Ugh. I really wanted to like this one….but honestly wish I DNF’d it. Not a fan of porn over plot…or more like porn with glimpses of the mafia. About halfway through I was just pushing through out of stubbornness. Skimmed the last 100 pgs. Definitely not for me, but if you’re in it just for the spice with mafia-lite vibes, maybe it’ll hit different for you.

Did I know what this book was about when I started it? Nope. 

Did I blindly assume it was a fantasy book based on the cover? Sure did. (Ruthless CREATURES, Queens and MONSTERS). 

Did I enjoy the read once I got over it? Yes I did. 

A solid read. If I was someone who taught our mafia romance I feel like I would have enjoyed it more. 

It did take me a little longer to get into this book. Partially because I hyped myself up for a fantasy book (my fault) but mostly because I’m not a fan of instant love and I found the characters a little unrealistic. 

The spice in this book was also hit or miss for me. Some scenes were great but the scenes that dove more into kink just didn’t hit the way I expected.
