Jasmine comes alive in this book in a whole new way. I absolutely feel in love with her strong willed character.
The ending chapters were filled with drama and surprises. The spice was extra spicy. The characters were well rounded and unique versions of characters we've come to know and love.

In this story, Jasmine is basically the daughter of a mob boss. So, as could be expected in a turf war there will be violence and death. The book also starts with Jasmine being kidnapped and held in confinement. This book walks a fine line for those who will struggle with sexual content with consenting non consent. In the beginning especially, it's implied that there's already a no-go word in place but it's not used and does feel forced. As the book progresses it's discussed more openly and becomes clearly consenting even if the relationship leaves things to be desired. The enemy in this story is Ali and he is very predatory and does sexually harass Jasmine when the opportunity was presented.
