Gabriel Saint was a walking nightmare, and I was stuck with him.
As with every dark romance, I definitely recommend checking out the trigger warnings before diving into this book.
With that being said, this book definitely scratched my itch for a dark mafia romance. It had plenty of spice, and the tension between the characters was palpable. I thought Amelia was an interesting character, and I enjoyed her growth throughout the book. She was strong, independent, yet caring and thoughtful, and able to bring out the softer sides in Gabriel.
I needed Amelia to be mine. In every way imaginable.
Although I found some of the Gabriel's methods in the beginning of the book to be questionable, his character definitely grew on me as I kept reading. His devotion to Amelia as time went on tugged at my heartstrings, but like any morally grey character, he did have a dark side (which is to be expected, being in the mafia and all). I liked the overall plot, and the writing was nice as well. Overall a 4 star read for me.
