final thoughts: I was hooked from the dedication and I need the other brother’s books to see what happens next! There was no cliffhanger, but I still need more into to tie up loose ends and I think we’ll get that as the series goes on.
This was a fun, fast-paced, fast-burn book about Dom/sub dynamics and BDSM/kink exploration with Irish Mafia darkness.
I loved the caring scenes with him washing and taking care of her to show his contradicting personalities.
