I really wanted to read a Colleen Hoover romance for myself. Ok, hear me out.... She isn't some classically trained author; however, she knows how to tell a story. The story was very approachable & I think most people will find something in it that they can draw a comparison to their own lives. There's a lot of spice & I found myself skimming some of the scenes by the end. I like to keep books like this in my library because they are helpful when in a slump. Overall, even with the subject matter, it was very entertaining & a quick read.

I really enjoyed this book, but I think I read it when I was in the wrong mood & would have enjoyed it more. Great story & characters!!!

Here we go... I really feel like the hype for this book was about the end. If you are cool with a book with no pay-off until the very end, you may have a different experience. And just to clarify it isn't slow burn. SPOILER - All the hate, cruelty, passive aggressive bs & stigmatizing was over the top. As a survivor of abuse, I have a hard time believing this story. Why??? I really don't get how one victim would victimize another in the same way.

I found this book addictive & fun to read. However, there were a lot of holes in the plot, things it would have been natural for most people to do, etc.

Great world & character building - truly amazing. Kurland has a very old-fashioned way of writing, but I found it wonderfully nostalgic. There were a few scenes that were a little dry, but I nothing major. Sometimes I wish Moriarty wasn't so "perfect", though it was great seeing Holmes be wrong. It made the story more approachable.

Really really really didn't like this. The best part was the first chapter, all downhill from there. I learned a valuable, money saving lesson.... mafia romance is not for me!

Why aren't more people talking about this book? From booktube I thought this book would be kinda meh. But it was filled with such beauty & emotion. His anxiety over a certain store & shopping there made me laugh. I have the exact same anxiety about it. It rang so true. And the end.... ugh. It's been a long time since a book has made me cry like that. If you are on the fence, please read it!! I think this one will stick with me for a very long time!!!
