Going in to this book, I 100% thought I wouldn’t be the biggest fan. I’ve never been intrigued with the Mafia troupe or the arranged marriage troupe, but this had me eating it up.
The story moved so quickly and I found myself not wanting to put it down.
Callum and Aida had such amazing chemistry and banter. I loved how Aida acted and how she was just such a badass and independent character. Callum had a soft spot for her and it was obvious form the beginning, even if he acted all tough in the beginning.
I will definitely be continuing this series and hope to fall more in love with these characters.
<SPOILERS>
I can’t even lie, every event that happened in this book had me thinking how is that even possible.
From a fire in the beginning caused by Aida, to an arrangement made between the fathers that made Callum and Aida marry, to Aida being the cause of an allergic reaction and nearly killing her husband not even seconds after they married, to a mafia boss coming in and subtly threatening the safety of their lives, to Aida, Callum and her family nearly getting killed by that same Mafia boss, to Aida and Callum getting drugged and kidnapped by that same mafia boos and Aida somehow created a plan to get out of the captors control, to Aida being kidnapped by her psycho ex and nearly being burned alive, only for Callum to come in and save her.
A very action packed book that like I said had me eating it out of the palm of its hand.
