This is my first book by these authors and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I could tell early on that this would be a good book with the style of writing. These authors somehow manage to use the perfect combination of words to put together a story that I could 'feel' whilst reading.
The first few chapters introduces us to both characters and right away you can tell they are from very different worlds.
Olivia is quiet and innocent, who is struggling to make ends meet, while Luca is no stranger to violence and owns one of, if not, the richest companies in the city.
There was non-stop action the minute Olivia witnessed something she shouldn't. I enjoyed the fast pace of this story, and how strong Olivia stayed throughout.
She didn't let what was happening break her, she seemed to adapt and evolve and I loved the bits where she reflects on this. I do have to admit that for me, Luca takes a bit of warming up to, he does have his moments, but that's his character. He's grown up and spent his adult life not showing weakness, or being distracted, he's cold and ruthless and doesn't want to let himself feel anything. Olivia does bring out a different side to him though and I love that she's chaos to his order.
It is a slow burn, but the spicy scenes we do get are worth it! I enjoyed the character building as well as our introduction to Luca's world. The last few Chapters kept me hooked and I was white knuckling my e-reader not knowing what was happening and then that cliffhanger!! This was a really great book, and one I'd recommend to lovers of slow burn Mafia romance. Looking forward to Luca and Olivia's conclusion! Thank you!
