 My Review (May contain spoilers, fair warning upon reading this review)

The Finisher is a book that I have been itching to read since seeing this morally grey hero in the previous book in the series. His role just had me yearning to get my hands on his book and I am so delighted that I was able to and it was a blast. While it wasn't a perfect book and not quite as satisfying as the previous books....it was a pure delight. I can see why these books have been getting so much traction, they are worth it. The Finisher is basically a mix of a mafia/mma fighter romance with a blend of second chance love and a marriage of convenience.

The mix of tropes that we see enter into this story was such fun to read. I really enjoyed the whole heroine pining after the heroine, and him having forgotten her. It was so on point in so many real ways. I also was gravitating towards this story that had so much heartache and longing packed within in. They have such a strong connection to each other. And also the Latino blend to their heritage was top notch, it really felt authentic to the story. I also was so interested in how the secrets become revealed in the story. The only drawback in this story is that I didn't feel like all the questions got answered specifically for our couple especially them being together and the hero not remembering and that aspect to the plot didn't seem to get resolved that felt satisfying.

Overall I found The Finisher to be a captivating read that melted my heart. I was so easily drawn into their story on just an emotional level and it delivered all the way for me. Eager to see what the next book will showcase.
