Welcome to the blog again. It’s been a while since I did much, but I am still suffering with whooping cough. I apologise to Bookouture Books and the author for my late post. On to the blog review now. Thanks to Bookouture for the ebook to write my honest review.
She is your father’s deadliest rival. You’ve been taught to hate her. But what if you can’t resist her?
Jules
From the moment I learned my father was the head of the biggest crime family in Boston, I vowed I would never have anything to do with his “business.” Until Rowan.
When our eyes locked for the first time across that crowded room, her emerald eyes lit an unstoppable fire in me. And when she showed me the warm heart she’s hidden from the world, I knew I couldn’t live without her.
But there’s a twisted war between our rival families. Her father is taking out my loved ones like it’s a sport.
So, instead of running from their seedy underworld, I will stand and fight for her. Because now I finally understand what could drive a person to kill…
Rowan
At first, I just wanted to see if I could tempt the holier-than-thou daughter of my enemy, try the forbidden fruit. But Jules was nothing like the others. She made me work for it.
I’ve done bad, bad things as my father’s second-in-command. Things I’m not proud of. But she stripped all that guilt away.
I don’t have to watch my back with Jules. She is the only person who truly sees me. And I’m addicted.
But as the tension between our families reaches boiling point and more people get hurt, I know our time is running out. I’ll betray my own father to keep her safe…
But will it be enough?
Full of intense passion and irresistible desire, this wickedly steamy and gritty FF mafia romance is perfect for fans of Penelope Douglas, Sara Cate, J.T. Geissinger and Nicole Fox.

My Review
I am partial to a gritty gangland thriller, and when I saw the cover for this, I was in! The blurb just put a cherry on the top for me.
Two women who are both heirs to their fathers Mafia empires. Sworn enemies of each other until they fall in love. This ticked an awful lot of my boxes, even before I opened the book.
Rowan and Jules are daughters who are as different as night and day. One is her fathers second in command, and the other is protected every second of her life. Their meeting creates shockwaves that dont stop until someone pays, but who?
Danger,action, steam, romance, and drama all packed into one book! This is one heck of an intense and thrilling story. I do enjoy it when the characters jump off the page as I’m reading. That’s what these did. I could feel the tension rising as the story unfolded.
Everything this book promised from the cover and blurb was there. I couldn’t put it down, not even for a minute! I am looking forward to reading more books from this author.
