After enduring a childhood filled with malicious rumors about my father, I have fallen prey to his very same sin. I actually loved how they were both obsessed with each other, because Darla was so in love Zeno too~ The book was on the longer side but I didn't mind it and I enjoyed reading it.

He threatened to hold everyone in the church hostage unless I agree to marry him right then and there. anonymous (mostly) pen pals for two years who accidentally meet one night and thus ensues a very sweet, and surprisingly spicy little love story. His eyes light up when you enter a room and he listens to every word you say with the fascination of a man who is utterly owned.

I also liked that the characters were adults throughout and not high school students like in the last book, that definitely threw me off and hinder my enjoyment.Alexandra is a senator's daughter, used to mingling in the company of the rich and powerful, but tonight she will learn that there are men who play by different rules. my only complaint is that i felt they had very less fluffy and wholesome scenes without the sexual aspect ( and i understand that some couples express their love through intimacy or sex) but im a girl who prefers both the sweet moments and the dark debauchery sex. I like you, I want you, now I don't, you hurt me, I am not talking to you, you are my love, I will love forever no matter what, you treat me so well, you are so romantic but I don't want to hear your explanations, you hurt me, don't talk to me. My heart swelled until the iron gates caging my organ flooded open with an outpouring of the evocative emotion known as love. Darla is a career driven woman who struggles to reconcile the person her mother wants her to be with the bold woman she really is.

The De la Croix mafia world was enchanting, and I’m looking forward to seeing this hopefully built upon in future books. So the doctors analised her body when she died, discovered she was high (which, if she wanted the baby and marry Zeno as told, she wouldn't have been, right?

The growth is something that's just so refreshing to read, especially when it is combined with the fact that Zeno doesn't have any daddy or mommy issues. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. This series is full of alpha males, lots of steam, and each book is a standalone read that delivers. Darla’s growth throughout the book was very clear to see and it was great to see how she finally learned to put herself and her own personal needs above others or having to prove herself to her mother and the way she finally learned to stand up for herself and what she believes in was great to see! I loved that Zeno could be a cold blooded killer, but also the definition of "man obsessed" where Darla was concerned.

Zeno was just *chef's kiss* for me and Darla was a badass bitch who definitely grew A LOT as a character throughout the story. I was the boy who never had a chance, an orphan recruited by the devil himself, until the family I never knew gave me something to live for. The smut in this book was definitely on a whole other level and Darla and Zeno are definitely kinky as hell!You tell him you love him but you need to heal from the cirurgy and be with your family because of the scandal. While Zeno and Darla learn what it means to experience unconditional love and devotion there is an unknown enemy lurking that wants to bring Martardor’s Punisher to his knees. As the eldest son of Seattle’s current mob boss, Carmine Martinelli’s life has never really been his own. At the start i had genuinely thought i’d got the plot all figured out and then the reveal came and i was genuinely shocked because i was not expecting it to be what it was and when all the information got revealed and everything was out in the open, all those small jigsaw pieces starting to slowly join together and the end result was amazing because as the reader i was expecting it to go in a different direction but this plot twist was everything and it definitely had me sitting there in shock and confusion for a good minute whilst i processed it.
