dnf at 76%(?). i rounded up and imma just mark this as read. i read the book a couple days ago and i honestly couldn’t tell you what it’s even about.
obviously i’m exaggerating because i’m not illiterate and i did read the book. it just bored the hell out of me. at first i was intrigued but then i took a break and tried to come back to the book but it just wants clicking and i’ve just been bored for the last like 30 pages. which is enough for me to dnf !

ARC received for an honest review
Ballet, mafia - so many books I have read where these two worlds are entwined (though I will admit it is usaually Russian ballerinas and the Bratva that I have come across) so it was different to have the US mob this time.
Cat and Lorenzo's story to me was, how should I say, a little lost? I don't know how else to describe it. Neither of them had any real goal for their future, no plan for what they were doing - but this could just be me?
It did get better about halfway through the book, and things did start to make sense. I was a bit confuzzled the first half of the book about what it wanted to be - did it want to be a mafia book? A dance book? A romance book? There were so many characters introduced that it took a while to get my head around who they were and what they wanted.
Lorenzo though, he was what kept me ploughing through - even though he also confused me at times.
Ugh, it makes it sound like I didn't like this book at all, but that's not how it is. I did enjoy it, there were just a big confuzzled (like my brain!)
I know with so many characters there must be some set up for more books about these people, and I know I will read them in the future.

honestly: there was no relationship building. once again it was all sex. mafia romance? no mafia. enemies to lovers? no enemies. plot? zilch.
this was one of the few reads ive enjoyed so far in 2022.
the whole thing was pretty terrible - it's a guilty pleasure for me. it's really light and nice. it made me smile. the smut was kind of comforting. i pulled an all nighter trying to finish it. i enjoyed it very much.
thank you to arrow for recommending this to me. no regrets.
