I think I was FOR SURE a mafia wife in my past life or something because the way I love this book so much is unreal!!🤭

Declan is so loyal and willing to defend his family and friends at any cost, so it’s no surprise that he jumps in to save Nikita from her predicament. He was so protective for the beginning, even when he detested her and the world she’s from. He opened up her so well once he realized that this relationship was something he wanted, and would do ANYTHING to protect.💚

Nikita is sooooo stabby and I’m here for it🤣🤣
She did not hesitate when it comes to defending herself  from others harming her, and she’s had to do that many times since women aren’t valued in her world. It was so sad to see her be so broken when it comes to being treated with literal human DECENCY when that’s something she’s always deserved!!
I’m so glad that Declan was there to teach her she deserves to be loved, and that as his wife she deserves EVERYTHING this world has to offer.😍🫠

This slow burn was so gooooooood ahhh!
I was be literally giggling lol, because you could tell it was so genuine. And when the spice hit, IT HIT😌

Cala Riley, thank you so much for this wonderful story!
This book is going into my favorite mafia reads of the year for sure.💚🖤
