Another action packed book with banter for days. I enjoyed this book but there were definitely moments that took me out of it mainly the food shaming and weight comments. 

I loved Sloane’s dream of opening a body positive, safe space for young girls. I can also 100% relate to all the experiences and feeling she had growing up as a fat person but the constant comments about the “unhealthy” food ruined those great moments for me. The only time food was mentioned in this book it was immediately categorized as “healthy” or “unhealthy” not only can that be triggering for people with eating disorders it’s just unnecessary. It’s a 300 page mafia romance let’s spend that word count on something else. 

Declan’s pro-life hypocrisy was also a big side-eye. I appreciate that Sloane immediately calls him out on it but when you literally spend the book beheading people for doing the same job you do- criminally offensive side eye.

This is easily one of the best mafia romances I have ever read purely based on the witty banter. It was absolutely hilarious! The only reason I’m not giving this book a full 5 stars is because I found the

pregnancy scare and argument over a woman’s right to choose

to be ridiculous and infuriating.
