I waited a few hours after finishing this series to reflect on it beginning to end. I'm pleased to report that I was unable to find any flaws. No interaction or exchange with the guys or Grace that left me feeling unsatisfied. Instead it's the opposite. I can think of many scenes that were so incredibly satisfying on several levels. This series as a whole was emotional. There was an incredible amount of personal healing and growth for several of the characters. The bond between the men and their love for Grace individually and as a group was admirable. I like that they had a history with her. This is the first reverse harem I've read where every member had a long personal history. The overall storyline with the mafia and the conflict with the other syndicates as well as the biggest threat was action packed. I'm pretty new to this genre but the conflict and tit for tat was fascinating and better than many others that I've read.

Grace was very relatable and likable. Despite being raised in the life of a Mafia Princess, she wasn't a gun wielding ass kicking heroine. She was strong and a fighter but she wasn't lethal. She had a delicate disposition and a kind heart.

Ciro was my favorite of the guys. His backstory and the demons he carried just tugged at my heart. I think I held my breath every interaction he had with Grace.

Lucas and Zaid aka the twins. They were fun loving, laid back, accepting, and had the best communication skills out of the guys. They provided comedic relief.

Hale... I have a lot of mixed feelings about Hale. I feel bad because I am comparing him to Sloane from the Black Roses. I know I shouldn't, especially since his communication is more open and honest a lot sooner. His struggle with opening up and sharing is pretty standard. There is always that ONE alpha leader who struggles. Sadly that moment where we all fall in love with him never came for me. However his bromance with Ciro was admirable and did it for me more than his relationship with Grace.

Overall the violence and intensity level of this series is pretty low. But I liked it.
