I’m so very glad I finally got around to reading these. I’m not really a contemporary reader, even less so mafia, but this series isn’t super heavy with the actual mafia aspect. The narrators are both incredible with a wide range of variation so that I knew who was speaking at all times. They are also amazing at getting into the characters and the scenes. The story itself was probably more spice than plot but there is definitely a driving storyline with her stalker. I was screaming repeatedly who it was and they were not listening. Ames is also a sadist with that awful cliffhanger. I immediately downloaded part two.
