First off, I loved Angel & Nikolai’s meet-cute—though, let’s be real, it was more dangerous than cute. But that just made it even better! Nikolai was obsessed with Angel from the moment he saw her, and you know I love a “he falls first and hard” romance.

Angel is such a contradiction, and I adore it. A nurse by profession, yet she has a dark passion for t#rture, raiding warehouses, and running ops with her crew. She knows how to hold her ground, never backs down, and that resilience? Chef’s kiss.

Now, let’s talk chemistry—whew! The tension between Angel and Nikolai was insane 🥵. The spice? Off the charts. Sp#nking? Oh, there’s plenty. It’s an arranged marriage, but the intensity between them made it so much more.

Also, can we talk about banter between Nikolai’s brothers? Loved their dynamic. Also loved other side characters, especially Hanna. That speakerphone scene in the beginning had me dying—so freaking funny. Plus, the way Nikolai was patient with Angel? Swoon.

The story did feel a little familiar since I’ve read another book by this author, but I still enjoyed every second. If you love arranged marriage, B#SM, and mafia romance, you need to check this one out!
