I had the privilege of reading the ARC of this phenomenal Mafia romance. Carly doesn't disappoint. Luka and Anna's story is smoking hot. There are plenty of steamy scenes, along with quite a few surprises having to do with Anna's family. Seeing as how Luka is Anna's brothers best friend and righthand man, only makes this story that more interesting. You never know how the story will play out. Will Luka and Anna get their HEA?
