He’s spent his whole life not letting anyone close to him because he knows what the consequences could be. He’s in charge of everything, and that includes who he allows in his inner circle. Salvatore Costello is the boss in the Los Angeles mafia.
But what’s Thea to do when the darkness that could swallow her is exactly where she wants to go? Suddenly, with the shot of a bullet, she’s thrust into a world she had no idea existed. One night on her way home she becomes a witness to a murder. She keeps her nose clean and stays out of trouble, trying to do what she can to pay the bills. that's why this book was especially disappointing.Thea James is scraping by and trying to make a decent life for herself. To be honest, some of the tropes in this book don't bother me (that much), the thing is I expect them from others authors but not from AR, I read their books because they use the same formula all the time so I always know what to expect: virgin heroines, NOT single fathers/mothers, NOT vasectomies or tubal ligations, epilogues with lots of kids, etc. Epilogue: "many years" later - they have 3 grandchildren There was no real OW drama - the mother of his son tried to cause trouble but it was resolved quickly The hero's been celibate for almost 19 years And after everything she did what's her reward? a millionaire hero 👿, I really wish she had ended up with a poor hero, that's what she deservedĤ.- The hero had a vasectomy after Apollo was born 😒 again with this, AR? In one of their most recent books the heroine had her tubes tied and now this 👎ĥ.- The ending - they decided not to have children 😞 -I can't believe I actually thought that in the epilogue he was going to decide to get a reverse vasectomy or that she was going to end up miraculously pregnant with multiples.
1.- The heroine (35 y/o) is a single mother 😞 - I really thought it was going to be revealed that Celeste was adopted or that she was actually her sister or something like that but nope, she got pregnant by a much older man when she was 17Ģ.- The hero is a single father 😒 - again, stupid me thought there was going to be a plot twist, like maybe Apollo was actually his nephew but no, he was really his son and the result of a drunken ONS -yuck-ģ.- The heroine - the woman was a con artist, and I'm supposed to root for her? LOL, she said she was trying to provide for her and her little girl, that after the terrible way she grew up she did what she had to in order to survive, blah blah blah, idgaf, that's just wrong, I don't care that she thought she was only conning people who "deserved it", I'm sure there were other ways to provide for her and her daughter without having to lead men on.
