I went into this book thinking I’d get a mafia romance. I didn’t get that. I thought I’d get a billionaire romance where the fmc gets showered in gifts and swept into opulence. I didn’t get that. Then I thought I’d get a cute swindling romance. I didn’t get that. What did I get? Nothing but disappointment!
This book was just the mmc getting constant boners and teasing but not actually doing anything. I didn’t really feel the spice once they actually did because the teasing was so overdone.
I hate when mc’s claim to have conviction and then don’t stick to it at all. Like Teresa seemed like she was only trying to save her brother because she had to not because she loved him and wanted him to be free. Like she rarely thought about him throughout this whole book despite him being her entire motivation for doing what she was doing. And she claimed she didn’t want to use her body but did just that. Like I get lust but do you want to save your brother or not!
I also thought it was a red flag that he literally destroyed her place of work so she had nowhere to go back to.
And all that whining about the dog for literally nothing to be wrong with him

All Teresa wants is to save her brother but while doing so runs into someone(a guy named Will) who she didn’t want/ mean to fall for but fate had other ideas. Nice suspenseful read.

Good book
This is the first Tessa Bailey books I’ve read as a recommendation from one of my favorite authors. It was a good book. Will has a filthy mouth that I absolutely loved. Theresa was very motherly and just wanted to keep her brother safe. I loved how Will pushed who to be who she wanted to be and she trusted him to help show her who she was. I did skim a little bit while wishing other portions of the book had more meat. Overall I would definitely recommend this book - especially if you like hot sexy times!

Great story line. I’m glad the fight wasn’t huge! Everything was just right. And I’m glad southpaws destiny was wrong I was bracing myself the whole time for it!

Okay, so Twin got me to read this book with her. Unlike the last book she had me dive into, no one was annoying in this one. So it's a holiday miracle that she is back in her groove of recommending entertaining books.
Follow will introduce you to Teresa and Will. She is a 23 year old who constantly looks out for her baby brother. It doesn't help that he somehow always finds trouble, like it's his job, but she protects him anyways. Then there's Will, who is trying to give his dog the best few days of his life before his time runs out. Little do they know that fate will intervene.
Fate meaning Nicky, Teresa's little brother, got into deep shit with Silas, a douche canoe who is in the mafia/mob/whatever, and has to somehow convince Will, Silas son (unfortunately), do give up this dog adventure and to come back to NY to work and shit.
Fate is a bitch, just saying.
Not going to lie, I knew there was going to be some drama throughout this book so I wasn't really surprised with what went down. I'm also not going to stray away from my love for these two. They had a spark that ignited pretty quickly and I just loved them loving one another. Even if it was a bit insta-y for my taste. The smut was good and that's what got the pages turning.
In the end, I'm happy with what went down. Definitely a quick read.
