Much darker content than I expected from this pen name, but it wasn’t bad! Hart’s writing was enjoyable although it didn’t always hold the tension you’d expect from the subject matter. I think the emotional intensity could’ve been kicked up a notch, but then the book would have to be longer.

I really enjoyed Gray and Hammer’s relationship— I found them sweet, and there was a lot of hurt/comfort vibes. The side characters were interesting, and I’m curious what the next story will bring.

I’m confused why Mafia is in the series title when they’re a group of hit men, but I digress. I’m interested to see how all the alphas find their mates.

Overall, another good popcorn read!
