I thought their relationship wouldn’t be so insta-lovey & evolve as quickly as it did so that was a bummer to read. I also assumed the book would have darker themes and be slow to medium paced, but it read more as an erotica with very slight mafia affiliation mentions than anything.

That was awesome 🤩 
JT Geissinger is the best for writing plots you don’t see coming.

Kade is the epitome of a mafia boss. Tall, big, captivating…
And he speaks straight from the heart as much as filthy thoughts as loving ones.
I flushed so many time.
Nat is resilient. She’s been through the mourning of her disappeared fiancé. She’s been turning upside down by Kade. Because she didn’t see him coming with his heart on his hand and his sharp frank tongue.

Sloane really deserved her own book, she is the queen of banter and don’t take shit from men. I love her SO MUCH.
“Being with a man twenty-four hours a day is exhausting” I fell ya sister.

The audiobook is narrated by Brooke Daniels, Troy Duran and Michelle Sparks
It is a brilliant duet. Troy’s voice is perfect to embody a mafia boss.

Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5
chap 27  is the best spǎnking session I’ve ever read 🥵

I picked this up because I needed a quick palate cleanser to stave off a massive book hangover after finishing three intense fantasies only to find myself in said hangover because this book was so amazing. 

First and foremost the banter?! Top notch. I loved Nat and Sloane’s friendship maybe even a smidge more than the romance. It seems like in romances especially that a best friend is thrown in as a formality because the main character needs some kind of personality outside of their relationship with the love interest but not here! Their friendship felt so natural and real (which makes me even more excited to read Sloane’s story).

This book was so fast paced and intense but still had a lot of heart. Nat’s pain felt real and heavy. It also deals with tough themes like suicidal ideation so please check trigger warnings. 

My only complaint is that I wanted more POVs from Kage. I will say I liked how separated Nat was from all the mob stuff until the end, I was fine just focusing on them and less about the politics of mob life but that gave us less Kage. All that said, I am still going to devour this series I can’t believe I slept on it for so long!
