It’s so hard to find a good mafia romance with characters who don’t become cheesy or overly done. This book delivered. It was a delicious slow burn with amazing tension. Somme’s writing really pulls you in. The imagery was so easy to picture, it really transported you to the scene.
Angelo was dark perfection. I find that a lot of authors seem to have trouble writing morally grey/dark characters who remain that way throughout the book while also still having good character development. Somme does not seem to have that problem. Angelo remained a ruthless man while still falling in love with Rory. I’m a simp for possessive, protective men (in books) and Angelo fit the bill.
I loved Rory. Her personality was sweet with a dark edge. She was so innocent but had that darkness in her that responded to Angelo. Also, her bird puns were so unique, I loved them.
This was an amazing slow burn romance. I only have two complaints. It needs more proofreading for typos (at least the Kindle version) and I’d have loved a bit more spice after all the build up. But neither of these things are enough to reduce the amount of stars. This is one of my top mafia romance reads now.
