Three stars purely because it ended better than it started. It needed significant editing and spelling corrections before publishing, which I didn’t bother dinging a star for because that may be fixed later.

But good lord I couldn’t STAND these two. Short and sweet with no spoilers: she’s a naive moron from a billionaire family, he’s a cynical mobster from a poor background (monster, hah, super funny play on words there…). Their families are tied together through multiple layers, none of which make any sense seeing as how she’s filthy rich and he’s the mob.

Some of the plot literally makes no sense. Wanted by the law? Shhh not an issue. Angry vendettas all over the map with minimal proof of anything? Shhh not an issue.

I had it at 4 stars when I started writing this…I guess it really did bother me how not great it was.

Oh man, I can’t stand a leading character with no backbone, especially when that character is supposedly an ‘equal’ to the other. I was really hoping that Aisling would stop being so freaking pathetic but it never happened. She had no backbone when it came to Sam and none with it came to her mom. It was cringy watching her continuously cling to Sam when he made it clear he wanted nothing to do with her over and over. She’s a millionaire and a doctor, babe do better. Leave his ass in the dust, know your worth. Sam only came around when he saw that she was, finally after a decade, starting to give up. Then she gave in pretty quickly again once he was interested. Blah. Not for me
