I downloaded this months and months ago after seeing it recommended on a lot book related social media. I had completely forgotten the plot and as to why it first caught my attention, so I essentially went in blind.
Initially, I thought this was a RomCom (which confused me as that is not a genre I enjoy). About halfway through I realised the original reason for the KU download, it’s a mafia romance and I had a period of time last year where I was a little obsessed with them!
As far as plot/romance/smut goes, it’s absolutely fine. Enjoyable enough for me to read whilst I’m sat round the pool on holiday. I definitely liked it enough to download the second.
Mason and Claire are really good MCs. I love a socially awkward, book enthusiast (because I see myself in her!) and Mason is dark, brooding and controlling (which in a book man, yes please!)
I can see that the plot has a lot more to give, I’m looking forward to seeing how it progresses in book 2.
