This was so much more than I expected. Sienna has just gotten out of a toxic relationship after she caught him cheating. When he doesn't leave her alone after she learns that he's not at all what he seemed. Going out with her best friend and roommate is exactly what she needs. When she bumps into Keller Russo, quite literally, her entire life changes forever.
Keller is a heavyweight boxer, a lifeline from brutal street fighting, and is working his best to exit the Mafia world. When he meets Sienna, he has no clue what to do, because he has never felt this for anyone before. He can't stop thinking about her or stay away from her, and it scares the hell out of him.
As they keep finding ways to be around one another, her ex escalates in his interactions, and the fight isn't just in the ring anymore.

3.5 ⭐️! The plot to this book was engaging and I definitely wasn’t bored while reading. The main character dialogue was just super cringey and the third act breakup lasted sooo long for no reason.
DNF at like 65% .. how I got that far I’m not sure I want some DISTANCE.. (get it

it didn’t live up to my expectations. The plot felt pretty thin — mostly just the main woman and man meeting, feeling an instant attraction, and then a nonstop stream of spicy scenes 🥵. Honestly, it got a bit cringey at times, and I found myself needing breaks from the reading.
With themes like mafia and boxing, I felt like there was so much untapped potential for a gripping story, but it ended up focusing mostly on the physical side of the relationship instead of developing the plot or characters.

This book is a 5 Spice rating. Captured my attention really quick. The storyline is real good but predictable which I think it’s pretty much all romance book. It had the right amount of romance/sap for me. hahaha I enjoyed reading this book. It was well written and will read more from Luna Mason.
⭐️: 4/5

Story Vibes:
Oh oh oh! This book absolutely hit all the vibes! It had mafia, it had MMA fighter, it had stalker ex boyfriend, and there is 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙮. The plot line, the characters, the 𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙘𝙚, all vibed in the best way possible!!!!!
Overall Vibes
I definitely didn't want this one to end. I fell hard and fast for both Sienna and Keller. These characters absolutely belonged together, if you ask me! The way Keller tried hard to resist the temptation that was Sienna by distancing himself.....the way Sienna made him melt for her......it was *chef's kiss*! And the spice was 𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙜! Keller had an absolutely dirty mouth and I swooned! If you love books that have amazing plot, perfect spice, dirty mouthed MMC's and all the best side characters, don't miss this one. It's the perfect blend of mafia + fighter romance, filled with all the angst of push and pull between the characters. I can not wait for the next one!

Eh, I don’t usually give out 3 stars but it was good & spicy HOWEVER there were some plot holes & just overall flaws that the author didn’t catch. It was a quick good read though
