WOW WOW WOW. i knew from friends that this one would have much more of everything (smut, violence, action) than book 1 AND I CAN CONFIRM. i had the best time reading this - getting to witness elena grow into even more of a badass was AMAZING. she is ultimate book gf material right there. the found family vibes in this duet is UNmatched - i want to be apart of that family so bad. i love when couples are badass together and fight together, and elena&dante are the perfect example of that. i HIGHLY recommend this duet, but please please please check the CW. this is a dark, mafia romance, and it deals with some very heavy topics (cw listed below!)

I thought I loved Dante and Elena from the first bookā€¦ this book made me realize my love for them knows no bounds.

They are so beautiful together. I have never been in such awe of two people before. Elena truly came into her own in this book, and I loved that she was able to have the man, the career, and her family.

And Danteā€¦ oh boy they donā€™t make men like him at all.
get you a man who would go to jail just to find amd kill your abuser


This was such a sexy, emotional book.

4/5 on the spice scale for me. Danteā€™s dirty talk is just on another level and my girl Elena when she started to participate šŸ„µ they had me wanting both of them.
