I’m torn about how I feel because on one hand I did enjoy the story and chemistry but on the other hand it felt a bit too saccharine for the subject matter.

Enzo being autistic is explicitly stated. He’s mainly got the OCD flavor of it, but it was nice to see other symptoms of autism with him, including overstimulation and nonverbal meltdown. Admittedly this has made me crave seeing the positive aspects to autism too, but beggars can’t be choosers.

I wish Enzo’s domination of Tex was more thorough. It felt almost vanilla how their dynamic mellowed out the longer they were together.

Other, more minor issues I had:

- For someone like Tex, who has secret cameras in his apartment, he’s not paranoid at all about cameras in Enzo’s apartment.

- Enzo has a thing about not letting people sleep on his couch, but he has a whole ass guest room. Why do Tex or Gin even consider the couch? Hell if I know.

- One would consider that Gin would eventually come by Enzo’s apartment and discover that Tex lives there now. Terrible way to keep a secret relationship.

Anyway I know I’m mostly nagging. This story was dark but also not at the same time. Sex scenes were hot. Good romp.

The Vitale brothers are famous, and now I understand why. There really is a lot of madness in this family.

In this book we have the story of the youngest of them, Enzo, who becomes completely obsessed with Tex, the cop who is trying to make detective by arresting the whole family.

The chemistry between them is instant and the sense of ownership they have for each other is almost as instant. This book is a huge red flag! Nevertheless, a beautiful relationship is established between them, which even has its tender undertones.

The story is quite explicit in its violence, but the authors manage to make it an easy read thanks to the humor in the dialogues between the characters.

A super addictive book that leaves you wanting more.
