I enjoyed the general vibe of this book. It was outside my usual reads with the mafia element but I do enjoy a good forced proximity trope. The characters were enjoyable and the pacing was solid to keep me interested. There is some spice with the story and some lovely daily moments. It is the mafia so triggered warnings for death, guns and violence. I would recommend this for someone looking for a stand-alone darkish romance.

When you loose everything you never expect things to change they way they do. From having nothing to having everything you could even want.
JL has done it again and kept me gripped right from the beginning to the end.
What can’t you love about Mafia, morally grey and forced proximity set in Australia.
