This book is literally the first five star I have given a mafia romance, because it’s literally THAT good. Very realistic in terms of crime and corruption and things that happen to poor people who can fall under the radar. Even the parts that are unrealistic are easy to love. Heroine is an amazing character really strong and loving. Takes care of herself and tries to take care of those that she loves. The hero and his close friends? I’m obsessed. I’m reading this entire series and I’ll probably by this book in a physical copy, bc omg. (I cannot speak for any Irish culture, slang, Boston references, etc.)
