Thoughts 💭
With an enemies to lovers trope, I always find myself expecting that miscommunication will be at the center of it. I was pleasantly surprised when that wasn’t the case with this book.
As the two heirs to their respective Mafia family names, Leonie and Dom have deeply woven ties to each other. Throughout the periodic time jumps to the past from both POV’s, we get to see what caused these childhood best friends to drift and morph into the enemies they are now.
Romance, spice and relationship building is the main focus for the majority of the book. Towards the end we have a lot of our questions answered, and the Mafia business is very much the center of the plot. It was really interesting to see the shift in characteristics between Leonie and Dom from the beginning to the end of the novel. The murders and ruthlessness made this to be a really enticing read, I wish we got more of the HEA at the end.
