Now, this is another standalone but linked to other worlds type of book. The story starts with Cora sacrificing herself to save her mom and dad from a loan shark, Ricardo, to pay off her father's debt. Before the exchange is made, she is given a month to get her affairs in order. During this time, we meet her best friend June, who is in a polyamorous relationship with Simon, Dom, Cohen, and Magnus. (To read the backstory of June and her men, check out the duet 'Untamed Vixen' & 'Vilnian Era.') We also meet Alec, who is their driver, and Miller, their very rich business associate. Cora gets into a situation, and Miller sends his fixer, Silver, to help her. If you are still with me, great. One by one, Cora falls for Alec, Silver, and Miller, but the secret she is keeping can hurt them all. This book has great flow and is spicy right out of the gate. If you love mafia, found family, and 'why choose' themes, this book is for you.
The fact that I devoured this book in a little over 24 hours is a HUGE surprise to me with our big she is. I have wanted Cora’s story for what feels like forever, and to say it didn’t disappoint is on par. Cora, silver, miller, and Alec, these characters felt so real to me and I am beyond thankful I got to read them. They all have some sort of traumatic background and I think that is what makes the story so much better! Seriously though, Luna can not write a bad book in my humble opinion!
