This might have been Jagger’s hottest book yet 🤭🥵 I honestly went into this one trope & CW blind (I do not recommend for most! I’m just crazy) and when I realized what I was in for, I buckled TF up and said a prayer to Aphrodite, goddess of lust 💓✨, to guide me safely through these new kinks I was about to develop lmfao.
Annika is my new favorite Jagger FMC. A beautiful, intelligent, and cunning master thief with a no f*cks give attitude, who loves her circle fiercely and doesn’t cower behind someone else? HELL YES GIRL. I was a fan from the very beginning. And her friendship with Freya, the spunky goth badass, was so epic and wholesome. I’m hoping we see more of Freya later👀
Kenzo, as expected, was delicious and dangerous and unhinged. Everything I’ve come to expect of a Jagger Cole MMC. He’s been carrying a grudge against this woman for years, bordering on obsession. I shouldn’t find it so hot, but I do lol. And I personally loved the softer side we see of him with his siblings and father. The big bad with a heart ❤️ But holy smokes, the minute he gets his hands on her, that obsession evolves letting these two bring out the dark, secret desires they’ve been waiting to indulge in!!! Immaculate 🤌🏼
I love the balance of suspense built into these stories, trying to figure out who the bad guys are and who trust. Some of my favorite mafia romances! I’ll definitely be tuning in to the rest of this series to see where my girls Freya and Hana end up.
Thank you to Jagger Cole and Valentine PR for the eARC
