4* Dark Mafia Romance

Releases July 14th 2026 2pov

I enjoyed this book for the most part. Some of the language phrases felt a little off no matter how many times they were used. It was also a bit weird how there was such hatred burning between the two but when it seemed she was having an episode he would instantly become so concerned. I will suggest giving a slight intro or at least stating what the IED stands for. I myself know someone who has this so I was able to understand but not many people do. Overall though a great slow burn enemies to lovers.
