Possibly my favorite mafia dark romance book I’ve read the entirety of 2022.
I loved the dynamic between Rory and Angelo. They were very much “will they/won’t they.”
I always love a book where the FMC has a backbone and may be slightly crazy themselves. If I’m rooting for the FMC, I know I’ve connected with her and the book. And I was rooting Rory, no matter the outcome.
Angelo, woo baby. How much I wanted to fight this man at one point in the book. But honestly, he was also a great MMC. I like that although he’s known to be vicious, you really see different sides to him. He’s a brother and a son (his mother’s) before anything else. Plus he pulled his head out of his for Rory.
This is an age gap romance which honestly didn’t feel like one to me. Yes, there’s a 15 age difference. But because Rory is 21 and because she’s about to marry a 70-year-old, the gap didn’t feel weird.
3.5/5 on the spice scale. While they don’t actually have sex until the end of the book, they are intimate in other ways. Plus they both like their kinks (spanking, semi-public)
