I feel like I’ve been in the TRENCHES looking for a mafia series that gave me what The Made series did and I THINK IVFINALLY a good MAFIA BOOK !!!!!!
I feel like I’ve been in the TRENCHES looking for a mafia series that gave me what The Made series did and I THINK IVE FOUND IT.
My alarm is supposed to go off in 45 minutes for the day. YES I STAYED UP ALL NIGHT.
This book had everything I wanted. - A GREAT plot. Original in a lot of ways (I hadn’t read before). - AMAZING side characters I grew attached to. - HOT HOT HOT FMC & MMC. - Hilarious banter. I absolutely applaud authors who can write funny dialogue without it being cringey. - HOT HOT spice (wish there were more ...more
This was better than the first book somehow. RAFE. Yum. Penny can be kinda annoying with her multiple “I hate him AYEEEE 5 outta MF 5 stars BAY-BEEEEE.
This was better than the first book somehow. RAFE. Yum. Penny can be kinda annoying with her multiple “I hate him but I can’t stop staring” & “my brain says to walk away but my feet go towards him” moments. Like, play a little harder to get sometimes. BUT SHE STILL played the game beautifully.
This was a BOMB ASS enemies-to-lovers.
YUMMY YUM YUM I ate this book UP. This book was THE MADE SERIES level for me. The closest I’ve found *CHEFS KISS*.
Okay hear me out… this wasn’t quite 4 stars but it was higher than 3.. so let’s say 3.8/5 ⭐️.

Why? —
1.The majority of this book was a bit boring to me. Maybe because of how dramatic book 1 was, but I didn’t feel as captivated by the drama in this book. Maybe because I felt like I was just rereading book 1 in a way? Yes probably. 2. The FMC was just not it for me in so many ways. She was cool, loved her style, her attitude, and her all over badass-ery. BUT, I absolutely LOATHE the “No communication” trope and homegirl ran with this one. Like I understand she is basically a child but grow up. I think that was my biggest issue with her. She was v v immature. Why not just ask Christian flat out what’s going on with him and M? Let him explain himself? And then the ending when he comes to her room at her brothers Christmas party to talk and basically tells her what she wants to hear…. And then she does THAT? Sis, you don’t deserve him.
So yeah, I was just a bit annoyed throughout the book. And Julian what the actual F*CK. If he doesn’t get a redemption arc in this next book… “Elmo’s gunna sue”....more
FINALLY. A mafia romance I liked almost as much as The Made Series. Definitely not as good in my opinion, but there were so many aspects that were simFINALLY. A mafia romance I liked almost as much as The Made Series. Definitely not as good in my opinion, but there were so many aspects that were similar.
This was a SOLID 4 star read for me. Not too dark or too dramatic like a lot of mafia romances. There were a few things - like her bird puns - that made me cringe but once you get into the depth of the plot and what makes her do and say the things she does, it honestly becomes endearing.
3.9/5 stars! Not quite 4 stars bc this book kinda lost me in the middle but the beginning of this book was so *chefs kiss* that it warrants more stars3.9/5 stars!

On 1 hand, I did enjoy it because I am a TL SWAN stan. It was entertaining, easy to read, and had all the makings of a great mafia romance. BUT………. *SPOILER* the whole brother and sister situation just put me off. I mean obviously they probably *WERENT* brother and sister somehow and that hope is what kept me going.
I did find myself sooooo over the MC. She just wasn’t it sometimes. Too whiney & needy for me sometimes. I did like her independence and boss woman mentality but that was few and far between.

Listen, the first half of this book was GREAT. great pacing, great plot, great characteuhhh did I read the same book as everyone else…?
2.5/5 stars ⭐️
Listen, the first half of this book was GREAT. great pacing, great plot, great characters. But halfway something changed.
Our FMC became embarrassing. I literally rolled my eyes every other paragraph. She seemed like a badass, strong FMC until she wasn’t. Her whole driving motive was just.. gone? The things she did were confusing and made no sense. Her plans were utterly stupid. 1/5 star FMC.
so the conflict here made absolutely no sense. Her “secrets” were not even bad. If she just had told our MMC everything would have been fine. The miscommunication trope here was totally unnecessary. And the ending? What was that? A terrible “traitor” reveal. Like what.
The spice & relationship were awkward. There was absolutely no enemies to lovers. It was basically just enemies to insta-attraction. It all felt super awkward and inorganic. Very “written”. I liked it at the beginning but not even halfway through the book, I was over it. I kept waiting for it to get better. It didn’t. It just was weird and awkward and eyerolling-ly painful to read. Mega second hand embarrassment.
BUT —- I am going to keep reading this series because the side characters were enjoyable and I’m super interested in their stories. PLUS, they all seem to be rated higher than this one....more

The pushDidn’t love this one as much as the 1st book but Killian can chase me around and proclaim his love for me ANYDAY. The Black brothers are 5/5. The push and pull throughout the love story was kinda exhausting in this one. The MC made me want to rip my hair out a lot TBH. Still finished it though. So yeah, 3/5 stars ...more

There were parts that I thought were too cringe with the dialogue & I will say there times where the smut was almost too much for me to where I was just scrolling through it. But I really liked the story, the love connection, the everything. The story moved quick though. I do wish there was a bit more enemies-to-lovers and slow burn but definitely going to keep reading this series. ...more

I’m not really into RH but the storyline here kept me hooked until the end.
I will say the spice was almost too much for me…. I would literally just put the book down and go do other stuff because I had too much ICK. Like, it was good stuff but just too much for me lol.
The story itself I really like.. until the end. It was SO RUSHED. I felt like the entire book was building towards it & then BAM, story is concluded in 2 paragraphs. Like wahhhtttt. Also, the RH happy ending gave me the ick hahahaha idk man it was just A LOT.
So yeah, 3.5 stars for the storyline and some parts of the spice but idk prob wouldn’t read again. To each their own though!! If you’re into RH, you’ll prob love this....more
