I really enjoyed this story it was heart breaking at times and emotional the only downside was how quickly the most traumatic event in the story got skimmed past to the epilogue could’ve done with an extra chapter or two. Still I had fun Hades is defo up there in book boys i love.

Hades x Elsa.
She works as a lawyer for his family and decides to go to Club Venom (anon sex club) to lose her virginity. in order to prevent her father from trying to sell her "innocence" to another mafia house via marriage Hades realizes who she is (behind the mask) and initiates a sexual relationship with her. Meanwhile the Bratva boss and Leo are trying to coerce her into spilling attorney/ client information about the Greeks. after a bomb goes off, injuring a lot of the Greeks and some Irish, Hades thinks that Elsa has been playing him. Unfortunately, hes mad for no reason because she was kidnapped by a psycho that was obsessed with her, and killed Leo - her father
A decent story, but I felt like there were a lot of potential plot points that fell through. Like how her position as a lawyer could crash and burn if its revealed that she's a solicitor for the Drakos family, and the man she's sleeping with is a Drakos. Ethics Violation. She could be disbarred
The plot moved expeditiously, but lacked the depth of the first - and maybe second book.

This book had all the tropes of a mafia romance that I enjoy. Secrets, danger, tension, spice, a strong female lead, and a psychotic mafia man who would destroy the world to get her heart.
Elsa is a strong women in her line of work and is just the right amount of sassiness and sweet. She has the perfect balance of strength and intelligence. Hades is a brooding playboy with a dark soft side, which is what makes him a very likeable hero. I loved Hades protectiveness and possessiveness for Elsa and Elsa's sister.
The developments and their banter were entertaining. However, I did believe that the conclusion came together quickly. Still, I had a great time reading this book. I can't wait to read the next one. I loved seeing the relationships between the family members and previous characters.

This series is awesome. I loved Hades and Elsa's story. This rollercoaster had me all over the place, it was epic. I highly suggest setting time aside to read this, I couldn't put it down.

I wanted to like them one just as much as I liked Ares’ book but it just didn’t compare.
First of all there were multiple typos where instead of using Hades name or nickname it mentioned Ares
