Mafia Romance

First person

Dual POV

Bodyguard romance

Forced proximity

This book follows a different child in the mafia family and jumps straight into the action. A always appreciate that the previous book give a decent amount of set up for whoever is the focus of the next book all while also giving cameos of the ones earlier in the series.

This book was really fast paced like all of the books in the series so far. I will say though, this book wasn't my most favorite but it wasn't my least favorite either. I usually love and fall over the bodyguard trope but this didn't really do much for me.  Riona was the grumpy. She the stereotypical "ice queen" that some books have but still a very strong character nonetheless. Raylan was the sunshine and pretty likable. They were good separately but not together in my opinion. My thing is that I didn't get the chemistry between them at all. Sure the spice was good but that's about it. They were too opposite to me. The whole "she respects him and lets him dominate her then she falls in love with him because he's so different compared to every other man she's been with" thing didn't seem right in this. The epilogue seemed so unrealistic to me bc??? I loved reading about the characters from the other books. Despite all of my criticism it was still a decent read.

Riona is an extremely good character, but I feel this book didn't do her justice. Too much of this book concentrated it self around Raylans family, and I really didn't care about them at all 🥲 Love Raylan tho.

I'm looking forward to the series finally with Sebastian!

This book felt a little out of place in the series, I think it was due to the setting. That said, I did enjoy it. It is a mafia & bodyguard romance mixed with a small town romance feel. 

Riona is the middle child of head of the Irish Mafia in Chicago. She is strong, stubborn, and smart. She is the family's lawyer and keeps her hand relatively clean. One evening she is attacked in the swimming pool in her apartment building, someone tried to drown her and make it look like an accident. someone has hired a Hitman to kill her. Dante arranges for Raylan to be her bodyguard. To keep her safe Raylan brings her to his family's Ranch in Tennessee. 

I really enjoyed the chemistry between Riona and Raylan. Their personalities play off of each other really well and he really helped her to discover what she wanted. I also loved seeing more glimpses of the other siblings and the Gallos (especially the wedding!). 

Unfortunately, I did see the big twist coming pretty early in the book, so I wasn't surprised when the culprit behind hiring the hitman was revealed.

That barn scene tho...🌶️

Tropes: Reverse grumpy-sunshine, mafia, bodyguard, small town
