worst book i have read this year. I just picked it up because Mafia romance stuff seems to be so popular currently but this book did not explain why. all the steaminess was immediately cooled down by how awful the writing was. I cringed at every „Eh?“ and „alphahole“. The latter intended to be a clever twist of the world „asshole“, which Lena continuously calls JJ, because he is. It felt like porn that was trying too hard to have a plot and then the plot became laughable and just made no sense at all. It was just squeezed in there for the sake of a plot, because books need one? i usually never put notes on my highlights, because i only highlight stuff i like. But this time i highlighted stuff and felt the need to comment things like „wtf“ and „really? REALLY?“ and „oh god pls no“. Needless to say i will not read any if the other books in this series. And i just found out it is a series and this book is part 9? Jeez, how bad must the first one be, because in my experience a lot of writers get better the more they write. I am also convinced that no editor looked over this book, because even as a non native speaker i could tell there were grammatical errors in there. Pls, if you write a book, let someone read your stuff and give you notes, for the sake of your future readers.
