I felt a kinship with her. Those of us who grew up or spent time on the streets at some point would always recognize one another. You could just feel Luc’s complete intensity and more than anything I fell in love with his protectiveness of Summer. This story felt even more realistic than the prior ones in the series I was excited to be introduced to even more families which I hope means the series will continue in one way or another for a long period of time. Bianca's character was embarrassingly dumbed down to the point of really...is she just that stupid? She was easily manipulated by a man (Gabriel) who wanted to make her his sex slave because her father supposedly killed his mother. His plan was to marry her and destroy her because of what her father did to his mother. Gabriel's character was just a sadistic p.......k who got off from inflicting pain and had the personality of snake. He was a sexual pervert and she was a spineless female MC. In fact,she’s prepared to sacrifice herself to give the only man she’s ever loved the revenge he deserves. I almost DNF’d when I discovered it’s a misplaced revenge story. I primarily read dark romance with heavy leaning toward both mafia and bully tropes so misplaced revenge comes up often in my reading. Honestly, I’m a bit tired of it. That’s on me though, I chose to continue reading so I promised myself I wouldn’t let it mess with my rating or review.This is the 5th book in a fantastic series by an author who has risen right up my favourites list in the last few years. I don’t think I have ever given any of her books less than 5 stars as they are just that good. And this is another 5-star read. Can I just say OMG, I knew Luc’s story would be explosive but oh me was it that and more? I love this series and although they are totally dangerous and have their own set of morals the Five Families welcomed both with open arms and drew them into the family fold with easy. Luc Savino is the heir to a Mafia throne, but he is unaware of that, he has success in in his life, a business he has built from the ground up and a determination which keeps him wanting more. Summer Johansson is a woman determined to be better than her childhood, she wants to have a life without worrying where the money for the next bill is coming from, or whether she can afford to eat, but her current temp job is allowing her that, although not by much.

I just loved how the story unfolded, their ploys played out. I felt like I was watching a movie and I'm there with them.Your birthright-you’re in line to be boss of the Brambilla family-and accepted within the Five Families.” Luc and Summer have a lot in common especially how they grew up which helps them form a bond and when they get to know each other they cannot help but fall in love. But life isn't easy they have enemy's lurking and their motives are unknown. Sadly, no Katya in this one. I will hold out hope of her being a FMC in the future, though it does seem like the Bratva connection has ended for now as it was only mentioned in passing and this novel focused on some new New York based Mafia families. Can’t wait to see where everything goes in the future books!
