This is a good mafia book with some spice (🌶️🌶️🌶️/5)
I am not found of the FMC because instead of rising, I thought she was more collapsing. Perhaps it was on purpose regarding her history. Either way, I did not connect much as the book progresses.

The childhood sexual abuse is mentioned on page. It is slightly descriptive however it does not go into full details but it is very obvious what is happening when read in full context. Also this book does have themes of religious ideologies, FMC grows up with an abusive religious father.kpaigey's review against another edition

Five fuk'n stars. Bravo Jagger Cole! As much as this is a love story with uber spicy scenes, it also throws in a helluva thrilling plot twist.
I was first introduced to Cillian in Dark Kingdom, and instantly knew I would fall in love with his crazy story and I wasn't wrong one tiny bit. Una and Cillian are perfect together, even if she stabbed and tried to kill him more than once.
We learn about Cillian's childhood and how he evolved into the man is he today, as well as learn about Una and her true inner darkness that she's forever hidden from the world. Do heed the authors content warnings as this story deals with some heavy issues.
If you love a dark mafia romance that includes a thrilling twist, revolves around a true psychopath hero that will kill anyone who even touches his woman, and a heroine that will and has made multiple attempts to kill for those she loves then you will love this spicy as hell love story. There are even several laugh out loud moments thrown in there (ie. the car scene with Castle and Cillian after he's been stabbed).
Vicious Hearts will leave you running to read about all the other men in this world Jagger Cole has so brilliantly created. I love your writing so much!
I was sent a free book and am voluntarily leaving this honest review. Thank you Jagger Cole and Valentine PR for allowing me the opportunity to read this before its official release.

My favorite laugh out loud moment between Castle and Cillian~
“So, a girl…”
“Just drive.”
“A single—”
“Drive the damn car.”
“Like, are we talking a Viking-sized—”
“Stop fucking talking and drive.”
