Content Advisory
Vicious Butterfly
You are about to read a dark romance featuring morally gray and red-flag MCs. Their choices won’t always make sense. Their morals won’t always align with yours. They will do some dark and disturbing shit unapologetically. This book isn’t primed to teach you about fetish lifestyles or fetish best practices, so please do not take it as a how-to or instruction manual. The author does not condone any of the situations or actions that take place in this book, nor do they always agree with the characters. Do not take this book seriously. It’s a work of fiction written for your entertainment & pleasure ONLY. Should you resonate with the themes of this book, it is important to seek guidance that is not this book. My MCs love unapologetic alpha men. If you need a groveling hero, this book is not for you. But, honestly, if you see any of the guys from this book in real life, run the other way!

Breakneck Hockey:
For those of you who choose to go forward with reading this book after reading the warnings, please remember that while this book isn’t classified as a “dark” romance, it’s not the fluffly MM you might be used to reading. The characters are gritty, misbehaved, and do things that will make you want to throw your kindle across the room. The author does NOT condone any of the situations or actions that take place in this book. This book is NOT primed to teach you about fetish lifestyles, or fetish best practices, so please do not take it as a how-to or instruction manual. It’s just two hockey guys doing what they want, how they want, when they want it. The MC is a morally gray hero. My MCs love their alpha men unapologetic.

Content Advisory: Dementia. Past death of a parent (for both MCs). Mentions of drug abuse. Sports-related Violence. Violence. Off-screen mentions of past childhood neglect. LIGHT biting/marking kink (that is romanticized) No safewords used for anything. No pre-sex talks about what they’re going to do to each other, just spur-of-the-moment, wild sexy times! Sensitive language. Some MCs suspect suicide & self-harm of another MC (but thankfully their suspicions are unfounded) - only a few lines about this total, but a heads up for you! Mental Health struggles that the characters choose not to categorize. In the prologue, we open to one MC having been chained to a bed in the dark, which is NOT for sexy times—he’s been taken. This is only in prologue. More mentions about this in an off-page kinda way. Mentions of grooming (very off-page), and in one scene in the prologue, the “bad guy” creepily runs a rose over Dash’s face. Despite all this, it’s actually a pretty light book with heavy angst. But, as always, if you’re unsure, reach out to Mock or their team.

Should you resonate with the themes of this book, it is important to seek guidance that is not this book. Tags: polyamorous relationships. Fantasied domestic discipline. Lots and lots of spanking (non-consensual spanking, consensual-non-consent spanking, non-sexual spanking). No “safe word” use or other traditional “etiquette” you may have seen in other books. This highlights a kind of sexuality vs. any kind of “lifestyle” you may have read before. This is meant to explore a fictitious Elven world and their customs. ***Note*** There is NO cheating in this book. In the last 1/3, Tristan is discovering his poly nature and so it’s ambiguous as he explores, but we’ll later find out in the 2nd book (once he understands Elves) he had nothing to worry about. It is written shockingly, but everything is still consensual and within the realms of poly for this world. All sex is consensual and between adults who are at minimum twenty-five years old.
Trigger Warnings: This book contains themes some readers may find dark while other readers may not find it dark at all.
