About this listen

One minute I’m cleaning toilets for minimum wage.

The next, I’m waking up from a drug-induced nap with a monster staring down at me.

Kidnapped and seconds from death, I think I’m done for.

Until masked men burst in, murder my attacker, and turn my world upside down.

They call themselves Murder Squad.

A secret brotherhood of broken men who only kill the worst of the worst.

And one of them thinks I’m his wife.

X is unhinged, obsessed, and deadly. A psychopath who hides behind bad jokes and bloodstained fingers.

Whip’s older, grumpy, and used to women paying him to worship them. But when he finds out I’m a virgin, he can’t keep his hands off my plus-size curves.

And Levi? One year of handwritten letters was all it took to fall in love with a man I’d never met. My prison pen pal turned killer, fighting his darkness for a second chance.

But they aren’t the only psychopaths in Saint View.

Someone’s playing a twisted game, leaving rhyming threats and promising to end us all if we don’t stop them first.

With every lie we uncover, every secret we expose, the danger mounts.

Until there’s only one thing we know for sure.

There’s a killer out there.

And this time, he’s hunting us.

X’s and O’s is a dark rom com. It’s an adult, why choose romance, meaning the main character has more than one love interest. You can expect a plus size, tall heroine, psycho heroes, a murder mystery, and a spicy club. This book contains romantic suspense and triggering themes. It is the first book in an ongoing trilogy.

Sooo hope it won’t be long before the next two are released. I highly recommend, you can’t help but fall in love with the 3 male protagonist.

I have devoured X's and O's from beginning to end I couldn't stop. 4.5 stars all around this book made me laugh out loud, full blown belly howls of laughter. I would 100% recommend this book to any fans of the Ruinous Love trilogy.

That being said. Respectfully, Elle Thorne you and I have a problem I need Book 2 like yesterday! What the hell do you mean that's the end of the book!? Why would you do this to me?! I literally sent my best friend who I had been messaging about the book all day a voice message just screaming about that ending. Please please please tell me I'm not going to have to wait long for book 2 (or 3 for that matter) because seriously I'm not ok.

LOVED IT
