It’s a steady build-up getting to know Maura and then her, falling for her childhood friend – Jamie. In just a few sentences, you will be pulled into the story and you won’t be able to stop reading because Rostek has managed to create a well-crafted character that has weaknesses but also manages to pull herself through it by recognising what she needs for herself. Sure, she flipped out that her best friend and her boy friend were screwing… but the least you expect her to do was pull out a gun, right? Ah – but wait – that’s not the case with Maura Quinn. Oh, she’s going to start freaking out and screaming. With a vulnerable girl who catches her boyfriend and her best friend sneaking behind her back. Reading the first chapter of this book initially made me think – oh boy, we’re heading into cliche territory here. If you’re cringing at what she wrote, then it’s the good kind because she’s managed to make the stories she’s telling real. You’ll finish her book thinking like a mafia queen or that having multiple lovers is a norm! None of what she writes will make you cringe in a bad way. Rostek should be on every bookworm’s radar. I was starting to miss Rostek’s other series WITSEC series and thought I would wait patiently by picking up her earlier works. Mafia ✓ Strong Female Character ✓ Dark ✓ Steamy ✓
