My first read by Melinda and it did not disappoint in any way.
If you have triggers definitely read the trigger warning list before reading as some people may get triggered.
When Monroe was young her parents were killed in front of her and her parents best friends the Vitiello family took her in as their adopted child. Growing up Monroe wanted to go to the same university her mum had attended even though it was away from her best friends Rome and Chaser and adopted brother Sin.

Warning, this one starts off with a bang... literally!!
I actually enjoyed this book more than I thought I would considering it contains 🍇 and NonCon. The story was really interesting and kept my attention throughout. There was a constant air of not knowing the full story in a lot of situations and it is very clear that there are a LOT of secrets yet to be revealed.
I am looking forward to the sequel, which thankfully after that ending is scheduled to be coming out very soon!

Wow. I wasn't expecting to cancel my plans and read until I finished this book but here we are.
Monroe is a woman who was raised by a mafia don and his family, alongside her adoptive brother Sin. What a name, coz he is the epitome of sin. This is a bully-type of romance and as much as I don't like them, this one did speak to me through the other characters.
Sin is evil incarnate, fighting his obsession with Monroe in the only way he can - by being an A-hole to her.

Monroe watched her family die, then was adopted by the family closest to hers and her life has been uncomfortable since. Her new family might be in the mob, have lots of money and leave her wanting for nothing but her stepbrother clearly hates her and likes to make it known. She's also pretty sure she has a stalker but at least her stepbrothers friends seem to want to protect her.

A dark read so read the triggers first before reading. It took me a little bit to get into as it was jumping up and down a little bit. Being a why choose with 3 men protecting the main female. I did really enjoy the book as it got towards the end especially the boxing scene. For a character that doesn't tell the female character how they feel about her but shows with actions is heart stopping.

This was a page turner from start to finish. Took me a day and a half to read on my Kindle. Pre ordered the 2nd book as soon as I finished it. Was my first read of this particular genre
Girls definitely need to read your trigger warnings ⚠️ HOWEVER I ate this book up! I started and finished within 24 hours and March 28th needs to hurry up because that cliffhanger had me throwing my kindle across the room!
Ended on the biggest hanger! Bummed I need more!
