Second chance 

I have been waiting for Benito’s story for a while!!!! 

Check the trigger warnings. 

We have the MMC who is still angry that the love of his life who is the FMC left him for an enemy. And we have an FMC who has been abused and degraded by said enemy but also harbors guilt from dumping the MMC. 

The MMC puts the FMC through degradation, humiliation and manipulation so wild my jaw dropped. He did all this without really understanding what happened to her. The path to revenge is so blurred. In all this, you can see the love between the MCs. Behind this there is scheme happening in the casino that Benito needs to find a solution to. 

I wanted to put my hands in the book and beat the MMC. Of all the three brothers Benito is the worst. The quiet ones are always the problem. I mean Roman is a leader, Caesar is unhinged and I expected Benito to be better or above it all and he’s just mad. Let me just say that this could’ve been finished with a conversation from the get go. 

This is one book I wanted to stop reading at the third act. 

My praise for Gigi? How she wrote these books around these characters and connecting the story from different perspectives. I loved understanding the whole picture behind certain moments. After reading this book, everything clicks and makes sense and for that Gigi did an amazing job.
