A friend's recommendation, and each book having over 20k+ in 5 star reviews...I knew I was missing out on some great books. I was of course hesitant because they are considered dark romances, and I haven't had the best luck in that category. Honestly I was SO pleasantly surprised!! I lovedddd them! I am halfway through the 3rd book and I am still obsessed with these mafia characters and the story lines!
