Uhh it was fine ig, the plot seemed really rushed which ig made sense since it's short but rushed plots could be good with good writing and this writing just didn't work. The aunt, cousin, and uncle just felt like cliches, didn't really say anything that vicious, just the boring "we don't love you give us money" blah blah. The writing also felt like the author had never been I'm a serious conflict in her life and the smut was god awful. The mafia aspect is lacking, I don't think they said whore once which if you read other mafia books "whore" is in like every chapter.
It all felt very try hard.

This was definetly a novella and gave me a taste of what's to come and it can only go up from here. Funnily enough I had no problem with the Mafia side just the quickness of the relationship. Ah well

Declan + Coraline forever! I loved seeing how their story began and how Declan is a Callahan man through and through. Seeing Coraline’s past really speaks to how she is in the main series and really informs all the choices she makes. I loved watching their love story unfold!

Mehhh it was okay. Not the greatest story, hopefully the second book is better, it's supposed to be.
