2023 was the year I became a mafia romance reader, and this book ignited my addiction.
This book is book two in the Camorra Chronicles series and let me be honest when I say I was practically salivating to read it before I even finished book one.
What I love most about it is that I loved its leading man, Nino, before I even started it. Nino is an interesting, original, and well-written character who pairs well with his strong, sweet, resilient love interest, Kira.
It is a book I recommend checking the trigger warnings for, but I think it’s a realistic and heartbreaking take on real-life problems (mafia aside). It's easily a book I could read over and over and over again.
Nino Falcone is genius and monster. As the right hand man and brother of the Capo of the Camorra, his lack of feelings is a blessing, not a curse – until his brother asks him to marry for the sake of the Camorra. Kiara Vitiello, cousin of the Capo of the New York Famiglia, is chosen to marry Nino Falcone to prevent war with the Camorra, but what she hears about Las Vegas makes her veins pulse with terror.

I always find Kylie Scott's book a refreshing change of pace from my usual reads because they're always laugh-out-loud funny, with quips and banter.
Admittedly, I was hesitant because this book had a touch of magic–which books I read normally don't. Well, how dare I question Kylie Scott?
This book is a unique story told in Kylie's fun, comedic fashion. As always, the heroine was uber-relatable, witty, and independent, while the hero was grumpy and swoon-worthy.
'I devoured End of Story and adored every page of this hilarious, emotional page-turner' HELENA HUNTING
A sexy, smart and unconventional opposites-attract love story from New York Times bestselling sensation Kylie Scott
When Susie inherits her beloved aunt's house, the last person she expects to help renovate it is Lars - her ex's best friend. The same man who witnessed their humiliating public breakup six months ago. She isn't exactly eager to have anyone around whose alliance is with the enemy but beggars can't be choosers and the sooner the repairs are done, the sooner she can get back to…
Maxine Dawson is pretending. She’s pretending to be excited for her best friend’s impending wedding, pretending her plans don’t involve moving back in with her parents, pretending she can move on from her past. Mostly, she’s been pretending that she’s been okay since her fiancé, Ethan, died.
Cain Hazelton is many things, but he is not pretending. Everyone knows about his short fuse, his preference for seclusion, that he only lets himself care about one person - his Grams.
When Max and Cain’s worlds collide, they gravitate toward each other for different reasons. For Max, Cain shuts down her constant flood of emotions and for Cain, Max makes him feel his emotions for the first time in his life. But before they can find their happiness they must overcome their pasts, their fears, and take a chance on love.
