Her Mafia Bodyguard by J.L. Beck, C. Hallman
Did not finish book. Stopped at 66%.

Started out fantastic but near the middle and getting closer to the ending felt flat to me. I started getting bored. 
This is a soft DNF… I might go back and finish but not anytime soon.

Absolutely in love with Conner. I didn’t expect to love him as much as I do! He could do no wrong but he’s also an alpha man.
