This is my first read from KM Mixon and it definitely isn't my last (I read The Love Wager and I'm almost finished with Enforcer from this series as well!).
I was unsure going into this book, but the FMC struggling to pay student loans... yeah, I can relate. Personally, I couldn't hack it on a survivor show but kudos to Brynne for doing that and then meeting Slate. The whole premise for this mafia romance (FMC goes on survivor type show to pay student loans and ends up on mafia MMC's property by accident) was fresh and done really well by Mixon.
And the chemistry... holy s**t. It's hot and it grabs you by the throat. I know other reviews have stated there's a lot of "daddy" used but for the dynamic between MCs, it works for them and doesn't feel out of place.
It was dark, gritty, and romantic from the get-go. Mixon only amps that up throughout the book to the very end. I've already reread this in order to read Enforcer and it held up for me just as well the second time!

She’s accepted to a wilderness survival tv show called Stranded. What she doesn’t know is she’s landed straight into Slate’s land!
Even though Slate is literally wanting to murder her, his caring Daddy dom side just melts me! The words that man speaks😮💨
Ahh the spicy scene just hit next level!! When she says “you look beautiful when you come” to HIM!! Ahhh I was goneeee🫠
Slate is the underboss of the Ricci mafia and he’s ran from it and secluded himself in the middle of nowhere but The mafia want him back.
The fucking plot twist ruined me wtaf but the ending was way too wholesome I can’t wait for Dante & Alyssa’s story.
I liked it. I hate the use of Daddy. I can handle the darkest of the dark but Daddy gives me the ick.

Ok, to be honest, I would easily give this book a 5-star review if there had been less of "daddy" mentioned in it. I just LOLed every time, and it kinda made the book less enjoyable. I felt like I was in the comedy club, not in some kind of dark setting of a dark romance novel. Also, I wouldn't mind if there were more dark elements in the book; at this point, I feel like mafia romance is a better description.
Nevertheless, I find the story entertaining and the two main characters rather engaging. I loved the plot twist and especially how FMC rebuilt herself after the whole ordeal. I loved the secondary characters and the sneak peek into their developing love stories.
