Sooo much was going on and my heart broke for Valor the entire time. I just wanted to punch Bishop in the face.
I enjoyed this but I think I just struggled with Bishop if I am being honest. His actions just irritated me so much. BUT, Riggs... was my favorite in this series and I am so ready for book 2!!!

Ok this started off SO STRONG for me. I love Sloane. She is freaking hilarious. I didn't love the first book in this series but Sloane was my favo3.5⭐
Ok this started off SO STRONG for me. I love Sloane. She is freaking hilarious. I didn't love the first book in this series but Sloane was my favorite so I thought I'd give this a try. This one is DEFINETLY better but still not my favorite.
I absolutely loveeeee enemies to lovers & captive romance so in the beginning I was freaking loving this but then once the spice kicked in.. it was MEH. I'm not really into all the "sir" and "master" shit.. it started to make me laugh, not gonna lie. And then when I really started to think about it Declan just wasn't scary. Like when I think of Mafia - I WANT ACTION.. give me murder. I know, I know... I'm weird. But I just don't think this series is Mafia enough for me... If that makes sense.
I did enjoy Sloane and Declan's story and Sloane is absolutely hilarious and made me laugh so many times.. I just think I needed more.

2.5 ⭐ I liked it in the beginning but legit NOTHING was happening. It was so slow & while the "forbibben trope" is usually something I devour, this jus2.5 ⭐ I liked it in the beginning but legit NOTHING was happening. It was so slow & while the "forbibben trope" is usually something I devour, this just fell flat for me.
I think Rory's character was really inconsistent at times. She was a virgin and pretty innocent but then consistently thought she was bad. I really just struggled with her character and the way she acted and she really lost me at her "oh swan" and bird obsession - especially during spicy scenes.
Angelo - on the other hand, he was SWOONY.
I will definitely probably keep going with the series, but I just didn't really like this one.
