<spoiler's below>
I thought this book was really good the only hang-up I had was I thought it was too rushed, I could have read another 100 pages just to build on the character's connections/ foundation. I thought how they got together so fast was just too quick and at some spots, scarlet's thinking was seemingly forgotten like I would have liked to see her internal struggle about wanting to run away and planning something only to choose them. Her choice to stay seemed like an afterthought to the author.
The spice was really good just too much too quick is all I can say usually the love interests build-up to the level of "comfortability" I'll call it, for scarlet and Seb's first time together. Same thing in the office scene with Tristen just too much between them too quick.
So far Eliot's and scarlets development is going well but I would like more cute/ small meaningful moments so when he finally gets with her it makes a bit more sense than just she's hot and around.
Overall I recommend it to those who love fighting, strong FMCs, reverse harem and crime families/ found family tropes. I rate this book 3.5 stars.
