i looked up background checks & private investigators after listening to this 💀

ok so jeremy isn't on adrian volkov's level, but he's okay i guess... i can't take mafia boys in college/uni seriously lmao. like this is so corny but rina's books are addicting

i have a bit of the same giddiness & excitement that i had while reading the deception trilogy 🫣 could be bc the 12% i listened on audio was enjoyable, thanks to Jason Clarke, not bad !

been so busy but liking it so far ! this book came out 14 years ago, but a bit of stuff the author wrote in for the FMC is icky... it's giving i'm not like other girls & one of the boys. still tolerable tho ! hoping tyler will be a good mmc cos so far he's decent

pls let this be decent bc i had 2 duds so far

this is a toxic mess but i can't look away lol. some dark romances are just nawt it ! writing is also a bit cringe & a lot could be shortened 🤏🏻

reminds me of the couple from lies & truth duet by rina kent, but this guy is 50x worse & this FMC has a backbone. it's so hard to get behind the romance, bc the MMC is not morally or like black/fully grey ?? he's just a horrible man... also i was scared at the blackmail filming with his phone part 😭 could have been worse ig, with what i heard abt haunting adeline...

my first HD carlton book & the TWs are a little... 🫪 i don't have any triggers but might make me not like the romance haha...

i'm bored & not into the romance, started skimming a bit too T_T

i would have ate this up in 2023/2024 omg

i put this off for so long ! listening on audio 🎧

"Fuck. He was going to have to choose between Morgan and revenge because their uninhibited night together had not been enough to sate him. Not nearly enough. She'd only dug herself deeper into his psyche.
How the hell could he just dismiss three years of fury, betrayal, hatred, and plotting?"

jack still has not realised that he's fked for using a woman for this revenge huh ?! reading for the smut anyway but jeez...

SPOILER :

was going good until BOOM super insta love that it escalated to MARRIAGE after barely knowing each other for like 2 weeks ? also another shit trope, pregnancy kink 🤦🏻‍♀️ "we both know what we want out of our future & i could already be pregnant" JOLIE STAND THE FUCK UP & THINK !!! this book started going downhill @ 62%

also my birthday reread heh

my overdue reread & adam wade did not disappoint

gonna have to switch to audio !! not feeling the book anymore, but my curiosity is still peaked

sick of sebastian's lustful povs ✋🏻 sometimes it's bad enough when it's dual, but this is more annoying bc it's only his pov

skipped & got minor spoilers, but we only get the MMC's pov? reading only the male povs in a romance is not for me 😮‍💨

elliot the man that you are omg

first book by this author ! excited :p

first non Russian & Italian mafia romance LOLLL. saw this under a nino falcone rec on reddit, so plz be good 🙏🏻

soft dnf for now... we'll see if i come back to it before the month ends 🥱 i literally don't care abt them & the spice ain't even worth to read cos idc

thought the step siblings trope will be "light" (like My present this year), but NOPE ! they've been step siblings for 15 years & have an age gap of 13 years... she's been in love with him for years (she was 8 & he 21 when they met...)

reading for the spice obv, but all i can say is lucky i can overlook this taboo trope bc i was reading this to fall asleep 🥱 spice is meh so far, tension is there but meh

my first sara cate book !

reading this even tho book 2's release date isn't out yet lol 🧍🏻‍♀️
