buch war insane, habe viel gelacht und es war herzzerreißend 😭 wieso wird so getan, als sei das das wildeste dark romance mafia book, wenn penny & rafe nur zwei dumme idioten sind, die nicht damit klar kommen, in love zu sein 😭😭😭 das sind wirklich die beiden größten lappen, die sich da gefunden haben, nur am rumheulen und sich wie kleine kinder benehmen, sich eins reinwürgen und nicht mal eingestehen, dass sie sich mögen?? komplett delulu sturkopf-hauptcharaktere; story war wirklich inbegriff von „bis einer weint“ - und wie dann beide geheult haben war zurecht. aber i ate that up, es war einfach sooo geil und entertaining

einfach so geil, wie penny rafe um ihren kleinen finger gewickelt hat, HE WORSHIPPED THE GROUND SHE WAS STANDING ON, AS HE SHOULD TBH?? this man was on hes kneeeees, obwohl sie ihn die ganze zeit shitgetalked und fertig gemacht hat, she was such an ICON und er war einfach sassy king (kann nicht glauben, dass er 15 jahre älter sein soll, fand die age gap auch unnötig? he was a little baby boy in his head)

das buch war so geil, kann nichts negatives sagen, AUẞER

der paar kapitel, wo er sie random UMBRINGEN wollte wegen seines aberglaubens?? das war random as fuck, i love me a good enemies to lovers story, aber es war legit aus dem nicht, WIESO HAT ER ES MEHRMALS VERSUCHT DIGGA ich war so confused und geschockt??? my heart dropped als er sie ERSTECHEN wollte wtfff und sie es nicht mal bemerkt hat; danach wurde nie wieder drüber gesprochen und das fand ich insane und extrem unnötig

I really like Rafe and Penny as characters and as a couple, but I feel very strongly that this duo could have easily been condensed into one book. I don't think we needed two books when these are really character-driven and not plot-driven anyway. I liked that we go to know Rory more for her personality outside of her book and I love a smitten mafia man. 

The banter was great and the spice was spicy, but I think the attention to detail fell off a bit in this book, with some typos I didn't notice in the first two books. 

I am excited to get to Gabe and Wren's story next (well, once they come out) because I feel like there's so much to get into with Gabe and Wren. Hoping that we also get a Tayce book or short story because I'm obsessed with her.
