3.0

It was okay. Lots of misogyny (believe it or not, you can have mafia romances without misogyny!) and a massive miscommunication trope that just was not my thing, personally.  Having the dual perspective really just highlighted the lack of communication between the MMC and FMC. I’ve enjoyed other books written by this author so thought it was a good call buying the whole series this book is the first of, but I am in no rush to read the rest of them as of now. Three stars because it was the first book Willow Winters wrote and certainly could’ve been worse.

CW: violence, gun violence, kidnapping, death of parent, death of spouse, gambling

This isn't insta-love, but it's really fast. Dom and Becca have instant chemistry and acted on it. They started out intending to use each other, but then feelings got involved. They both have issues with the mafia life and it definitely causes division in their fledgling relationship. I did like how things were brought to a close. I did find Dom cute as he tried to explore his feelings and figure out how to share them with Becca. They both had problems expressing their feelings.
