Favourite Quote: “But I love you, Camille. I’ll never hurt you. You can trust me for that, if nothing else.”

Tropes: Mafia romance, friends to lovers, opposites attract, morally grey mmc, dual pov 

Nero & Camille these two are absolute fire. I knew I would love Nero but I didn’t realise how much of a bad ass Camille was and how much I would love her as fmc!! 

I didn’t love the cover on this book as much as the others so far I get it. It’s obviously Nero but same time I feel like it could’ve been a car or a jewel do you know? Or maybe even a pocket knife switchblade but I guess it does make sense he is very elusive and the cover does give that off so fair enough.!!

I think Camille took me by surprise the most she kind of dangles in between of being a damsel in distress and then holding her own and not being distressed. If that makes any sense one minute she’s in a heap of trouble the next minute she’s just shouldering it and getting on with it because she thinks she has to deal with it on her own and I think it’s so interesting the way they both see each other as equals straight away it almost clicks in. I don’t know why I’d call it Insta love because obviously they knew each other before, but it’s very interesting concept and I enjoyed reading it .

I’m the brother and the half sister is going to play out. I feel like are they gonna be a different book in this series? I’m not sure because they did mention ask me in a year so I’m wondering does that mean that one of these books is gonna be about them.? at least be connected?

I thought the dads rose really sweet the way he wasn’t necessarily a main character but he affected the main character in a big way and the way they were both able to relate to that as well both Nero and Camille! Auntie is going to be good. I know it’s going to be good. It’s just whether I enjoy it as much as nearer story because I definitely knew I was going to enjoy Nero.

I love the way the classic cars was almost like their love language fixing the vehicles again I don’t think from memory I read a book like that before I don’t know whether classes are short stories or not maybe they’re not short stories but I just find I’m able to read them so quickly that they feel like short stories! And I just can’t put them down!!

The only thing I would say is the police officer I was kind of hoping more would happen there that be more of a oh damn moment and it kind of just fell flat for me, he got his revenge but nothing really came from it I feel like it is a loose end??

Overall loved it and looking forward to reading the next one!
