I listened on audible too. I think the narrators ruined it for me. The story was good. Parts of it were frustrating. Especially Rome and Kati’s indecisiveness. Plus Rome kept saying “I don’t care about her at all.”

I'm sorry, but I couldn't finish this book. It didn't give me the buzz that I'm searching for which was pretty disappointing. Even so, some readers might found it enjoyable so do give this book a chance if you think it suits your interest.

slow-paced

I almost DNF several times. I’ve enjoyed this authors other books but this one was painful. Really slow. The plot was fighting for its life the entire time. The narration was super confusing. Happy to be done with it.

I have said since the first time that I read this author's words, that there is something special about her. I think she will be one to watch because with every book that she writes it leaps off the pages and comes alive. She has an uncanny ability at knowing how to give just enough details that it makes the scene come alive without giving to many where it becomes redundant. I was surprised to discover that she was writing Mafia this go around since her first books were different. To say that I was pleasantly surprised would be an understatement. She took this subgenre and made it her own.

Katie and Rome were perfect, both, individually and together. I liked seeing a woman that so owned what she was as a woman. She was never weak and she was unapologetic and fierce. I liked that about her. I, especially, liked that Rome tapped into that fierceness and from the very beginning had seen what her potential was. She was always destined to be something bigger than life. Rome was dynamic and also an enigma. I was trying to understand what made him tick, but often, he would seem elusive and would not give a full story. That could have been unappealing but this author knew how to balance it by giving just enough to tantalize her audience. By the end, I was in love with Rome.

Great secondary characters, plausible storyline, and mystery to keep me tuned in for the rest of this duet. Well done to this author for crafting a great mafia story (my favorite) and for proving me right by continuing to excel at being an author.
