I loved Sloane’s dream of opening a body positive, safe space for young girls. I can also 100% relate to all the experiences and feeling she had growing up as a fat person but the constant comments about the “unhealthy” food ruined those great moments for me. The only time food was mentioned in this book it was immediately categorized as “healthy” or “unhealthy” not only can that be triggering for people with eating disorders it’s just unnecessary. It’s a 300 page mafia romance let’s spend that word count on something else.
Declan’s pro-life hypocrisy was also a big side-eye. I appreciate that Sloane immediately calls him out on it but when you literally spend the book beheading people for doing the same job you do- criminally offensive side eye.

I love Sloan so much. She is strong, badass, and so funny. She is often brushed off as being a bimbo and dumb because of the way she looks, be she is incredibly smart. She is able to charm every person who walks into her life, including these rough Mafia men. She has a tough shell due to a traumatic childhood and "doesn't keep boyfriends" because of it. As she develops feelings for Declan, she really struggles to accept them.
Declan has a reputation for being cruel, yet he treats Sloan with respect and never hurts her, even when she is annoying him and charming his men. He completely falls under Sloan's spell and would do anything for her.
I love these two together. The banter between them is so funny and had me laughing so many times. They have so much chemistry. There was an interesting twist with Declan, that I kind of saw coming, but made the book a bit more interesting.
I like that we get glimpses of Kage and Natalie within this book.
