Oouuuffff! This book had me HOOKED! Loved the narrators…especially the MMC narrator! Damn that sexy bravado and panty dropping growl 🥵🥵🥵. This is a great mafia romance with a ton of banter between the FMC and MMC. I loved the FMC and her sassy, no bullshit attitude. And I love her dog. Also, the dialogue between the FMC and her bff is my favorite. Their friendship is the definition of Ride or Die. 

Obviously this has a very much “touch her and ☠️” vibes- between all parties honestly lol. My only hiccup was that the MMC didn’t seem as Russian mobster as I would have expected (but what the hell do I know). And there were sometimes I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at the FMC. 

Regardless, this story was so hot! I’m so glad there are more books in these series 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Cringey but still a quick and fun read. I felt that the FMC and MMC  fell for each other pretty quickly and there was no depth to their relationship, probably why it was cringey. Not cringey enough that I don’t want to read the next book in the series though, which I’m currently doing 🤪

I was a bit skeptical at first - I’m not usually a mafia Romance/ dark romance reader and I was lulled into thinking that a suspiciously highly rated dark romance book was good before but was utter crap, but I actually enjoyed this one.

The writing was surprisingly engaging and interesting and while yes - they did have a ton of spicy time in this book - there was still some plot to the story as well.

I’m going to check out the next in the series.

Wasn’t what I was expecting but the big mystery is so good I kept reading. Only rating this low because they do the nasty like…basically the entire second half of the book.

A great potato chip book! I was immediately hooked and it was surprisingly touching on grief? The mystery isn’t super complex but that’s not what I read for so I didn’t mind, and Kage and Nat are cute and hot together!
