3,5 🌟.
I love this type of story line .about the broken fmc who is too traumatized ..that get the man to help her heal and love her through it all especially if his a mafia man and her husband ❤
the first 150 were perfect . it was what I realy wanted .the love and patience of conner towards her was beautiful 😍 however the second part was a little bit of a disappointment because there was alot of smut good smut but a lot and way fast in their relationship especially in her condition. In her case I would have given her more time to trust him even though he was perfect it just I wanted more of them in the beginning of thier relationship. The end was sweet .love her character development.
♡"I have lways been a pawn but today, I am a queen "♡
Conner was given me Pavel and Nino vibes so much and I loved him .he healed her and helped her through it all .he was like you arr my wife and I will save you .i liked there relationship even though i would loved more of them .she doesn't realy knows him deeply or knows his thoughts and struggles in the beginning but still

Woah this was not what I expected about Willow & this book has me wanting my own Connor! Holy heck was this romantic! He helped her get clean, patiently waited for her to WANT to be clean and then waited for her to make the move on him! I also am very pissed off as a woman because I know lots of people DO see women as an object.
I loved to see Willow come into her own but I wish we got more details when it came to her taking over the Ravens!

This story was slow to begin with, but became increasingly enticing to the point where I could not put it down. I feel like the ending was incomplete, I wanted- for lack of a better word- more. I wanted to know more than what I was told; it came to a point where I just couldn't put this book down. Over all, this novel deserves a high rating because it was deliciously good.

I like this book. I enjoy Connor and Willow and hope they have to work slowly together in this book. Once they do build that trust, their internal monologues feel really repetitive I do trust… I do feel… I do love… It was a good book aged I would read it again. It wasn’t my favorite in the series.

This is what that book Twisted Emotions wishes it was. I hated the Camorra Chronicles Series by Reilly, I tried so hard to like it but it was ass. BUT THIS?! I loved it and it was done so well. I'll be on the look-out for more Sophie Winters books 💕

I loved this second book! And I can’t wait to the next one! This series is soooooo good!!!

I have to admit Willow drove me nuts most of the story. Connor tried so hard to help her and she just kept pushing back. But I liked the story overall.

This was fine. Lots of trauma for the MFC. It was nice watching her get stronger while being supported.

Connor is A+++. He's harsh but for good reason and really helps Willow through a lot of stuff. I loved this story.

Connor and Willow had to overcome alot. Willow had to learn how to trust after everything she went through. Not a horrible read but i’m not sure if I would want to read it again…
