This was everything I needed and then some. The spice, the drama, the tough guys, everything. I think I zipped through this in maybe 2 days and I cannot wait to start Carnal Urges next! THANK YOU SO MUCH for this copy!!!

let me start by saying I love J.T. Geissinger and her books. with that in mind, this one just wasn’t my favorite. I love the idea of it: mafioso falls in love with his mark and they become obsessed with each other. but it was hard for me to buy into the insta-love and inconsistency of it all.
⇢ Nat goes from begin so depressed and unable to move on from her missing fiancé for five entire years to suddenly being obsessed with a total stranger, basically overnight.

⇢ Sloane is her very best friend and they talk every single day, then they don’t talk for ten days, including Christmas and New Year. I don’t care how busy my best friend and I are, we always communicate on holidays.

⇢ Kage is so loyal to his boss / father figure, yet he’s suddenly willing to turn on everything he knows in order to obsess over a woman after simply seeing her one time.
yes, yes, I know it’s a fictional romance and it’s just part of it. sure, we can chalk it all up to the whirlwind of a new love, but it just didn’t read that way for me. I got a lot of whiplash from this one.

regardless of what I believe to be inconsistencies, I’ll continue the series, and I just know this story is one so many people will love and devour. if you like mafia romance, you should definitely give it a try.
