The fmc was insufferable and wanted to run away after learning things she shouldn't be surprised about.. like hello, what did you expect??

This couldn't end quick enough if I'm honest but hey, I'm glad I seem to be in the minority bc people love this one. Just not me.

I liked Ryat but am excited for Tyson's book.

The twizzlers scene is CRAAAZY, not in a good way. Also puffy 🐱 made me want to throw up, and throw hands if someone ever said that to me!!

My favorite part is the lil glimpse of Sutten Mountain making an appearance and I’m excited to see more of Camden in Tempt Our Fate loll.

You know those instances where you know the situation unfolding is about to go South, but you just cannot look away?

That’s how this whole book felt & I loved it!!

This isn’t your typical thriller so don’t go into this with that mindset. This story is noir at its finest— fast paced yet somehow slow moving at the same time with Cosby’s intricate storytelling. This book gets violent, gruesome, and goes to show the lengths people go to in order to protect their family.

Cosby doesn’t shy away from visceral descriptions, so be aware of that when picking up any of his novels.

If you enjoy multiple POVs, heist storylines, and the Fast and the Furious franchise, I definitely recommend picking this one up!

I absolutely adored this friends to lovers, second chance, he falls first romance. Elliot being a true ride or die for Macey made my heart absolutely melt. The tears that were shed throughout this isn't surprising, but the one near the end?! Sheesh, I was a goner!

Reading Macey & Elliot's journey in dual timelines was critical in understanding their history & solid friendship, to what transpired that left them out of contact for many years. My heart truly burst at the love they shared over books, being vulnerable and honest in their early friendship, and coming back together again in the end.

I cannot wait to revisit this beautiful love story.

I think this was even better than The Predator & I ate. this. up. The plot is engaging, we are still uncovering the mystery element from book 1, so much action amongst the stillness, and some spicy goodness in the mix. I don’t know why you wouldn’t want to read this series!!

TRISTAN CAINE 🥵🫠
This man is one of few words but my god does he choose them wisely. His actions speak louder than his words and who doesn’t love that? He’s deadly in his craft, and is so protective and possessive of Morana but it’s the green flag type of thing if you know what I mean 🤭

Morana is a strong fmc that can hold her own in this ruthless world of the mob. The things we learn throughout & at the end of this one had my mind blown! 

In this dark world of such violence and chaos, I loved the found family within these books. The platonic relationships and side characters providing Morana a safe space, even though she’s seen as the daughter of the enemy, was beautiful to see. 

I’m sad that this couple isn’t the focus of books going forward but I’m happy we get to see Dante up close and personal. I adored him and his big brother persona with Morana in these first books, so I’m ready to see him take center stage. I know he’s gonna serve up some juicy goodness in his books and I’M READY!

This was a silly little mash up of Good Luck Chuck & The Hangover, but make it a bite sized novella.
