Carrigan being a capricorn makes so much sense. If that was intentional, it was a good choice. I related to her a lot as a fellow stubborn earth sign and because I, too, would let James Halloran ruin my life. 😩
I think the pet name he chooses for her is too cutesy for his character, I also thought there were a few things that he and Carrigan said that made me cringe a little, but honestly just being a little nit picky there lol
This book had me laughing, crying and gnawing at the bars of my enclosure.
Check the TWs for this one though, some parts are pretty heavy!!

Firstly, I am confused by the changing titles and numbering of this series. I thought this was the first book in the series but seems like I got that wrong and I am sure the author has a reason behind it, but it def makes it confusing. Thankfully there was enough shared from the actual first book that I didn't feel too confused on the whole drama, but I do feel like I would have understood and maybe even liked this book more had I read the first one beforehand.
Overall, as with many mafia romances, this was a rollercoaster of emotions. James and Carrigan are not only head over heels for each other but outside of the intense attraction and desire they have, it's clear they both accept the other for the true person they are. I enjoyed reading how they both evolved a bit by being with one another and ultimately supporting one another.
The ending was rushed in my opinion and maybe because this is a series their story continues but there was a lot that happened there in the end that could certainly have been expanded on further.

The first book was too dark for me, but I got invested fast. This one is fixing up to be darker and far too emotionally turbulent. I hate nothing more than someone being trapped without a choice in their life. Unfortunately, both love interests of this book are trapped without choices about their future.
