Summary

Once upon a time, three men almost destroyed me.
Now they're the only ones who can save me.

Living with the three men who ruined me in high school was supposed to be temporary, a refuge from the trafficking ring hunting me.

But that was before I fell into their web of passion and danger.

Nolan
is the medic obsessed with hearing the beat of my faulty heart—and he has a secret of his own.

In the middle of the night, I can always find Jude, drawing me in his sketchbook, ready to hold me until I can sleep.

And then there’s Rafe, who has demons of his own. I just didn’t know I was the biggest one of all.

Now I’m at war with a shadowy world of powerful people who want me dead—and the Blackwell Bastards are the only thing standing between us.

Trusting the three men who ruined my life wasn’t on my Bingo card.

But loving them?

Loving them may kill us all.

I usually love Sadie Hunt’s interconnected trilogies, and Hell to Pay had all the elements of a story I would normally give four or even five stars. The plot is solid, the characters are engaging, and the world-building is exactly what I expect from her.

However, as a Type 1 diabetic for more than 45 years, I was deeply disappointed by the portrayal of one of the main male characters’ diabetes. Without giving spoilers, everything related to his condition is portrayed inaccurately. The descriptions of symptoms, blood sugar reactions, and insulin use are simply wrong—often the complete opposite of how diabetes actually works.

For example, the book repeatedly suggests that skipping insulin causes dangerously low blood sugar to the point of passing out. In reality, missing insulin causes extremely high blood sugar, not lows. Yes, some diabetics manage their condition poorly, but the physiology doesn’t change. These errors go far beyond small mistakes and perpetuate harmful myths about diabetes. She also said he was a navy seal but diabetics can't join any military branch

Story-wise, I genuinely enjoyed the book. But when an author gives a main character a medical condition, I believe they carry the responsibility to research and portray it correctly. In this case, the misinformation was too significant to overlook.

Unfortunately, because of these inaccuracies, I can’t give Hell to Pay more than one star—even though I wanted to love it.

Can't overlook the medical misinformation
