When I say this CONSUMED me, I am not joking. Even from chapter 1, the sexual tension between Elena and Nico is so thick I'm not even sure you could cut it with a chainsaw. The chemistry is SO ELECTRIC, you find yourself not able to put the book down until you reach the last page. I basically read this in 7hours with literally no breaks because it just OVERTOOK ME. And honestly most of the time you're sat there running a hot temperature: BEFORE they even have sex because the tension is just so electric and sizzling. Really excellent writing if you ask me for that alone.
There's just something about the mafia element, that whilst I fully admit it would not be in the slightest a healthy lifestyle in real life, in the fiction world it's just SO GOOD. I actually found parts of this book quite interesting and having a fresh look at some of the life compared to some other mafia books I have read.
The only reason this wasn't a 5 star for me was because I wanted just a little bit more communication between Elena and Nico regarding one quite important topic, and because Elena refused to bring it up until right at the end, a lot of her inner monologue regarding the topic got a bit repetitive. 
I also would have adored if there had been an epilogue with maybe a time-jump.

I highlighted 273 parts of this book lmao 
Based on this book alone, I definitely want to read more by this author.
