Overall, I liked this book and I will give the others in the series a chance. But personally, there wasn't enough suspense and tension that comes with the territory of mafia anything, let alone the higher stakes of romance. It doesn't have to be a copious amount, but enough for me as the reader to believe this Devil means business beyond a couple of low stakes (for him) encounters with creeps regarding his wife, since I kind of felt like I was reading an abridged version of the story. Ava was also fairly unlikable, I kept feeling frustrated about her continuing to be obtuse about Link's intentions and affections. But it's fine, I'm still willing to explore the rest of this world.

The plot was barely there and the issues between the main characters was never clearly spelt out. Pride is what got me to the end of the book. Spice was ok ig though

It started off strong and then three chapters in crashed and burned. I got through it because I could but oh my god I didn’t want to
