Flaws of characters a main focus: No

This follows Noemi and Connor. Noemi has been promised to the Irish Mafia family. Her father killed her mother and if she refuses the hand of the Irish she fears her father will do the same. Connor is intrigued by the mysterious woman who is labelled an unsuitable bride due to being mute. Which is perfect because that makes her silent. But something is just not right. 

This was a great read and audiobook. I really enjoyed the plot and characters. With Noemi, she was very mysterious and I loved how strong to an extent she was, as a lot has happened in her life recently. Connor is very protective of what is his. He stands by his family and will do anything to make sure they are okay. Connor can be sweet and caring but boy can he make you get hot and bothered as well. 

Just a couple of things. I wanted a little more spice as I was obsessed with Noemi and Conner. I also thought Noemi would try more often to convince and warn her brothers with him pushing back to cause more tension. The final scene where everything went sideways felt quick to me. The narration was great just I struggled a little with the male narrator on this audiobook but that is a personal preference.
