Thank you NetGalley & Atria/Emily Bestler books for providing me with his arc. Unfortunately, I can not leave a great review. I was unable to finish this book due to the poor writing and story line. Sadly, this book is a definite flop for me and contained no soul or storyline that makes sense. I found the story repetitive and played out

Este libro es el que más discordia a causado entre l@s lectores por su final tan inesperado.
Tengo que decir que a mi también al principio me confundio bastante todo lo que sucedió pero después de pensarlo bien creo que fue un final aceptable, el hecho de que Laura ahora pudo decidir su futuro, lo que quería y cómo quería hacerlo me pareció muy bueno y de verdad que tengo ganas de ver mucho este libro en película, creo que los actores harán un super buen trabajo con esta historia tan dramática. 2.5

Holy crap! What a whirlwind of a ride, but I am here for it. Laura and Massimo's relationship is in turmoil after the events that left Laura fighting to survive the attack. What will happen in the next 365 days?
While I find the actor that plays Massimo attractive, the character is a terrible person. I've said it from the first book review...what Laura and Massimo have is NOT LOVE! Laura slowly sees his true colors after spending time in book two with Nacho, the head of a rival mob family, who treats her like a fucking queen! This is my favorite book of the series so far because of Nacho! There are a couple things I could have done without, but I enjoyed seeing Nacho and Laura's relationship bloom.
Loved the author's note at the end explaining the moral of the story. "All that glitters is not gold, and money and the appearance of happiness do not make."
Thank you to Netgalley and Atria Books for giving me a digital ARC of this book in exchange for a honest review.

We pick up where Laura is in the hospital with a new heart and losing her baby. Massimo turns to a bad guy and starts doing coke and becomes a huge alcoholic. Laura just feels like she is all alone and she also feels like Massimo is just using her as a whore. She ends up leaving and going to a fashion show for her company where she runs back in to Nacho and hangs out and realizes she does love him. We get back and see Massimo is cleaning up and we fall back with him and then Laura calls him Nacho, which was a huge mistake. She gets away and returns to Nacho. What happens when mafia wedding and she has to be the MOH? What happens when Massimo goes off the deep end?
This book was intense. There are so many trigger warning in this book yet nothing is listed. It was a wild ride. I was shocked of the things that happened. I was also shocked how fast we went to hate Massimo after falling in love with him for 2 books. I was kinda upset cause of this, we are meant to fall for him and then hate him. I suppose this is how we feel about our ex's. It was a fine book I was just kinda pissed with how much we fall for Massimo, yet it falls apart in less than 70% of a book.
