I saw this book on TikTok and I just knew that I had to give it a go. Teacher/student romances have always been a favourite of mine. Add that to the mafia/organised crime aspect of this book, and you've got one hell of a story. I literally devoured this book and although I haven't read any of the other books in the series, I will 100% be coming back to it to finish it off.
