I didn’t fully get into the story, it took me a while to finally finish the book, felt a bit more like a chore than reading it for pleasure. I don’t feel captivated enough to go on and read the 2nd book. I feel like some choices taken by the lead don’t always make sense and doesn’t flow with how they have been portait throught out the story.

Oh my hang on to your knickers as this story kicks in high gear from start to finish. This book is fast paced and damn if it isn't intense phew I think I held my breath through some of it. This is my first book by this arthur and I can say it's not going to be my last, because she has a new fan plus this is Bk1 and I have to know what happens next in Bk2 as this book has me by the throat after that ending gah I wanted to yell nooooo don't do that to my Rome. I read that blurb and I was hooked and knew I had to get my grubby lil hands on it and boy did it not disappoint.

I abso-freakin-lutely would recommend reading this it's a must.

Was an alright book. Loved the aesthetic, the whole Mafia, dark romance. However i found the plot a little....dead. But hopefully after reading the second book it will be better. I feel like Katie's feelings for Bastian was a little rushed but her and Rome.... Damn i loved the tension between them. How he fought so hard to not give in to her but he did :)
Loved how they had the letters and he called her Cleopatra/Cleo. It was cute! How she kept trying to get his attention in the beginning, going to his bar, introducing friends and making mutual ones.
Just wished it was a little more interesting. The writing was great! The plot just needed a little tweaking though.
Hopefully the 2nd book is better, ive heard it is.
