the age gap in this book was really age gap-ing! i'm really in love with ronan. he is a freaking mob boss but he can be really sweet when he wants to be. the way he pays attention to mila, the way he cares for her, it was just so wholesome to read.
and mila is such a selfless woman, it was really great to see her finding her actual self with the devil by her side ;)

mila and ronan's pasts are really traumatizing and it really made my heart ache for them. anddd i loved seeing khaos getting along with mila, it was so beautiful!!

this book has it all — mafia world, age gap, angst, banter, hate, love, and emotions that hit right in the feels. the made series is totally worth the ride.

MILA IS LITERALLY RONAN'S YELLOW 💛

My least favorite of the series - not to say I didn't like it, but it just wasn't as good as the first two.

I liked the romance, the chemistry was palpable, the FMC being held captive isn't my thing and I didn't love her like I did the last two. I'm not sure if it's because she was a vegan or if she was just way too philanthropic and overly so, but it was hard for me to connect with her. I didn't find her endearing. Also, this was a "captive"/"slave" trope and I didn't love that aspect of the book, I feel like more, or different could've been done, the reasoning was flimsy at best. It was relatively memorable and I still enjoyed it.

All endings are cheesy but this one was far more cheese than the others and I find myself rolling my eyes - again, could be bias because the FMC was just annoying me but, it was like... a silly ending.

I would rate this 0 stars if I could. like I only got to maybe 20% and I just couldn’t read anymore. UR TELLING ME THAT THIS THE MAN SHE FALLS IN LOVE WITH??? THE MAN THAT SHE ENDS UP WITH??? how do we go from Christian TO THIS. this book felt so strange from the beginning, it felt like I was reading a book from a completely different author…

vegan animal lover kidnapped by a broody, russian, mafia boss just to get back at her father. don't mind if i do. After holding her hostage, he simply didnt want to let her go. This book had me giggling and kicking my feet but also yanking on my hair in frustration. so in other words I ATE IT UP. Mina is so sassy and at first i wasn't a big fan but as the book when on her character growth had me loving her. I don't think i need to say anything more really other than Ronan has me on my knees. I need more of them.

' why are you such a hippy' 'why are you such a mobster' - i'm giggling

The best book I read in a while. I spent every night just reading it. I loved the love hate relationship Ronan and Mila had throughout the book. I loved the plot it wasn’t a typical romance novel which a little refreshing. I loved the bickering that they both had and most all Khaos the dog even he was in it maybe a few times, loved him.
Highly recommend!!
