Review
Salvatore Ajello arranges Sienna’s marriage to spy on Drago and his organisation. But of course, these two are catching feelings for each other. 

Drago was great, I loved how he never made fun of Sienna’s ridiculous taste in clothes but even made sure she got what she wanted. 

Yes, I’m completely fascinated with my sparkling wife, and I’ll be damned if I know why. She’s too young, eccentric, constantly smiling, and sunny to a disturbing level.

The banter between the two was fantastic. And despite the front Sienna’s been putting on, I loved that Drago saw straight through it. Personally, I would have preferred that Sienna had opened up and allowed and admitted his feelings for Drago sooner, but I understand where she was coming from. 

The new side characters from Drago’s organisation were fun and a great addition to the story.

I lied again. I am officially in conflict with my feelings for Salvatore and Drogo. Drogo the man that you are

Such complex characters in each book. We have Sienna who appears to be all sunshine and rainbows but actually really needed someone to care for her and let her feel her feelings instead of letting her bottle them up. And she ends up with such an amazing family. All the best found family vibes.
