Liam almost immediately falls in love with Kiara and honestly, I wasn't a fan of that. I get that he didn't like to be touched by anyone, except by her, but c'mon. Overall, it was a great book, and I would recommend it to anyone.

This was not at all what I was expecting. I was expecting a slow-burn mafia romance. Instead, I got an instalove cringefest. I guessed the initial plot twist almost immediately. Kiara and Liam's relationship felt artificial from the start. From day one, he was obsessed with her, and he changed his personality overnight.
The depiction of Kiara's trauma was superficial. Similar to Liam, it seemed like she overcame her demons overnight. Once, Kiara and Liam got together, the book became mostly smut. Outside of that, there was little development of their relationship. This book was a huge waste of time, and I honestly wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It was so bad that I might take a break from mafia romance for a while.

Michelle Heard has done it again! Another wonderful Mafia romance where the Mafia Boss is dangerous and lethal to others but with the heroine is a big marshmallow. Incredibly romantic and more angsty than the first one, this story captivates and enthralls. I loved, loved, how Liamās eyes are cold and stark when they look at others, but kind and warm when he looks at Kiara; his voice sounds hard with others but with her itās tender and loving. An he looks like Charlie Hunnam!! Thud went my heart when I read this!
Kiara is the daughter of Jimmy Flanagan, who belongs to the Irish Mafia in Chicago. He never married her mother and kept them both hidden from the Mafia to protect them. But what he didnāt account for is Kiaraās ambitions, which led her to apply to a well-paying job in Byrne Industries, right in the heart of the Familia. Liam Byrne is the Mafia Don and the owner of Byrne Industries.
The part I liked best in the story is that Liam couldnāt stand being touched and yet, when Kiara stumbled against him, exiting from an elevator, her touch didnāt bother him at all! This started the intrigue and the attention to this lovely new employee. And it also led to some very yummy steamy scenes!
The story has such angsty parts that it made me cry, and itās also wonderfully suspenseful. As with the previous book, the first part twists your heart with the sense of danger to Kiara, then it turns incredibly romantic but still with suspense because the fight against enemies is still on. I loved that Nikolas Stathoulis appears again with the other members of the Priesthood. Itās great that weāre meeting the future men who will fall victim to love!
Incredibly entertaining and romantic, I read the epilogue a lot of times, I loved the family scenes. And now I canāt wait for the next victim, er Mafia man to fall in love!
