Loren is the perfect alphahole hero ♥️

I love a good alphahole hero and Loren is damn near perfect. I only wish we got more POVs from him. This book it’s a great start into this world and I can’t wait to see what the author does with it. If you love mafia/dark/a little forbidden/small age gap romances, this book is for you.
The only complaint I really have with books is the groveling is never enough. And while this book did a great job at redeeming Loren and making, not only Cat(FMC) forgive him but the reader as well. I still wanted the groveling to be on par with the disrespect. But Cat was weak for Loren pretty quickly in the book, so I knew it was not going to happen.

Overall: 4/5⭐️
Spice: 2/5

It hurts my heart to say I didn’t love this book. I liked it but it didn’t blow me away and make me swoon and sigh like Claire’s other books. I even tried to re-read it to see if I missed something - missed the spark that would ignite my love for Lorenzo and Catalina.

The writing style is fine. I’m not put off my mafia style books. I’m ok with insta lust. I think it was because I didn’t understand the vibe between Loren and Cat and how their pasts were linked. A character who is portrayed as evil gets redemption. Plot bombs are exploded everywhere but they seem a bit left field.

This was sooo good !!
It's my first romance novel, and I'm so glad I picked this one up. It had the perfect balance of romance and action. Sure, the main character, Catalina, was always crying, but, I mean, people have flaws.

Romance: 4 stars (Loren and Catalina could have had a deep conversation to, like show their trust in each other, but overall, it was nice)
Plot: 5 stars
Catalina: 4 stars
Loren: 4.5 stars (I mean... he is no Percy Jackson, but he's good)
Writing: 5 stars (wowowow!)

I really recommend this book!
