This book had me hooked from the beginning. It was thrilling and intense and I couldn’t put it down. I could really feel the hatred the MCs had towards each other. It was also easy to grasp the family dynamic and how much they value their family and will do anything for them. The writing had me hooked and the drama of the story kept me hanging on every word. I’m always down for a good mafia romance and this did not disappoint. This was my first book by Jagger Cole and I will definitely be picking up more!

I binged this book! I could not get enough of hour obsessed the MMC was with the FMC. I had no idea how they were going to work things out and it tore me apart inside. I had tears in my eyea for the last 25% of the book. My heart was breaking right along with theirs. I loved that even when they were apart that he couldn’t stay away from her. He knew she was it for him. If it couldn’t be her, it wouldn’t be anyone, ever!! Loved it!!

HOT DAMN!! I’m still trying to gather my thoughts from this book. This whole story was really well rounded and I loved how deep the story went between the MMC and the FMC. I do wish there was a bit more resolution with her family and how they were treating her. That was kind of left hanging. Other than that, I really enjoyed this story and the history these two characters had. There are so many parts of this book that I just can’t stop thinking about. If you’ve read it, you know what I’m talking about.

This series has me in a choke hold! I’m always anticipating the next book because I miss their stories. I love the characters and the story always has me sucked in from the very first chapter. There is drama, intensity, and complete and utter obsession. Jane does a great job of tying one story into the next and also bringing back the characters from the previous books so we can continue to see their lives grow and change. I really just love this whole series. I don’t want it to end but I can’t wait for the next book.

This book was so real and raw. I found myself crying for them through the last few chapters. Her family was so good to him, despite what he had to do. This story was about being vulnerable and opening up to others for support and I absolutely loved it. I felt so many emotions while reading this story and I felt so connected to the characters and what they were feeling as well. This whole series is amazing!

This family!!! I love them all so much. Beefcake really stole the show in this book, as he should :) I’m always a sucker for a single dad romance and Nash is no exception. I loved that he was falling for the town doctor and not they typical nanny. I was ready for something a bit different in regards to this trope, and this story delivered. I love that we still get glimpses at the other couples. It really sells the point that they are a big family and really rely on each other in hard times. I cannot get enough of these boys and ‘their girls’, as Beefcake would say :)
