Katie was raised in the world of the Italian Mob and when she loses her father, it’s the life she continues to lead. Katie used her body as bait to get men to spill their secrets and when those secrets put her in danger, the one person who wants nothing to do with her is the one to come and save her. Rome Antenelli is the enforcer and second hand man in the family. The monster in which the family relies on. He can’t afford distractions but when Katie is in danger, nothing can pull him away.
I’ve read only a few mafia stories but this one was so gripping I couldn’t put it down! Katie is a fierce and strong fmc who isn’t afraid to tell it like it is and does what she wants. Rome is a “monster” with a heart of gold. Their chemistry is tangible and undeniable. The plot is intriguing and captivating. I can’t wait to continue their story in book 2!!

This book was full of angst, lies, betrayals, Steam…it seriously had it all. Katie is fierce and fighting her own demons while trying to soothe the monster that Rome thinks he is. One second the Steam and attraction is off the charts then the push/pull between Rome and Katie is so frustrating but in a good way. There is so many secrets, twists, turns, that will have on the edge of your seat dying to know what will happen next and that ending!?! Wow can’t wait to see what journey the author has for these characters because it will be intense.

Shain is a new author to me and I'm definitely a fan! I stayed up all night reading this and I couldn't get enough. If you like dark, twisted, angsty romances then I highly recommend giving this a shot!
This is a dark mafia romance and book one of Katie and Rome's story. Their chemistry was explosive and I adored both characters. Katie is a strong and badass FMC and Rome is a deliciously possessive MMC. Both are broken souls who find solace in one another and Shain did a remarkable job of weaving their stories together and pulling out all the emotions. I cannot wait to see how things play out for them in the next book!

Shain is one of my favorite authors, I am never disappointed when it comes to her writing especially her mafia books. She knows how to write morally grey men. This is one of my favorite duets.
