I read this book in the hopes of liking it more than the first one. But no, I was really disappointed. Laura is one of the most unlikable characters I have ever read. I get that she is pregnant and pregnancy hormones are no joke. But she used the pregnancy as an excuse to act childish and be horrible.

Much like with the first book I struggled with this one as well. This book like the prior one had a lot of steamy scenes. But there was no actual story. This book left me with just as many questions as I had going in. The writer doesn’t seem to be able to follow threw and complete stories, she left me with a sense that something just wasn’t right. I wish she would have explored more about his business.

I know that there is going to be a 3rd book. But I can tell you that I will not be reading it. The writing is awful, and I really hope that the stilted writing is because of the translation. But since this is the second book, I am not thinking that is the case.

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

While the first one was fun-ish, this one bored me to death. Too much sex just for the sake of it that became really boring that I begged for something else to happen and very little plot, and the bit that was was kind off ridiculous.

The saga of Laura and Massimo continues but do not think that you will get a HEA in the end. Once again this second story in the series has everything a romance reader enjoys - hot steamy scenes, power struggles and a love that seems to be able to overcome everything. But yet the readers are thrown for a loop with new characters, more drama and loads of mafia interactions. Will the marriage last through it all? Or will once again the world be out to get them? Hold onto your hats with the ending - you will need the next book in the series ASAP!! Completely enjoyable and entertaining!! No sophomore jinx with this series.

Again, this book was so bad…but that’s what made it good. It had all of the cliches and tropes I love and the ones I hate. Your basic fan fiction/spin off (like 50 Shades or After)
