CW: gun violence

I loved seeing Shae and Salvo getting back together and learning more about each other. There was a lot to keep track of but it worked out in the end. I loved it all.

I was really looking forward to this book, but it turned out to be quite the disappointment. Salvatore was still a strong hero and I enjoyed the mafia plot, but Shae was what brought it down for me. It felt like her character was dumbed down to horny, young pregnant woman who is far too naïve to be involved with a mafia man. That dynamic that I loved between them in the first story was completely lacking here and they didn't take any time to get to know each other. I do feel like we got to know Salvatore more, but that I know practically nothing about Shae. Because of that, their relationship felt very much based on lust not love.
