I am just happy I've chanced upon this series. 

Morally grey men are freaking hot, only when they're in the books.

King is different from Nero, but they obsessed over their wives with just the same intensity. And I am living for that! 🥵

Dom, you're next.

I really enjoyed this book it was so good I’m enjoying this whole series it’s so good the scene's were so😩🌶️ this book is spicy it has a happy ending with no cliffhanger’s it has no cheating between the main character’s and no love triangle some of the tropes are Forced Marriage, Age Gap, Billionaire Romance and many more i loved Nero in this book i love King & Nero’s friendship there friendship is so funny they love irking each other but come in clutch always when needed I can’t wait to read the rest of the books in the series overall i rated this book 5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My summary: Savannah is on a third date with a lame guy she’s already planning on never seeing again, when they run into his wife and her mob boss brother, King. Savannah soon learns that King is not one to be crossed and is swept into his world in a rather coercive fashion. In the most unlikely situation you can imagine, King is instantly drawn to Savannah, and Savannah soon realizes that she may be falling in love with King. 
••••••••••••
My thoughts: If you want a twisted, dark, and deliciously smutty mafia romance, look no further. It’s a pretty f*cked up plot. I mean, this is not morally grey here. This is straight up, gruesome, almost deranged gangster sh*t throughout most of it. And I absolutely devoured it and thoroughly enjoyed, well, almost all of it. Literally couldn’t put it down and read it in about a day. I definitely recommend you check out the trigger warnings on this one, this series is not for the faint of heart or the easily squeamish.

holy CARP-- it got even better!! i LOVE king so much and savannah is truly his match in all the best ways. i love the "forced marriage" aspect and how it all ended up playing out. THE SCENE IN CHICAGO AT DOM'S HOUSE?!?!?!? HOT AF. i was eating that one up. and the ending lowkey broke my heart
all of king's internal monologue of how he saw how he was ruining her life made me sad and want to hug him so bad... like girl... he kidnapped her, threatened her family, and forced her to marry him but you feel bad for him....? yes, i know its weird BUT I DID!!
this one is my favorite of the series so far, but boy, i am EXCITED to read dom's book ;)
