I wasn’t sure if I’d like this book. I read a mix of reviews. Although I don’t think Aria would have made some of the decisions she made, I understand the need to give a challenge in the story. And Cora did great! I cried, got angry, and was on the edge of my seat. Cora has gotten better with every story. Luca and Aria are my favorite couple. I have 2 other favorites but by far they are the absolute best. This book enhanced their characters, we all have flaws, dreams and insecurities to overcome. I felt I could relate to Aria more in this book. I’m not married to the mob but her desires are something any wife, mother and sister can relate to. Plus, I felt this was a bonus to get a view of behind the scenes with other books in this series.
