I haven’t had the best luck with mafia romances so I wasn’t sure what to expect here. Oftentimes I find them to be a little far fetched and predictable but damn this one was sooo good. It was anything but predictable, there were so many really surprising reveals and I haven’t even gotten to the romance side. Frank and Elena are both broken and have been through so much in their lives and the way they brought comfort and safety to each other was so special. Despite their super complex histories these two are made for each other and seeing them reconnect was everything. Frank’s tender relationship with Elena’s sons was absolutely adorable and seeing two little kids bring this big, tough man to his knees was my undoing. If you like emotional, angsty, and spicy romantic suspense this was excellent!
