I absolutely loved this book. This was a true enemies to lovers book with them literally trying to kill each other towards the start.  

 

The only reason it’s not a 5 star for me is their connection did feel a little rushed. It kind of felt like they went from hating each other to being in love without much emotional building. But other than that, this book was amazing and i’m so keen to get Nessas book now.

This was a pretty typical mafia novel.  After sneaking into a party and starting a fire in the Griffin's house, Aida is told she will be marrying Callum. They are from warring families, but their marriage forms a strong alliance for the two families. The only problem is .... They hate each other. 

I really loved Aida. I liked her character's growth. She ended up being pretty strong and badass. 

I wish that the plot was a little more flushed out. I thought the whole plot line with Oliver was kind of pointless and the big final scene should have been against the Polish Mafia. I also found that the enemies to lovers was way too fast. One minute they hate each other, the next... Well the shower scene.

Tropes: Enemies to lovers, arranged marriage, mafia

The big evil guys death felt rushed. I hated Oliver guy was clinically insane. Imogene and the rest of the family had big roles in the beginning but then they kinda dissipated into like grains of salt here and there kinda forgot they existed. The first half is definitely worth it but toward the end I was kinda like hmmm not great. Overall if you want enemies to lovers go for it but as far as strong plot through and through I wouldn’t recommend.
