I did this as an ARC read and I loved it! I was so excited when I got approved to read this! I’ve never read Katee Robert’s work before, but this book was great! This was the second book in the series and I didn’t read the first one so the beginning was a little confusing trying to keep up with what happened then after a few chapters I was caught up. A great enemies to lovers and I enjoyed the ending! I can’t wait to read the next one!

Excellent sequel! I love how Robert gives us a little sneak peek regarding whichever of her characters will be next in line for romance!
This series is like Bridgerton but with organized crime and the spice turned up 2 notches!

Members of rival Irish mobster families, these two got a taste of each other and became hooked. Carrigan tried to fight her attraction to James, but he wasn’t having it. He knew it wasn’t a good idea, but he’s not the one to deny himself the pleasures of life, or at least that wasn’t his usual plan. When his father’s extensive (let’s face it, he’s not getting out) stint in prison thrusts him into the driver’s seat, his upbringing is no match for his inherent good side. He knows what needs to be done, but he’s willing to go only so far.
Carrigan is just as drawn to James as he is to her, but she’s tired of being controlled. When her father demands she picks a groom off a list of men he’s compiled; she knows it’s only a matter of time before she’s permanently shackled to someone she’s not the least bit interested in or even attracted to. What’s a girl to do? Have a little fun while she can, and if she can throw in a little FU to dad by having said fun with the head of the family he loathes (not to mention the man that kidnapped her in The Marriage Contract), then why the hell not? Kill two proverbial birds with one horny stone!
In true Robert’s expert fashion, Carrigan and James are a tad complex, albeit well-developed characters. They generate enough heat to warm a large Irish village through three winters, and the witty repartee is the hottest foreplay. Their bold, straightforward behavior fits their roles, and it’s pure genius how Robert’s allows them to express their feelings without contradicting what is known of their characters. They show their love for each other by not just being together, but by also being aware of how their actions could hurt the other, not to mention the damage their families would do, Carrigan’s in particular. James has his own family drama to deal with, and he somehow manages to keep one eye on that drama while the other remains on his relationship with Carrigan. She reciprocates by showing James how she feels (it’s too dangerous to publicize it) while at the same time attempting to protect him by going along with her father’s wishes. I had no clue how it would all play out – well I knew they’d end up together (that’s the rule), but the way it all unfolded was a total surprise.
