A dark mafia romance.
Though Kiara Payne may be a genius when it comes to languages, what she knows of the real world largely comes from books and movies. But after foiling a robbery on her first day as a bank teller, Kiara finds herself thrust into a world of danger, her life resting in the hands of the infuriatingly sexy Italian mafia boss Milo Di Vaio. In exchange for her safety, Kiara agrees to serve as Milo's translator, accompanying him across Europe as he tries to clean up the mess his late brother left behind and save the reputation of the Di Vaio crime family.
Cold, ruthless, and sinfully beautiful, Milo is hard to resist but even harder to love. As tensions rise and secrets are spilled, Milo and Kiara are both forced to question everything they thought they knew.
Does love outweigh loyalty? And if so, is it worth dying for?

I was very entertained by this read, I couldn’t put it down and then a surprise guest appeared 79% and the book almost lost me but I decided to pull through because I was already 79% in. That guest appearance reminded me of another book I read late last year and I felt the same way–annoyed and irritated. Marchello got on my nerves 100% of the time that man was mentioned, he had no respect for Milo (read the book and then tell me if he respected him or not) let alone Kiara. I actually did enjoy the spice but I would’ve loved if the book was also told from his POV before it got to the epilogue.

This is an Advanced Reader copy. Although this book was given to me as an ARC my thoughts are my own. Thank you Hambright PR for the ARC.
