DNF at 80%. I really like the first 40% 50% but feel out of love with the rest and start to bore me. Just couldn’t get back into it.

This is one of those books where you read it because you’re in the mood for smut. Extremely spicy, goofy back and forth banter, mobsters.

2.5

I would give it a 3 but mentioning Hitler definitely is like ice cold water being dumped on you in a book that's supposed to be hot and heavy. If you like dark romance this could be a little bit of you. I could not stop cringing at the mentions of how she was a fresh 20 year old virgin...the age gap was not for me. He doesn't even get better until maybe chapter 40? It's so weird how the author mentions races like why did she have to mention the lady that owned the store in Paris was Indian? It did nothing for the book. Also I hated the stereotypical way she made anyone Russian speak "vant" "vill" "goodvye" like why? The writing wasn't horrible but the plot was mostly a game of cat and mouse and the mouse is highly aware she has Stockholm Syndrome. There wasn't even an epilogue to add onto the story. Like did she ever become pregnant or was that a fake fortune telling? If it was why bother adding that in

4.2⭐️s: I was originally unsure on how I would feel about Ronan and Mila’s relationship. Obviously, in real life Stockholm syndroming this gorgeous American girl bc you hate her papa is a MASSIVE red flag…but it book world, it was borderline great. Nico’s story is still my absolute favorite of the series but Ronan’s is a close second.
