This is the 3rd book in a series, so I won’t spoil any story. This series is highly underrated and YOU should definitely read it.

Thank you to R.E. May for providing this free advanced reader. The opinions expressed are my own.

I was SO SURPRISED to have received this ARC in my mail inbox. It felt like a gift that arrived just in time to make my day. I read (more like devoured) the first two books in April this year and I was instantly hooked. Both were a highlight for me and they have a special place in my heart.

RACHEL E. MAY, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME? This was one of the most fun and sexy books I’ve read this year. I was having a hard time in my private life, and this was perfect to take my mind off of things, allowing me to escape. Did I cry? Yes. Am I fine? No. Give me 5 to 6 business days to recover. Thanks.

It was heart-wrenching. Leona’s story – and her men’s – is a story many women experience (except maybe being a mafia queen??). R.E. May captures important topics, such as trauma, ptsd and trafficking (and so much more) in such a heartfelt way. She doesn’t forget that the characters are human beings with their own quirks. BUT first and foremost, she never forgets to put the fun into MAFIA. The banter had me giggling and the spice had me kicking my feet. AND THE BI REP??? HELLO?? ✨🏳️‍🌈✨

I really like the book’s pacing. Planning scenes were skipped as they were not as important to the story and other parts could be highlighted. I mean there were moments where I had to sit upright because things got down.

And did you know that the characters are inspired by the Manga Yona of the Dawn? I SCREAMED when she revealed this on instagram. I am a huge Yona fan! RACHEL, I DEMAND MORE.

Easy 5/5.
