Reviews with content warning for Gun violence - שבועה אכזרית

The storyline is actually pretty interesting with a slight mystery of finding an assassin whose trying to eliminate Riona and Raylan comes to the rescue as a 24/7 bodyguard…!

I also like the change of scenery closer to nature with Raylan’s ranch instead of playing around Chicago city.

Riona reminds me of Nesta, I wasn’t a huge fan of her in the beginning but this book changes the way I see Riona. There’s a reason to her cold demeanour, she actually feels more than she let on.

I absolutely adore Raylan (he reminds me of Cassian) - he’s flirty, chatty but also a sweetheart which really annoyed Riona but he’s transforms to something hot and wild when he enter the bedroom….

Despite how different they seem, they actually fit in together like puzzle pieces.

Overall, this book is a great addition to the series that comes with a satisfying ending!

Fans of enemies-to-lovers and bodyguard romance definitely need to try reading this book!

I received an advanced review copy for free through Netgalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Huge thank you to the author and publisher!

this book surprised me simply because i very much dislike the south and everything about it, not to mention raylan’s name is quite ridiculous. for the sake of the love story, and how i saw a little of myself in riona, i was able to look past it. i had two guesses for who was stealing, and i knew one had to be right in the end (i was). dante & simone’s wedding was such a sweet little addition to this book, and i absolutely love them together. i cannot wait to read the next one! the one thing i really hope does not happen for riona and raylan in the future is a pregnancy. she was so adamant about not wanting kids or to be married and i hope the gets what she wanted by the end of this series. if she willingly changes her mind, i will be all for it, but if she’s convinced or forced, i will be extremely disappointed.

5.0

I loved both the FMC and MMC, truly such a cute couple and I enjoyed all of their 1 on 1 scenes and interactions. I love Riona so much (and her sister! Nessa and her are some of the best female mains in this series), and I thoroughly enjoy her thought process and work ethic.

Raylan was an unexpected fave (I didn't think I'd like any character more than Mikolaj, but he's probably my favorite so far)! I really enjoyed him and his needling, I also loved his protective side! Their interactions were really cute, and I enjoy how Riona never lost her independence or edge despite her growth.

(The plot was also really good?? Unexpectedly enjoyed it way more than the other books!)

Mafia Romance

Dual POV

Bodyguard romance

Forced proximity

This book follows a different child in the mafia family and jumps straight into the action. A always appreciate that the previous book give a decent amount of set up for whoever is the focus of the next book all while also giving cameos of the ones earlier in the series.

i’m pretty disappointed i just really thought i’d like it more from the build up in the last book but i ended up barely caring about the MCs. i did like the side plot a lot and i KNEW

uncle oran was sus before they left for raylan’s ranch

so it was a satisfying reveal. beyond that this was a chore to get through and it’s making me dread the last book.

i didn’t like the way riona’s character was dealt with either - the fact that

she ended up moving to tennessee for him and abandoning the job she’d grafted so hard for

felt like the opposite of a happy ever after. dante joking about

her changing her mind about wanting kids

left a bad taste in my mouth too.

beyond that their relationship didn’t really feel believable or click with me so i just wasn’t invested in them in the slightest i actually would’ve preferred for

them to have stayed broken up

if i’m honest i would’ve been more satisfied had it ended that way.
