I shouldn't be waiting to leave reviews so late after reading but I'm trying to push through a slump.
There is really nothing overly memorable about this series, nor this book.
Also, I know they are interconnected standalone books, but I do not need another lot of world-building. I have read the same thing about the grandmother in every book. In case you didn't know already, Dimitra Drakos is a force to be reckoned with apparently.

This has got to be the most action packed finish to any book that ever existed. When I started reading this I got to the 80 page mark and genuinely thought that there had been too much action, too much had happened and this was going to fade out into a bad story that was just overly convoluted. BOY WAS I WRONG! This story had everything: mafia, bratva, spice, love, betrayal, enemies to lovers, family, found family....everything!
Elsa, like her name suggests has the looks and temperament of an ice queen, but I truthfully had to respect her grind. She became just under name partner at the age of 26? That's insane, all of course while raising her younger sister with no mom and a dad who....well its better if he is NOT in the picture.
Hades acts like a spoiled rich mafia prince that does whatever he wants when he wants, because he can. But again the reality behind him is that he is incredibly hard worker with a tortured past and the proverbial scars to show it. The playboy outside to shield his ever broken trust in people.
When it came down to it though, Hades trusted Elsa and new that she was his everything. Sounds rather sweet ya? Oh but this man has THE dirtiest mouth! He is a Dom and loves to see her submit, and the way that he calls her kitten has me submitting right along side her. OOF SPICY!

Jagger Cole can certainly write a good enemies to lovers story. I was enthralled in Hades and Elsa's romance. They started with some very good bickering banter, and it only got better as it went on. Their text conversations were a particular favorite of mine. I do draw an issue with the entire Halloween party being brought up and feeling completely unresolved. As well as the end of the book wrapping up way too neatly for my taste. That's really what made it a 4 star read instead of a 5 star read. I wanted the drama, the violence and the real gritty details. Instead we got a neat little bow that was too perfect to feel real.
