I absolutely looove mafia romance but add in dark romance and spice? I’m sooo here for it! SHAW was a searing fast burn from the very beginning, Shaw and Emi’s chemistry is undeniable and it hooks you right way. Emi being a mafia princess brings in all the thrill and drama you want in a book while Shaw being a billionaire with alpha qualities brings in the spice. 

I loved seeing a combination of romance, drama and friendship, it was really nice to meet the STORM boys and learn a little bit of their background since they will continue to appear in the series. 

This is a bit of a bully romance as well so at times Shaw was a bit of a controlling, dominant alpha male but it came across a bit forced and I did want to kick him in the head a few times for being straight a-holy lol 

Overall I absolutely loved SHAW book 1, it had the perfect amount of spice and it left me wanting to know more about the characters and I highly recommend it!
