The faux love triangle was dating after half way through and I never got to a point where the chemistry felt shown instead of told

This is the second book I'm reading from this author. The first was Fractured Freedom and I loooved it but I was left a little confused while reading this one and while trying to connect Dante's story as well as his personality. I'm just glad I read his story first because I probably would have hated it if I read this one first. 
Some of the things felt repetitive when compared to the other book I read. Don't get me wrong, I love 'Bridgerton' just as much as the next person but why was there a reference to the show in both books? Another thing that gave me the biggest ick was the fact that these seemingly scary people (grown adults) who killed others for a living, blew raspberries... In both books. How? I found it weird and hard to imagine trained killers doing that. The prologue had me hooked but the more it felt repetitive the more I struggled to push through. Kate was a boss babe but she was an unlikeable character. 
Finally, I would just like to say that I was crossing my fingers for Kate to choose Bastian.
I didn't quite enjoy this one so I doubt I'll be reading the second one.
