Its the same formula for this author books over and over again with some trauma sprinkled in for shock value.
-None of the troops we thought we would get were In this. (No grumpy/sunshine, no mafia (2 scenes?). Idk what troop this would qualify as)
-Sam was probably one of the most boring 'mafia' characters. There has been build up of him being 'king of the underworld', but he ran a nightclub where sexist men gambled.

I love a good second chance. Two people pining after each other for years and years, sign me TF up. Shen does a great job with unrequited love and tension between characters. I’ve had a lot of fun making my way through the Boston Belles series so far! Aisling has had it for Sam bad, and for years. She’s done everything she can to open the door, but Sam just keeps shutting her down. He’s Boston’s Enforcer, so he’s dangerous and mean and doesn’t care about anyone. He doesn’t allow himself to.
Sam has a dangerous job, there are mafia men always looking for him to settle some score. He’s kept everyone close to him at arm’s length; he doesn’t allow anyone to his apartment, he doesn’t date anyone long term, and he shuts off his emotions when it comes to one woman he won’t allow himself to ruin. He won’t allow anyone to get in between his money and if he makes a move on Aisling, he sacrifices his job. Finally, after years of trying, Aisling finally has Sam’s attention.
Highlights:
📌 Dark Romance
📌 OTTP MMC
📌 Good Girl x Bad Boy
📌 Unrequited Love
📌 Light Groveling
📌Second Chance

Did I enjoy this book? Totally! It’s my least favourite in the series this far though. There is a looooooottttt of toxic stuff going on here, lol. I know they all do but this one felt a little extra to me. I listened on audible and the narrators were awesome, Savanna Peachwood and Jacob Morgan, so good.
Honestly I got about 80% of the way through this book before I began to feel anything at all. The main reason I kept reading was because I loved the tie-in with Sparrow. Really disappointed with this.
The main reason I didn’t like it is that Sam went out of his way to be cruel and hurtful to Aisling in so many ways for actual years. And that was the majority of the book. It was just hard to read.
