So good!! Noemi and Connor have off the charts chemistry! The story of their romance and their family issues create a grip and intrigue that makes it hard to put down the book. The ending felt a bit flat for the build up but otherwise it was a worthwhile mafia romance read.

plsnotanotherdamselindistress's review

As this is a mafia book I was expecting all kinds of sexism but to keep me interested despite that I have to like the characters.
These characters were boring, no depth and the storyline also did not catch my attention.
But added to that what made me dnf this book was

that her not talking was kind of a big deal...yeah, well that changes not even a quarterinto the book because he forces her to speak or he would call her dad, while having realized that she is afraid of her father.

Firstly that kind of takes away the only interesting part of the story and secondly that is not how I like these mafia men.
