4.5

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.

I really liked it; however, at times it was kind of corny in terms of the dialogue and I felt like the ending was extremely rushed.  I just wish the book was a little bit longer so we could've spent some extra time with them after the fire. Otherwise, I really enjoyed it and I liked it a lot more than the other Sophie Lark book I have read "There Are No Saints Here".

Trust is rarer than love. It’s putting your fate, your happiness, your life in someone’s hands. Hoping they keep it safe.

This is my first Sophie Lark book, and honestly? I liked it. Her writing was good. She knows how to write real enemies to lovers romance (and not just other romance books who consider being irritated with each other "enemies to lovers"). 

I liked the dynamics of the Gallo family. I liked the banter between Cal and Aida. I liked that her characters are diverse. Both the romance and the smut were good. 

I can't wait to read the rest of the series and her other books.

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
