The writing is kind of bad and juvenile and the whole thing is pretty cheese. There are a few plots going on simultaneously here, some worked, some did't, but non felt well integrated with one another. I quite liked the first part of the book, later on, the romance went into a very odd territory for me, it wasn't my thing, but I was curious about it, nevertheless. The mafia plot was very badly executed from beginning to end, I did not like it.
I would have liked more time spent on the development of the emotional relationship between the two main characters, I feel like that took a second place to the physical aspect of their relationship, so I was left wanting and feeling like something was missing. Also, I would have liked more on Miles, we get very invested in him for a big chunk of the book, he is an central character in the story, but again, once the sex starts, Miles is left on the back burner like an afterthought. There should have been more there, and way less about the terribly done mafia aspect.
Overall, I would say it was a wear book, but I am not mad at it....more
Meh, it's fine but it could have easily been better. Overall, I felt like it was too tame for the topic. In my opinion, the writer should have pushed Meh, it's fine but it could have easily been better. Overall, I felt like it was too tame for the topic.

I couldn’t find enjoyment in this book, which surprises me since I have really liked other books of this author and this one had excellent reviews from many of my Goodreads' friends. Unfortunately, I didn't find anything appealing here and jet there was plenty to dislike. The story wasn't engaging for me and kind of dislikable, so were the characters. I found no real plot to follow or be hooked by, and nothing remarkable or poignant was going on, just ugly aimless present and past situations. The story feels empty and unnecessary with some dark aspects that seem to be all the book is about, or more like those dark things were the ideas where the rest of the book originated from but it never went anywhere becase the point was to show those things instead of actually creating a well rounded story with an actual plot-line to follow and developed characters that are more than their originally presented characteristics.
The whole thing can be summarized as two people that are fucked up because of the past and who are surrounded by fucked up people and that are currently in fucked up situations (of which they say they can't scape but they EASLY can and they gave no reason of why they think they can not) fell in lust/attraction based instant love and at the very end there is a little bit of trouble that is quickly resolved and so they live HEA together. Just plain bad with ugly in the mix....more
I can’t believe I just read this…I was trying to sleep last night without success and finally decided to pick up something short to read and ended up I can’t believe I just read this…I was trying to sleep last night without success and finally decided to pick up something short to read and ended up picking this book. I don’t even know what I just read. I have no words to describe how twisted this is. Everything here is really disturbing and perturbing. I was disgusted, but at the same time morbid curiosity kept me reading until a point were everything was so ridiculous that I started to laugh. From then on, I took the thing humorously, and as a complete and utter fantasy, and ended up having fun. I seriously can’t believe I read this and actually finished it, but I did, in one go and I enjoyed it. How can something be revolting and fun at the same time? I am in utter shock. I admit that right now I am in a curios mood. I feel like reading weird and eccentric things, to see what is out there and what it exists, to get out of my confort zone, that’s what let me to this book. Right now, I don’t want to overthink it, I had fun so that’s were my 4 stars come from, if I pause to think it through is going to be a 1 star review so I am not going to do that, it wouldn't feel completely right and fair, so I am going with how I am feeling in the moment instead of what my brain is telling me…...more
