1.0

Sloan is hired to kill Ivan, but is caught by him and taken as his prisoner. 

I honestly don't even know where to start with this one. This is my least favourite Sophie Lark book. She tries to kill him, then like 2 days later he forgives her and they are in love. Their entire relationship goes from I'm going to kill you to let's f*** to I love you in a matter of days. Makes zero sense. 

At the start, Sloan was made out to be this badass assassin.  She could have been such an interesting character, instead the men are just "too strong" for her to take on and she just submits to Ivan. This whole book makes zero sense. 

Tropes: mafia, enemies to lovers, instalove

4.5

CW: Torture, gun violence, violence, kidnapping, woman in peril, graphic sexual content

⭐ Mafia
⭐ Captor/captive
⭐ Assassin/target

🌶️ Blindfolding
🌶️ Impact play

I've never wished a book had been longer so much in my life. Honestly, I could've easily read another 100-200 pages worth of these two. 

There's just something about two alpha type characters ending up together with the tension and the fight for control that I just lap up every single time...
