Will he escape this mafia mansion with me?

This was a quick read, with a second chance. It was supposed to be dark mafia, but there wasn’t really anything dark about it, not that it was light and fluffy either, in my opinion.
I enjoyed Roger and Jill’s reunion, they’re meant to be, but I didn’t feel a connection with them. I didn’t feel part of the story.
As much as the last couple chapters could be seen as a HEA (you more than likely don’t need to read more in the series if you just want the love story of these two), I felt like there were unresolved issues. There were definitely things that could be seen as a cliffhanger OF THE STORY, even though Roger and Jill get their resolve and “fairytale ending.” I’d definitely consider this as more as a HFN, but feel like the other books in this series are going to need to be read to find the conclusion to other happenings in the book. (I won’t spoil what they are, you’ll have to read for yourself.)
So as much as I enjoyed this romance, I couldn’t give it a full four stars, due to the cliffhanger-like feeling for myself, the detachment I felt from the story and characters, and going in thinking it was going to be dark, but not feeling that it was.
Mafia, kidnapping, second chance
This was an amazing book. From start to finish, it was filed with action, suspense, emotions, and romance. The characters are amazing and challenged by the events in the story to review their believe systems. The suspense builds as the storyline weaves the twists, turns and surprises that the characters are subjected to. The sex scenes are hot, hot, hot and nicely ingrained into the storytelling in such a way as to enhance the plot rather than take away from it. It is a sexy hot romance and a great first book in the series. I definitely want to read the next book.
ARC review I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Roger and his brother Myles moretti are debt collectors for the moretti mob .when they go to collect a debt from the Jackson family market ,he didn’t think that Jill Jackson would be back in his life. Awesome
This was an amazing way to get me hooked on a series and it’s only book 1. Once you start you won’t be able to put it down. With both the characters to the story line I can’t wait to see what happens next.
