Misha and Aurora have a story which lives up to everything I expected from this author。 Misha is a drool worthy alpha enforcer and falls for the princess。 While Aurora being a little naive was frustrating to me at times I loved how these two came together。 The meeting， the tension and bike up creates for an epic read and I can’t wait to see more in this series

Remarkable！！！This Mafia romance is highly consuming and beautifully passionate。Misha and Aurora are intensely engaging characters with a stunningly gripping and alluring storyline。 The burning desire between Misha and Aurora jumps right off the pages and takes a life of its own。 Besides the romantic aspects of this book I really enjoyed the wonderful friendships。 Get ready to start and not being able to let go。 The hard part of finishing this book was not getting enough of these remarkable chara Remarkable！！！This Mafia romance is highly consuming and beautifully passionate。Misha and Aurora are intensely engaging characters with a stunningly gripping and alluring storyline。 The burning desire between Misha and Aurora jumps right off the pages and takes a life of its own。 Besides the romantic aspects of this book I really enjoyed the wonderful friendships。 Get ready to start and not being able to let go。 The hard part of finishing this book was not getting enough of these remarkable characters…I didn’t want it to end！ Truly entertaining and addictive in the best possible way。Congratulations Michelle🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 。。。more

Eh。 I usually love Michelle’s books but this one was kind of a flop。 Misha（H） and Aurora（h）The heroine was annoying and gave off that “my body can’t resist him even when he’s cruel to me” doormat vibe which is a pet peeve。 She cried every 2 seconds as well。 The H was decent。 Nothing new， nothing amiss， kind of like a recycled character but I can live with it。 St。 Monarch is neutral training grounds for all of the crime families but the rules and guidelines seemed to have been swayed for this cou Eh。 I usually love Michelle’s books but this one was kind of a flop。 Misha（H） and Aurora（h）The heroine was annoying and gave off that “my body can’t resist him even when he’s cruel to me” doormat vibe which is a pet peeve。 She cried every 2 seconds as well。 The H was decent。 Nothing new， nothing amiss， kind of like a recycled character but I can live with it。 St。 Monarch is neutral training grounds for all of the crime families but the rules and guidelines seemed to have been swayed for this couple。 Idk， it just didn’t feel consistent to how things typically go at this facility compared to all the other books。 I didn’t feel very connected to the characters or convinced of the story line。 It was predictable as hell and I was hoping for a least one plot twist or something to throw me off but nope， pretty much guessed the remainder of the book by 50% and was spot on。 Boo。 The fiery chemistry was completely missed in this story。 It was subtle and obviously present but no fireworks。 This couple does get their HEA， there is no epilogue。 It was boring。 Better luck next time。 2/5I’m out。 - B。S。 。。。more

love Michelle， didn’t love this one…。。This was so different than the stories that came before it within this amazing world she created。 Someone else said it already， but it’s like she tried to mix YA with mafia and it doesn’t work。 They hit love with zero development， there are main plot points that are unrealistic （even for a fictional mafia based book）…。。I mean two opposing groups may work together but an Russian enforcer isn’t going to be equally loyal to Italians as well。 The training scenes love Michelle， didn’t love this one…。。This was so different than the stories that came before it within this amazing world she created。 Someone else said it already， but it’s like she tried to mix YA with mafia and it doesn’t work。 They hit love with zero development， there are main plot points that are unrealistic （even for a fictional mafia based book）…。。I mean two opposing groups may work together but an Russian enforcer isn’t going to be equally loyal to Italians as well。 The training scenes？ It was like I was reading about Four and Tris’ from the Divergent series， it was way too similar。 I won’t give up on this series， just hoping this was a dud and she gets back to what I expect from her in the next one。 。。。more
