😩✨Ras and Gemma✨

“ You are the air I breathe. You are the ground that keeps me standing. Without you, I’m nothing, Gemma.”

Whaaaaaa 😭😮‍💨🤧
I ate this book UP! MAFIA 👀! FORBIDDEN ROMANCE 🖤! TOUCH HER YOU DIE 🤧! I would have finished this book In hours if I didn’t have responsibilities! I could not put it down. I love how each book is written and how they all flow into one another  ✨P E R F E C T L Y✨. It was spicy 🥵 , had the perfect amount of drama, and the plot was everything! I’ve read my fair share of mafia books but THIS RIGHT HERE HAS PLOT! One of my favorite in the series but my favorite couple. The pacing felt perfect.

Gemmaaaaa! Her growth was beautiful! I could sympathize to her in ways. I was rooting for her the entire book and I’m so happy for her. I only reason I didn’t give this five stars was simply because Gemma should have fought for Ras harder, especially towards the end 😩. Ras 🫦is my favorite 😭! Hands down he is everything. I loved his character! He was in LOVE. He nursed her back to life! He would risk everything for her! 🎤 Catch a grenadeeee  for herrr! LMAO 🤣. I highly highly recommend 🖤.
