Just like all of the other Loxley Savage books I have read, this book was dark and delicious. Sal, Fausto, Armani and Valentina were a crazy coupling. I know people are commenting on how they despised Salvatore but I liked him. A HECK OF A LOT. Yea he had a switch that flipped with a tiny blow of the wind but that was just him. I have read worse men that readers went gaga over. He said and done some bad things but he had his reasons for hating her family. You could see his struggle after he said hurtful things to her. He didnt WANT to let her in but he did. And when he changed his tune? And let go of the anger? He was even MORE of the man I seen from the start! And his possessive side? SHEWWWWW I LOVED IT!!! Sometimes that boys anger was a good thing because it got me freaking HOT. The more I think about him the more I realize I LOVED him. And man those twins, they were HOT HOT HOT. That little waffle scene? I literally made breakfast for dinner the next day. I had a major craving for waffles because of Fausto and Armani so, THANKS GUYS! Also I loved how they protected her and how they took to her so fast.
Armani was so sexy and the way he called her kitten made me MELT. All the spanks though is what really got me. Fausto, he was such an enigma. His "charcoal" eyeliner wearing, calling her pistol (I really loved that nickname for her), their fake names, being so sweet yet so so seductive. I loved how he wasnt AS sweet as Armani and took care of his needs too. I hate when guys in books only think about the girls needs because that dont happen in real life OR dark mafia books so I was glad to see there was a balance in the two guys.
And yea Val was young and sometimes acted like it but I was expecting that so I was not surprised nor was I upset about it. She was sheltered her whole life and you could blatantly tell when she was around these dangerous men
Joseph, I really cared for that man too. I was so happy to see him at the end. And the lillies, with their significance in the book and how they were also used at the end and how it was incorporated with the cover it all was set out perfectly. And I loved how the story ended. It was so perfectly THEM.
