This book was so fast paced and I flew through it! I can’t wait to see the other sisters get their own stories and I’m about to binge the rest of the series.
However, this book has the cheating trope!! It would have been 5⭐️ otherwise… but I hated the cheating and I hated how they talked about the girl after it.

Sex, violence, moral ambiguity
I loved it. 
I figured they would’ve come to a stage of obvious emotional affection a lot sooner than they did, but I’m a sucker for a slow burn. I was waiting for more playfulness like in the scene at the gym but mafias are usually more dark so it doesn’t bug me as much as it usually would, but that scene came so naturally it was hard not to want more of that dynamic, can’t wait to see if the other books provide that

This book man... good amount of spice, the main character is extremly sexy but the plot was lacking. Left me wanting more!

4/5 spice lots of scenes that are well written. This book would have been a 4.5/5 stars if I had stopped before the last few chapters. I really liked their growth together and how they pushed each other. 
Then he sees no problem with not informing her weeks ago that her little sister was sold into a marriage. Also the big ending is I actually love you I don’t just want to Fuck you.
So yup ends on a fairly big Cliff hanger and not a great ending overall.

I enjoyed this book, but I don't think I'll continue the series. There were just too many icky moments for me. 1st - the main character is 15 when this starts and all the girls are sexualized and it's mad creepy. Even when she's 18 it's still kinda creepy. 2nd - the idea that all virgins bleed or that a tampon can break your hymen. That's just false and really gives "written by a man" vibes. 3rd - their first sex scene is horrible. The girl doesn't enjoy it at all and the guy doesn't care?!? This is a ROMANCE book, and that's not giving me romantic vibes. 
These were all choices that didn't have to be part of the book, but the writer chose to put them in and I just don't think I liked the characters enough to put up with more of that BS
