This was my first book by Claire and although I mostly liked it, it wasn't my favourite. 

Since it's a mafia romance, I expected it to be a bit darker. Also, there were some language errors with punctuation and spelling which bothered me as well as some errors such as writing the wrong name for a character. 

The part that kept me reading was the character Lorenzo. I actually enjoyed his character more than Cat. 

I felt like every time something happened in the book, it just brushed the surface. Each time I expected it to dive in deeper, it pulled back and just moved on to the next part. 

I'm hoping the next book in this series will have a bit more depth or even be a bit darker as I do want to find out what happens to other characters in this world.
