This story follows Davina and Liam. After Davina and her best friends devise a plan to steal from wealthy criminals to pay off debts—and one day fulfill their dream of opening a school—she finds herself breaking into the office safe of Liam Brennan, an Irish mafia boss. Liam is not only powerful, handsome, and protective but also forces Davina into an arrangement after catching her somewhere she shouldn’t be.
I’m falling in love with this series and how it follows four friends whose lives are intertwined by a single incident, with each book focusing on a different friend’s storyline. In this installment, we get moments that tie back to the earlier books, which is brilliant. It brings back memories of those stories and adds depth to the overarching narrative.
Davina is a bit bratty and headstrong but also secretive. Despite not having much family, she’ll do whatever it takes to protect and care for her loved ones. As for Liam, there’s something about an older, mature MMC that really does it for u. me. He’s protective, possessive, and patient with Davina, but in the bedroom, he takes full control—and it’s absolutely delicious.
I really enjoy Eva’s work because it strikes a perfect balance between plot and spice. I highly recommend the audiobook, as it’s a duet narration by fantastic narrators. I’m already looking forward to the next book in the series!
