This was too insta love for me.. definitely not a dark romance! Probably the nicest mafia book I’ve ever read.
Insta-love was way too quick. Meeting to married within a week. But other than that, it's an enjoyable read. Would recommend

My favourite Kylie Kent book so far. I really liked this book!
I enjoyed both MCs and I'm enjoying the Mafia-lite aspect of it. It's not really dark imo but I really do like the H's obsession with Holly from when he meets her. This instalove thing can go either way for me but I feel like the author got it right. I also really like that Holly felt the "rightness" in meeting T. Although she was shocked by the depth of her feelings for him after such a short amount of time she accepted these feelings for the most part. The problem I have with instalove isn't the insta part more that those stories tend to get boring very quickly. This didn't happen here the story was fast paced and compelling that it just all worked well for me.
It lost half a star because the cliffhanger was predictable and I saw it coming. As you got H’s pov before the cliffhanger occurs you can pretty much guess what is going to happen. Consequently it didn't have the shock factor. Depending on your perspective it softened the blow for the reader or ruined the cliffhanger. I didn't take a whole star off because to me this book was not that dark so it didn't ruin my enjoyment of it or put me off moving on to book 2.

The book is super fast paced. Everything just happens. There’s no build up, no anticipation. It’s hard to get emotionally attached. The conversations are very much immature lovey-dovey conversations.
This book feels like something I would have read at the age of 16 on wattpad. The story itself has the potential to be great. The author should have just taken their time …

I hated how cheesy the mfc was. I hated the instalove.
I just couldn't see the connection they had nor could I imagine a mafia boss acting like that.
How could he not have eyes on him where everyone saw her with him in the beginning when he was trying to keep it quiet.

DNF at 70%. This book is just a mess. The writing, the insta love, the painful plot holes, the so-called ruthlessness? Lol.
It's just all bad.
It's just all bad.
Romance like a race car. From 0 to 120 in 2 seconds. The MMC mets the FMC and talks about marrying her a few seconds later. Too fast to be believable. DNF. Won't read future books from this author.
