i don’t think i was breathing while reading it and when i tell u my jaw dropped several time🤭 i love seeing how vulnerable he allows himself to be and therefore finding the love of his life. it was beautiful to see lucians thought process and even more beautiful to see him open himself up. I love the way this book represents mental issues in men.

the way she cares for lucian no matter his state & understanding him without many questions just goes to show how mature she is but how good of a person she is. but seeing the way she remains positive in all situations is something we can all take from her. Sabreena essentially was put in such a difficult position, being forced into an arranged marriage. lucians personal thoughts were so funny to read as well. but the way he’s so attentive to sabreena no matter where they are or the situation is everything. If i don’t have my own personal lucian, i will genuinely cry. Maybe in Dominiques books we will find out a bit more or will hope it is better written. Overall, the book felt a little rushed and there was no real depth to the story or to most of the Characters. Now I really liked Lucian, even though he’s in the mafia world he was quite sweet, especially to Sabreena but bringing that coin into the bedroom? No thank you, wasn’t feeling it. Then there’s Lucian, we learnt so much about him & his meetings with Dr. However, during the “arrangement” he did not for a second act like it. I hope we get a book about Alexi and why he supposedly wants out of this world so much. There was no real depth into the mafia world, Sabreena or Alexi, everything just kind of touched the surface and never went any deeper.

Unfortunately this was the same while reading it, I hate to say because it had such great potential but I thought it was okay? I had put it off for a while because it didn’t jump out to me. So I read this book for my book groups BOTM. ”Maybe I can just live off the grid? Be a tree lady? I can totally see myself in an expansive treehouse, making clay pots to sell so I could expand my house to like five trees.” [Also, after this quote, how can you not relate to Sabreena? This was a great forbidden mafia romance and the ending REALLY surprised me! The spice starts off as a lot of as forbidden tension and when it finally snaps, Lee gives you all the spice! They quickly form and UNDENIABLE attraction.Īnd…come on… they speak on the phone every night for hours until she falls asleep! How is that not the cutest?! My ship was well sailed by that point. Lucian is also the one tasked with “obtaining her” and is constantly on babysitting duty. Lucian is a mafia lawyer and Sabreena is his boss’s betrothed. I’ve read a LOT of mafia romances and this was such a breath of fresh air! I loved Lee’s spin on this genre! Mafia romance inspired by DC villains? IM DONE.
