The banter between Sloane and Declan is so goddamn funny. And of course the spice is everything. I loved the evolution of their story, and how they were each able to heal themselves and each other. Sloane is one of my alllllll time fav FMCs.

"I'm gonna give you everything, baby.

Everything in the whole world.”

Tropes:

Mafia romance?✔️

Captive vs Captor?✔️

Tension?✔️ 

Duo Pov?✔️

 

This book is really good. The second book of the series. Follow up about the story from Nat’s bsf, Sloane. She gets kidnapped by an ML, Declan, bcz of a death of a Irish mafia mob.

There were many times that I couldn’t stop smiling bcz Sloane is hilarious and her comebacks are spot one. She loves getting on Declan’s nerves ( but he does get turned on by it; but also think of her as a weird woman who doesn’t cry, scream or even scared of being kidnapped.)

I mean what could be more awful and annoying than a loud chatty, talk-back person and a strong headed woman.  A few minutes within her presence is all it takes for the most hazardous men to turn into her allies.

 The consistent chat, smart talks, diverting and charming communication between Declan and Sloan, are the quintessence in this book. The erotic and sexual tension and intensity between them is dripping out of this book.

She's tough and nothing seem to faze her. Relatively few individuals would accept being grabbed, and that just disturbs Declan. In any case, he sees through her backtalk. This man was swooning internally. 

“You own me, sloane. Every corner of

my worthless black soul. Every piece

of my corrupt black heart. You own it

all, and you always will. I'm your slave,

not the other way around. Never

forget it."

But those feelings are strongly reciprocated:

“he kisses me, and in his lips I taste

forever.”

Their feelings, moments and especially the smut:🔥.

We also get to see a crossover of the characters from Ruthless Creatures : Kage and Nat.

This book does lead to a darker turn, especially when we see the childhood traumas both Solane and Declan had been through.

-

"Tell me what you're thinking, baby.

"I'm thinking we're a couple of lunatics."

That makes him chuckle. "Aye. But my

crazy matches your crazy. That's why

it works."

5.0

I think Sloane is going to make it into one of my favorite FMCs. She was so funny from the moment the book started to the very end. I loved how self assured she was, how positive she stayed, and her sass was next level - she literally had me laughing out loud. I loved her and Declan's banter and they had great chemistry. I really enjoyed how their relationship unfolded and developed - it felt so genuine and I loved how well Declan understood Sloane even when she didn't want him to. 
Besides their relationship and romance, I also found myself pretty engaged in the plot. I had no idea where the story was gonna go and was pretty surprised at most of the turns. 
My only real complaint is that epilogue wasn't what I typically expect from a romance book epilogue so I was disappointed but also a little intrigued since it hints at a future book and future conflicts.
