Ataraxia

ARC Read. Thank you Net Galley and Jacklyn Parker for allowing me to review. I absolutely loved this read. The plot is so great every time I thought I had it figured out she threw a new curve ball. Always one step in front of you. You get it all in this read, star crossed lovers that should never be, murder, mystery, and spice. The spice is on point, passionate and rough, in all the best ways. Leaves you breathless and doesn't scream raunchy. 10/10 can't wait to read the second book in this series.

I was blessed with the opportunity to review this
ARC and it's AMAZING!! The plot, the characters, the tension the EVERYTHING iS amazing. I really love the personality that the FL and ML were given and not to mention the spice was also good. I will definitely recommend this book to my friends and families and honestly just anyone who's deciding whether to buy this book or not.

The ending of this book is amazing. I was not expecting it at all and could not put this book down especially as everything was wrapping up!
Ataraxia is about an assain for hire who falls in love with a CIA agent - I’m sure you can guess what the problem will be there. I really enjoyed the FMC and how strong she was portrayed though she is definitely a little morally grey.
There are quite a few spicy scenes and some triggers. The author has a link that you can look them up or you can go into the book blind. The book has a complete ending, but the door is open for the next book and I can’t wait to read it! Thanks to NetGalley and Victory Editing for the ARC!
4.5⭐️ would recommend

Who doesn’t love a cat and mouse situation with a dangerous FMC and a man that can put his money where his mouth is.
The dirty talk in this was 😳😮‍💨

Chyler is an assassin and Atlas is CIA, tasked with taking down the person responsible for the murders surrounding a large pharmaceutical company.. need I say more?!

Great plot twists with an ending that will leave you hanging for the next installment!
Always check trigger warnings before you jump on in.

Spoiler free review

This book is a baddie retelling of Charlie’s Angels. The FMC in this books is a force to be reckoned with. She’s fun, strong and not someone you want to mess with. Especially when it comes to her man.

The characters are fun, plot is entertaining, spicy scenes are spicy and overall I really enjoyed this book. Will definitely be keeping an eye out for the second!

I was given this ARC from the author and NetGalley to review.
This book was like if Charlies Angels and Wretched by Emily McIntire had a baby. It took me a little bit to get into the story but once I was in I couldn't get enough! Chyler and Atlas have a whirlwind relationship. But it isn't all what it seems. They both had some issues from their childhood they are trying to recover from, leaving them both in a mess. When the twist in this book hit I was like that meme of Michael Jackson eating popcorn, I could NOT put this book down!! I truly did not see that coming. All in all Chyler is a badass, but still very childish from having to grow up too fast and having those around her encourage her behaviours. And Atlas, is, well, you'll see. Would definitely recommend reading this book!

This is a fast-paced, action-packed romantic suspense story. I am officially hooked on this series and I am definitly looking forward to the next book in the series..

Where to start?! This book isn’t your typical dark romance (in the best way!). Most dark romances feature a morally grey MMC however this books FMC is a force to be reckoned with… introducing CHYLER TATE. Chyler has a very interesting job and she loves to get her hands dirty! Whilst on a job she crosses paths with your new book boyfriend ATLAS JENSEN. Sparks fly from the start and Atlas has no issues with keeping up with our girl Chyler.

I loved both main characters and the chemistry they had together. The plot was great and it got WILD at the end. It was very fast paced and has early spice - I would say that was the only thing that I didn’t LOVE. It was very insta love - I’m a slow burn girlie what can I say! I loved the Charlie’s angels feel with Chyler, Madison & Alexis - who doesn’t love strong female characters?

If you love dark romance, spice, strong female characters & an MMC with a filthy mouth, this books for you!

‘She began to crawl - and it was the most beautiful thing I had ever witnessed. The way her hips swayed and her shoulder blades pitched with every flawless movement. She was a lioness, prowling for the kill - and I was her pray. Gladly.’

4 star rating for me overall and a 4 ‘hotness’ rating for the spice. I can’t wait to see where this series goes, will definitely continue reading.

Well where do I start.....

This book has me debating whether I was going to finish it or not. Not because it was bad, oh no I just did not want the outcome to be what I thought it would be as I don't think I would of coped.

Well I was surprised...

Chyler is a hired assassin and is working to take down a known pharmaceutical warlord with 2 of her closest pals.
She meets Atlas (a CIA agent) whole workings job and wow does it get hot from there.

The spice is lust worthy and I live the push and pull between the characters and the relationship they build together.

Atlas is a CIA agent working the case to bring the people who are killing all the people working at the pharmaceutical company, but is always one step behind them.

I didn't really like near the end of the story where she just abandoned her friends to the CIA and not look back to be with Atlas. I felt she would of been more loyal to them at least

I really enjoyed reading this book and I look forward to the next one.

Most books focus on morally grey men, but meet Chyler Tate, morally grey badass female with an off switch. When the author said Charlie's Angels but make it dark, she meant it and it is so good. I love a strong, independent FMC and Chyler is definitely that. This is "Touch him and die".


I could not put this book down. Instantly becoming obsessed with the characters, I was desperate to keep reading. The fast pace and dual POV kept me hooked and the pages just kept turning. Dark and intense, the twists kept coming. I'm excited for the second book. 


This is a dark romance and comes with trigger warnings.

Very heart pounding!! The writing is beautifully intense, with vivid descriptions and a pacing that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Parker doesn’t shy away from the gritty and the dark, but it’s done with such finesse that it feels fresh and compelling. The storyline is both thrilling and thought-provoking, making it more than just a typical dark romance. I can’t wait for more.

I immediately inhaled the book once I got my hands on it. I absolutely love that the fmc is a badass and not the typical good girl we usually see in DR books. The book title is an absolute tongue breaker but once I realized why it’s named that I was stunned, genius idea. The story idea was so good and I would have actually loved to see more of chylers ‚dirty jobs’. What I honestly didn’t enjoy too much were all the plot twists at the end. I felt like one bomb after another was dropped on me and it was hard to keep up with everything. The spice added to the relationship between our main characters but after a while it was way too much and not enjoyable anymore. It was nice to read about their past and it added a lot of depth to their characters. It’s not a typical dark romance book and that’s what I loved. It was new and fresh and had me hooked from the start. I can’t wait to read the second book as well! I would have liked to see atlas making chyler grovel for a bit after that one plot twist.
