J.T. Geissinger kept the best for last 👏🏽
We finally get Spider's story and I was hoping he would get justice from the way he was treated in the previous book. And boy, the author had quite the heroine planned for him 🤭
Spider is now the second in command in the Irish Mob. His elevated status opens doors for him, including an arranged marriage with a family in the Italian Mafia. Spider's marriage may have been arranged with a young woman in the Cosa Nostra, but the man cannot keep his eyes off his betrothed's overprotective aunt.
After her husband died under mysterious circumstances, Reyna gained the reputation of a Black Widow. She survived years of abuse from her husband and it has made her fierce and angry. Men tremble in fear before her. She uses her sharp tongue, a hidden knife, and guns to take out her enemies. And Spider is gone for her in the most unhinged way. As he should 😌 He's not scared of her and he gives as good as he gets. Suffice to say that Reyna is supremely annoyed at Spider's cockiness and lack of fear.
OMG the build up of tension and chemistry is extra delicious in this book 🤤 I was dying for these two to finally get it on. I was also dying to find out just how they would get together, since Spider's marriage had already been arranged with Reyna's niece. And let's just say, the actual wedding itself is the most epic thing ever. It's right up there with the wedding from Brutal Prince 😌
I'm so glad the author finally decided to give us a glimpse into the Italian Mafia. Listen, I love the Russian Bratva and the Irish Mob. But there's nothing quite like the old school Italian Mafia. They have a flair for the dramatic unlike the other mobsters. Their old fashioned ways elevate the drama and I honestly love it so much 🤣
I love the way the author concluded the series! Spider and Reyna are hands down my favourite!

I loved the chemistry and how they worship the ground the other walks on, even if I would have gone mad in their place with the hot and cold in the beginning. However, I gotta be honest, I just cannot completely overlook his behavior towards Riley at the end of the last book
Dang, that was hot! Spider and Reyna had an explosive, enemies to lovers relationship. The sparks flew and it was pretty fantastic to watch. I've got a total girl crush on Reyna. That woman demanded respect and got it. I love, love how things turned out in the end. I was hoping, I had my fingers crossed, and I'm really glad it happened. That's all I'm going to say about that. I'm really sad to see this series end. I feel like it's been the most addictive series this author has written. Maybe we will get another fantastic spinoff to give us more of this mafia vibe. Either way, I will be reading this series multiple times because I just don't think these characters well ever get old.

6 stars. I was totally blown away by this. I don't think I missed much because this is the first book of this series I've read, but I feel like when I go back and read the other books (which I'm totally going to do btw) I'll have a more complete picture of Spider because he and his Viper completely knocked my socks off. I could barely put this down because I was hooked on it. The banter between Spider and Reyna was incredible and they really disliked each other. And I honestly loved every moment of this. I volunteered to read and review an early copy of this. All opinions are my own.
