I picked this up because I needed a break from fluffy romcoms, and I read it in one day. Is this a literary masterpiece? No. Did I enjoy it? I sure did!

The plot wasn't super involved so that made for a quick easy read. I am not complaining as we still got it all, romance, spice, mafia disputes, and a HEA. I also really loved some of the side characters and am excited that this will be an interconnected series.

I loved Grace's character, she was not a push over and she actually stood up for herself and her sister. Dominik...hmmm what is not to love about him! He was so patient, sweet, protective and kind and I was here for it. Not to mention some Slovenian and I was invested! I enjoyed their romance, sure it was quick, but again I was reading this for fun so I did not mind!

Looking forward to reading the other characters stories in this series. This was a good palate cleanser for me, it broke up the RomComs but wasn't to involved of a read.

I would recommend this to anyone looking for a easy mafia book to get into that doesn't have a crazy story line to follow but had a good romance and spice.
