This is the second book I'm reading from this author. The first was Fractured Freedom and I loooved it but I was left a little confused while reading this one and while trying to connect Dante's story as well as his personality. I'm just glad I read his story first because I probably would have hated it if I read this one first.
Some of the things felt repetitive when compared to the other book I read. Don't get me wrong, I love 'Bridgerton' just as much as the next person but why was there a reference to the show in both books? Another thing that gave me the biggest ick was the fact that these seemingly scary people (grown adults) who killed others for a living, blew raspberries... In both books. How? I found it weird and hard to imagine trained killers doing that. The prologue had me hooked but the more it felt repetitive the more I struggled to push through. Kate was a boss babe but she was an unlikeable character.
Finally, I would just like to say that I was crossing my fingers for Kate to choose Bastian.
I didn't quite enjoy this one so I doubt I'll be reading the second one.

Okay so yea, this was my first read from Shain Rose and it was one hell of a ride and did not disappoint. I will definitely be going back and reading all of her work. Rome & Katie are seriously everything. Katie is a complete baddie, she is strong independent and purely amazing. Katie grew up in this world and she knows how to take care of herself and she knows how to bring these fierce ruthless killers to their knees. Rome and Katie’s chemistry is off the charts and sexy AF. The tension between these two bleeds from the pages as you read their story. This story is rough raw and dirty and is everything a Mafia story should be. “You bleed, we bleed. You Die, we die” gahhhhhh all the feels!! If you love a dark romance with ALL THE THINGS then you seriously need to pick this pad boy up ASAP…. Be prepared though for that cliffy that left me with my WTH just happened face and had me wanting to throw my kindle at the wall. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book. This book will hold you captive from beginning to end!!! AMAZING!!!!
