It was pretty “light” for a dark romance. Lots of erotic that I personally skipped lol but their love was pretty puppy dog cute all mafias and move considered. 

The narrators do a FANTASTIC job bc I was fully engaged with the voices (and plot ofc).

fast-paced

4.0

The audiobook is Tara Langella, Erin Quinn, Brooke Daniels, Michelle Sparks and Troy Duran (and his irish accent 🫠)

The last couple in the series is Rey, the Famous italian black widow and Spider/Quinn (the second in command of Declan - book 2 of the series.
I am a real sucker for a badass FMC with a venomous tongue and creative death threats.

The only thing that bothers me is a spoiler so…

I understand that 2 mains characters over 30 (33 and 38 to be precise) wants children but talking about it repetitively for few chapters, was annoying. Since there is no pregnancy until the very end in the epilogue.

Tropes

Mafia
Survivor (Domestic abuse)

Arranged Marriage

Slow burn

Enemies with benefits 🥵
Banter (and the mother is hilarious)
That. Man. Mouth.
Spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️.5

Overall:

“All hail the Queen!”

5.0

Besides the first book, this is probably my favorite book in the series. I absolutely fell in love with Reyna and Spider:

They were a true enemies to lovers, with insults hurling back and forth along with death threats from the Queen.

But I love that they have good banter with one another, and that they can annoy the other but the love is still there.

The reader learns a lot more about Spider in this book, and meets a boss ass woman who has love for just him.

TW: domestic violence involving Reyna’s ex-husband. Nothing is super detailed about her abuse except when she has her nightmare near the end.

They’re just a great couple with amazing communication. Trust me, this is a couple who might have problems but they’re quickly worked out because Spider has been in therapy and knows talking is key.

Spice scale: 3/5. Let’s just say Reyna has a breeding kink, and Spider is only too happy to fulfill it. But nothing happens between the two until halfway through, and the breeding doesn’t come up until closer to the end.
