Type of read: Commuter/Daily Read.
What made me pick it up: I had read 'Lights Out' and enjoyed it enough that when 'Caught Up' popped up in the available Spotify books, it seemed like a logical next choice.
Overall rating: I really enjoyed 'Caught Up.' It's definitely a slightly different vibe than 'Lights Out,' but the worlds come together and everything is cohesive. I'm glad that they aren't so similar because then it doesn't feel like you're reading the same book. I don't think it's anything spectacular, but it was absolutely perfect for what I needed in a book at this time. Easy. A bit smutty. Still some plot. Interweaves with others in the series but isn't reliant on them. Overall, a good read.
Reader's Note: Trigger warnings (from Google): graphic sexual content, mentions of past abuse (including sexual and domestic), discussions of mental health, and some scenes involving blood and gore. The book also contains themes of stalking, Catholic guilt, kink negotiation, and mafia-related violence.

I loved Nico and Lo. They were a fantastic couple, and I loved their history and chemistry. Their kink exploratio and safe space was amazing to read about. Nonna coming in as a hot favorite, I wanna be her when I grow up. Loved all the side characters and the journey. Can't wait for book 3!

I def liked the first book more and wasn’t planning on reading this until I started HRCYED. So I already came in with reservations.
It’s mafia, miscommunication, battling stigmas while getting upset, little to no past character chemistry or current chemistry.
Don’t get me wrong, stand up against the stigmas but home girl could have gone to get a masters or doctorate in psychology with the amount of money she was making. Like to say she’s only using her degree to connect more with her subscribers was just wierd to me…like go get an mba. She literally does not need to work normal work hours.
I did not like the FMC. At all.
The MMC was slightly better but he still irked me to no end. Like he could have written instead of pining for no reason for 10+ years. Like idk I felt zero emotional chemistry, connection. There was no past reason for them to have such strong feelings other than the physical.
Just not for me.
