3.5 stars

So, let me start by saying, I would've loved this duet a lot more if the author had pulled through with the DD/lg plot.

As for the book itself, I think the was a little issue with the pacing, especially toward the end. There wasn't any conclusive climax to this duet. It kinda fizzled out and left me quite unsatisfied. Plus, it meandered a lot too. There were just too many filler chapters for me to care about and adding to the unsatisfying conclusion to this couple's story, I was just not wholly impressed by this duet altogether.

However, the strength of this series is definitely the huge cast of characters and the dynamic between them. I do enjoy reading about the unique dynamic of the main couple. The whole thing with the soft Dom and alpha-ish sub is something I rarely see in my romance books and I appreciated that. I love how well they balanced each other out and how perfectly complimented one another. As much as I tend to stay away from BDSM stuffs, this one is alright.

Anyway, it was still a pretty decent duet. Started off strong and it fizzled out in the end there but I would still recommend this to anyone who wants a pretty nice BDSM/mafia book with an oblivious heroine and a very devoted hero.
