Anticipated and delivered.
So this is my third adventure in the Mafia Doms series (if I also count the prequel novella). And I was really happy with the way the story turned out. It is just enough angsty, just enough sweet, but also dark. None of the characters are good or just bad. And I mean all of them. Silvano is provoking poor baby Kyran, Fox is a little bitch who hates competition, Cristiano was just done with Fox most of the time (and I loved that), and Evan was a fierce protector who used questionable means.
There is barely any plot but the character focus was definitely worth it. And I mean that. I usually like some plot in mafia book but here was so much character development that I just could not put it down. I only wished the authors did not tease us with them being versatile but it is just talked about. I understand that the reason may be that some readers want strict roles, but why not make it different for once? Maybe in some other story.
I received an e-ARC (thank you!) in exchange for an honest review. The opinions are my own. I never filter my opinions on books.
