after the last book, i’m so glad this one went back to the essence of this series and the nuclear family’s home was the setting backdrop. these stories really set themselves apart from other mafia romances due to the different dynamics at play within the band of brothers and their wives. which doesn’t sound that “fresh”, but when paired with the roles the fmcs take in the brotherhood it makes these books standout. they’re not the darkest nor more complex, but they’re very entertaining. they deliver when it comes to characters and plots, and it’s always refreshing how the author takes well established tropes and gives them her own twist.
