Thank you to NetGalley and the publishing team for the opportunity to read this title in advance of its release.

5 FREAKING stars! ⭐️

Harper Dale is utterly brilliant and this book just jumped high up on my list of favorite mafia romances. It took me a bit to read ONLY because I was savoring it like a fine wine. Man, there is just something so enticing about this story.

Dante and Darya’s story is one for the history books (should they exist in the fictional mafia world!). In addition to the push and pull of their magnetic relationship, Harper Dale does a wonderful job of immersing you in a world. You truly feel like you are on location as the story is unfolding.

I can’t wait to for the next book! I am hooked!

I loved this book so much. I have been on a mafia book kick lately, but this is definitely one of my favorites!!

**Apparently this is Book 2 in the series, and I haven't read Book 1, but I didn't have any trouble following along, so I would consider this an interconnected standalone.**

Dante & Danya have instant chemistry.... and they have to navigate how & if they can make a relationship work while their families are enemies...

I honestly don't understand why & how Danya's parents have been apart for over 2 decades!! But glad that they were able to stay together & pick up where they left off...also sad for her Dad (and her) who missed out on growing up together.

The book is well written...lots of action, plot twists, steamy moments, witty banter & a happily ever after.

Look forward to reading more books by this author!!

Thanks to the author, publisher & Netgalley for the ARC read. All opinions are my own.

This book is a true mafia/mobster romance. The two main characters, Darya and Dante have chemistry right out of the bat. The text message exchanges between these two were so good. They are both hot heads. One minute they are screaming at each other then the next they are all over each other. And I was here for all of it. The different elements to the story really sold this book for me. The exploration of Prostitution, Sex trafficking, while following that morally grey line of what is right and what is wrong (murder is okay, lol). It illustrated how these men were not good men, but they had standards and selling women was their hard line. I also liked how we got to see multiple perspectives. I love when authors do this, because it adds another layer to the story. If you like Bratva/Mobster romance, then you will love this book.
