"Reading a 500+ page book in one sitting will now be my biggest flex; I COULD NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN. I feel like I have lived through every single emotion between these pages." ~ Brooke, from Goodreads
"Wow! This book was so beyond what you would expect in a typical mafia romance. This book has it all: banter, a kickass FMC, a possessive MMC, twists in the plot, and emotional damage. This is a must-read for anyone who reads mafia romance." ~ Jennifer, from Goodreads
