My Review:
I saw that this was recommended as a book similar to that of Neva Altaj and so I immediately picked it up and unfortunately this one didn't quite meet up to expectations. I am not sure why this was recommended as a book similar to Neva Altaj because the heroine in this was awful and I did think the mafia and crime aspects were more darker than what that author actually writes if I am being honest. Its definitely a darker mafia even for mafia romance. I found the premise of it to be very interesting but it didn't quite execute the way that I would have hoped for. There are some flashbacks which I wasn't a fan of. I really found the hero a solid mafia hero. It was really the heroine that I struggled in this one and honestly all the women in this were very prickly and not likeable at all. Very black cat like heroines and those are some of my least favorite heroines. The heroine was very disloyal, not willing to keep her word and be very deceptive for her own desires and never thinking about the consequences of her actions. And because of the heroine, I honestly am not sure I would ever want to read her again. I am interested about some of the other heroes but not sure if its enough with these type of heroines this author probably tends to write.
Overall while I enjoyed some aspects of this one, I mostly just skimmed it because of the way the heroine was written that just rubbed me the wrong way.
