spicy, can't-put-down chemistry, "Flock" just might be your next obsession. Kate Stewart spins a mysterious, modern Robin Hood tale filled with moral greys and brooding bad boys. The writing is immersive, the twists keep you guessing, and the forbidden elements make for serious page-turning vibes. Perfect for romance fans craving angst, a little chaos, and plenty of steam, or anyone ready to fall into a series that will haunt you long after you finish.
Who May Not Like This Book:
If ambiguous plots, slow reveals, and heavy inner monologues drive you up the wall, this might not be your cup of tea. Some readers found the pacing frustratingly slow, the writing style overly flowery, or the main character tricky to relate to. The mysterious vibes mean you’re left in the dark quite a bit - if you prefer clear answers and straightforward storylines, you could find yourself confused or disconnected. And if the idea of a poly situation or morally questionable choices makes you cringe, you might want to steer clear.

Can you keep a secret?
I grew up sick.
Let me clarify.
I grew up believing that real love stories include a martyr or demand great sacrifice to be worthy.
Because of that, I believed it, because I made myself believe it, and I bred the most masochistic of romantic hearts, which resulted in my illness.
When I lived this story, my own twisted fairy tale, it was unbeknownst to me at the time because I was young and naïve. I gave into temptation and fed the beating beast, which grew thirstier with every slash, every strike, every blow.
Triple Falls wasn't at all what it seemed, nor were the men that swept me under their wing. But in order to keep them, I had to be in on their secrets.
Secrets that cost us everything to keep.
That's the novelty of fiction versus reality. You can't re-live your own love story, because by the time you've realized you're living it, it's over. At least that was the case for me and the men I trusted my foolish heart to.
Looking back, I'm convinced I willed my story into existence due to my illness.
And all were punished.
This trilogy is a gritty, modern day take on Robin Hood. It's an unconventional love story-bad boys/antiheroes-filled with suspense, steam, major twists, a little action, and ALL OF THE FEELS.

Good book, brings you into the characters feelings from a third person view to almost first person
Dominic King.
Another DNF-- 82% (8H22M) in. I had no idea what the book was about going in, only that the overall ratings were pretty good and the author is well-liked. I pushed past some questionable treatment of the heroine a couple of times, but I've reached my stopping point, for the spoiler-y reasons that follow.
Cecilia and guy1 have a date. She's bought a fancy dress, got her hair did, and cooked him dinner. He's 6 hours late, and she's the a$$hole because she expected an apology from him rather than guess he had something come up. Mind you, he's not a GD trauma surgeon on call--he's an anti-cellphone thief. He couldn't call because of THE MAN and, in his opinion, she's just too young for him if she can't accept that. I stopped listening when she agreed with him. WTactualF.
I didn't care about the polyamorous relationship. It was kind of weird, but to each her own. My issue was with the dudes. They're generally dicks who seem to be part of a cult. I guess I'll never know the whole 3-book story.
I guess it just wasn't for me. On to the next....
Forget about getting any sleep if you’re reading this page turner. Great series
