There’s something about this mafia world that has me hooked but lately it’s not hitting. This book had potentially but it ultimately fell flat. The resolution of his addiction was very rushed and she was much too forgiving which isn’t uncommon in these types of relationships but it was still frustrating to see. Their love wasn’t believable to me. There was definitely friendship but I just didn’t buy there being a romantic connection. I wish the FMC had more development within her own story. There was little to no mafia drama and that aspect was missed.
