Mafia possessiveness at its finest!

This was my first dive into mafia romance and OMG, Morgan did NOT disappoint! The “Touch her and die” is now literally my favorite trope - I’m hooked!

The subplot was a great angle and added a lot of suspense. There was a chapter that left me SHOOK! You’ll know when you get to it, trust me! All I will say is that Simone handles hers and is bad ass!

The intense chemistry between Simone, the FMC, and Baylor, the MMC is SO good and made the spice sizzling hot! Add Baylor’s unwavering love & devotion to Simone and he is now officially my new “book boyfriend”.

While this isn’t the type of book I typically read, I can honestly say I enjoyed it so much and I couldn’t put it down! I will definitely be reading more mafia romances in the very near future.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Well…it’s safe to say I was OBSESSED with this book.

**SMALL SPOILER ALERT**

I haven’t gotten the chance to read the first book of the series yet so I was a bit afraid that I might be missing on some important points, but luckily that wasn’t the case.

From the beginning I was intrigued by Simone and Balor’s past and future and I was eager to learn their story. The character development was amazing. And can we talk about those spicy scenes? Okay, there weren't as many as my scandalous soul usually demands, but guess what? It worked! Less spice, more substance—like a perfectly seasoned dish.

Now, let's talk about our leading man, Mr. Balor. He's possessive, morally grey, alpha-male material. Oh, did I mention he's a virgin? I know, it's like finding a unicorn in a field of horses. He's saving himself for Simone, and excuse me while I swoon uncontrollably.
