This is easily one of the best mafia romances I have ever read purely based on the witty banter. It was absolutely hilarious! The only reason I’m not giving this book a full 5 stars is because I found the

pregnancy scare and argument over a woman’s right to choose

to be ridiculous and infuriating.

The banter in this one was pretty good. Sloan was a smart ass but actually showed the wit to back it up; we aren’t just told that she’s sassy, we get to see plenty of it, and it’s quality writing. 

After reading the first two in this series and the synopsis of the next book, I’m expecting every book to include kidnapping and lots of spanking. This one had too much “yes, sir” from Sloan, who in the audiobook just sounded sarcastic anyway. 

TW/CW: brief mentions of 

past rape, child abuse by fat shaming, self harm, suicidal thoughts, and death of parent by cancer.

The banter between Sloane and Declan is so goddamn funny. And of course the spice is everything. I loved the evolution of their story, and how they were each able to heal themselves and each other. Sloane is one of my alllllll time fav FMCs.

🔥😅🔥😅🔥 this was such a good read and a step up from the first one!
First off, the banter between Declan and Sloane is *chefs kiss* and the way that they fight it so hard. I can’t get over the “you’re like cancer. But less fun” line😂

This series is honestly so much better than I was expecting. And while the first isn’t my favorite and it’s not necessary to read this one, it’s definitely best to start there to understand the back story that’s building throughout.

I love Sloane. I was laughing out loud at some parts of this. The middle was a little slow again and I wished we got more of Declan’s past. The author suggested switching over to the Beautifully Cruel series before continuing with this one, so that is my plan.
