At times it did kind of feel like I was reading a Wattpad novel from 9th grade. I'm not sure if that was due to the writing style or the fact it was a mafia story which tends to be more awkward/cringe for me. Regardless, I still enjoyed the plot and both the main characters and side characters. I particularly liked Rafe and Tor so I'm excited to hopefully see more of their friendship in the next book. The plot-twists were quite predictable IMO.

Slow burn mafia romance. Rory is trying to save her community preserve for her dad by married an old mafia boss. Then his nephew comes into town and sees her on a cliff ledge. They have banter and form a “no touching” relationship since she is due to be married. When Angelo finds out his uncle is not treating her right he decides he must have her. 🥵

Tbh, I expected more from this book. The writing was cringe sometimes and the characters gave me some second-hand embarrassment in some scenes. 

The book was not terrible but definitely on the lower scale of good mafia books.

It’s so hard to find a good mafia romance with characters who don’t become cheesy or overly done. This book delivered. It was a delicious slow burn with amazing tension. Somme’s writing really pulls you in. The imagery was so easy to picture, it really transported you to the scene. 

Angelo was dark perfection. I find that a lot of authors seem to have trouble writing morally grey/dark characters who remain that way throughout the book while also still having good character development. Somme does not seem to have that problem. Angelo remained a ruthless man while still falling in love with Rory. I’m a simp for possessive, protective men (in books) and Angelo fit the bill. 

I loved Rory. Her personality was sweet with a dark edge. She was so innocent but had that darkness in her that responded to Angelo. Also, her bird puns were so unique, I loved them. 

This was an amazing slow burn romance. I only have two complaints. It needs more proofreading for typos (at least the Kindle version) and I’d have loved a bit more spice after all the build up. But neither of these things are enough to reduce the amount of stars. This is one of my top mafia romance reads now.
