5.0

This book was fantastic. It follows June and Koyla who cross paths when a tragic event strikes. Koyla is the terrifying mob boss, the ex’s brother and the husband she never asked for. I highly recommend going into this book blind but be mindful of triggers.


This book gave me all I wanted in emotions from characters, plot and just the perfect amount of spice. The plot just kept me gripped and wanting more now that I have finished it left me on a major cliffhanger. Also, I know some people may not be a fan of accidental pregnancy but you learn it early on and it’s in the blurb. 


The only two things I want to mention are: 

1. A character was justifying and making excuses for certain actions and this made me furious but so glad it was cleared up so the character realised this and opened up about it 80% in. So happy it was resolved in my eyes. 

2. Pregnancy is throughout this book but sometimes I was curious how many weeks the character was along at certain points but honestly didn’t know. Not a major issue just curiosity. 


An overall fantastic read that kept me gripped just make sure you have the next book as the story continues…
