I ended up really loving this! After around the 30%-ish mark give or take, I really liked this. This easily went from what was going to be a 3.5 rating to 5 stars for me.
I don't know if this was supposed to be a serious mafia story but I had a lot of fun reading this. The vibes were there lol. Nat and Kage's story was actually not something I focused on too much. Their relationship is very insta lust and insta love. You have to look past that lol. He's an alpha male with a damaged past like any other mafia book, nothing interesting there. Nat was a strong heroine and I loved that. She was never afraid of him at all and her sense of humor is top tier. Another thing, I never talk about spice in my reviews, but the spice in this book?? caught me off guard lmao but it was good. I loved how he always asked for consent and made sure she was comfortable with what they were doing. I loved her best friend Sloane the most. She was so funny and I will her book hopefully soon. I also liked the plot a lot. I was hooked throughout the whole book mostly.
