I’ve had a hard life. Orphaned at birth and living in a small broke town, one that believes I’m a cursed child. The bringer of bad luck.
I tried to escape the stigma, to create something better for myself. It all came crashing down one night and my world shattered.
While dealing with the aftermath, an unbelievable opportunity landed in my lap. A scholarship to attend an exclusive university far away. This was my chance to start fresh.
With nothing left to lose, I take it.
I didn’t expect to run into a blast from my past. The Ambros triplets. My only friends at the orphanage until they were adopted, and I never saw them again. These boys are now grown and everything about them calls to me.
They want to make good on their promises all those years ago. They want to protect me. Take care of me.
The longer I’m around them the more I see their wants bleed into something dark, something obsessive.
I know it’s wrong, but why does it feel so good?
This is a dark romance where the good guys and bad guys are blurred, nothing is quite as it seems, and its hard who to know who you can trust. This is a romance where the FMC doesn’t have to choose between love interests. Make sure to check authors website for warnings.

Layrin is 21, an orphan, she works in a diner and she’s trying really hard to build a life for herself.She is the forgotten child, the town cursed child, she is a bad omen.For a few brief moments in her exhausting and hard d life she had happiness in the forms of the Ambrose triplets who lived at the orphanage for a year when they were 10.Now everyone’s grown up and the triplets have been ‘watching’ Layrin for the better part of 11 years but kept their distance for her safety, because their family business and family members are criminal and evil.But they never stopped loving her, and their ultimate goal is to have her by their sides forever.This book was different to other Kira Stanley books in that the FMC isn’t a badass. She’s not the leader or the chosen one or the next queen. She’s a young woman deeply traumatized by her life just trying to find a way out but everyone around her is a liar and as soon as she figures it out, I would expect her to walk away.I liked this book, but some of the plot reveal is slow. It’s was a fairly quick read and I finished it within a day.

Questo libro ha la bellissima capacità di tenerti incollato alle pagine! Nonostante sia un dark romance, il tono è abbastanza leggero anche se comunque ci sono elementi “dark” come le società segrete sul campus e dei love interest estremamente possessivi e protettivi. Se ami dark romance e why choose, allora consiglio questa lettura!

This was so much better then I ever would of guessed. Downloaded on a whim it ticked all my favorite boxes. So glad I do not have to wait on that cliff hanger because wow. A first for this author for me but not the last. Love finding new authors especially good ones that keep you gripped from the start.

Was given this as a rec on a Facebook group and WOW I’m so glad I took the plunge!Fast paced but not, enough secrets to keep you invested and the triplets totally OBSESSED with an old friend ‘Rin’Onto book 2

In questo dark why choose romance, le linee tra il bene e il male sono sfocate. Ho adorato il legame tra i tre fratelli e Layrin già dai loro giorni all’orfanotrofio. Un legame che i fratelli non hanno dimenticato, anche quando sono stati costretti a lasciarla. Questa devozione mi rende particolarmente debole, soprattutto se si tiene conto del morally gray di questi uomini. C’è tensione, spice, un po’ di mistero e tutto il fascino delle società segrete e delle rivalità in un ambiente universitario, ma anche alcuni momenti divertenti che mi hanno fatto sorridere.

Secrets
Thereâs a lot of secrets and intrigue in this book. Almost too much? Itâs a slow burn, told from all POV. The things happening seem sort of disconnected to the storyline so it gets confusing and difficult to follow. At times the insignificant details donât fit with the whole picture… I love the syndicate series and was a bit disappointed with this book. I will read the second one and hope for the best.

Obsessions of the Heart
Layrin is grew up as an outcast in a small town and decrepit orphanage. For one year she experienced happiness when the Ambrose triplets come to the orphanage. Rin stuck up for Rion, Roux and Ravi and in return they gave her their devotion. 11 years later Rin is still struggling to get by while the Ambrose triplets are living a life of a lie. But the one thing they never lie about is their obsession with Rin and their need to have her back in their lives for good. They devise a plan to make their dreams become a reality but it’s sidelined by their enemies. Rin just wants to be loved and cared for. She’s a strong women but misses the connection she had in her youth with the Ambrose triplets. However, she’s not naive or blind that the new and old people in her life are hiding things from her.This book has a great plot with steamy scenes that keeps you enthralled from beginning to end. I loved the distinct personalities of the Ambrose triplets and I also loved the girl besties Rin cultivates.

ð¤Orphans/Foster siblingsð©¶Secret Societyð¤Triplet MMCâsð©¶College Romanceð¤Touch her and â ï¸I really liked this book! The guys bring such an intensity with them – and I loved how unique they were to eachother. It was clear who was who – and I really appreciated that.Rin is a strong but soft FMC. Sheâs been through a lot and has a tough backbone, but she feels and isnât a âbad@ssâ which I appreciated.I enjoyed how the story is coming together, and am hoping for more emotional intensity in the second book.

I think my reading slump ruined it for me
A girl thinks she is cursed. But she doesnât know that the triplets from her past have been watching and planning.I should have loved this book. I think I am going to shelve it and reread in a month cause there is no reason why I didnât love it. I am definitely gonna reread and and then go to book 2 to give it a fair shot.

So good
I loved this book! It kept intrigued the whole time. Each character is something else. At some points I wanted to scream at Rin and others I wanted to scream at Rin! Secrets are always the dirty thing that makes things more difficult…moving on to the next!!Highly recommend!

An Amazing Story!!!!!
All I can say to start with is just shock! This was my first book by Kira Stanley and I was throughly impressed. This story had me on the edge of my seat unable to put it down. I absolutely had to find out what to Layrin and the Ambros brothers. Layrin has had a tough life but she definitely stays strong throughout it all. She has this sweet personality that you instantly love. The old say when life gives you lemons you make lemonade is so true for her. The Ambros brothers are fantastic. I love a little crazy with the men in books. Saying that it says these three fit right in. The only thing that I had a bit of being off was that their names were so close together I was forgetting which brother I was dealing with sometimes. Otherwise, the story is extremely well written and developed. The ending of this book has a very major cliffhanger. I absolutely cannot wait to see what happens next.

An Obsession Indeed!
Wowâ¦this book definitely took a forbidden romance and friendship and just ran with it! The characters had so much depth, even the ever so difference triples who really helped keep this story moving. I enjoyed the plot, even though some sections were a little slow. This book ended on one heck of a cliff hanger and I canât wait to read more!
