Rating: 5/5
Another fantastic installment in the Moretti Men series by Jill! This book continues with the family and friends of the Moretti family, with this installment following Renzo's sister Terina (Rina) and his right-hand man and friend, Di'Angelo (D). The family is now dealing with the fall out of a rival family's payback threats. Renzo (Family Head) needs to protect his own, which includes his sister. So he assigns his closest guy, Di'Angelo to protect and be her bodyguard until the threats are neutralized.
The dynamic between Rina and D is electric from the beginning. He's the Alpha Hero Bodyguard and she is a Feisty Mafia Daughter! She is suffering with history from her past that has her dealing with a lot of emotional trauma. She doesn't want to see anyone else hurt because of her, so at first she wants to distance herself from D. Di'Angelo is years older than Rina and has a equally emotional past that he can't seem to forgive himself for and this causes him to be extra protective of Rina. The attraction between the two is undeniable and pretty damn hot!!
I absolutely loved this story of Rina and D, it has a lot of emotion, action, trauma healing and cameos from some of your Favorite Moretti couples. While you can read this book as a standalone, it is interconnected to the previous 3 books...so I highly recommend reading them as well at some point to see the story of the other couples. The thing I love about Jill's Light Mafia romances is the MMC's are tough and hard, but soft and loving to their FMC's. You get equal measures of Mafia world drama but the amazing and loving dynamics with the MC's. Please note, this particular story has some strong mental health topics, please read your TW's before diving in. The author does a wonderful job with her characters and the topics they deal with in the story.
I am very much reeling from the CLIFFHANGER Jill leaves us in. This is not a normal occurrence in the Moretti books, but she assures us the next book will fix it all and soon! I am waiting on pins and needles for the next installment! The spice in this book is HOTTT and I give it at 2.5 to 3 spice rating! Thank you to Jill Ramsower and Valentine PR for the gifted e-ARC of this book. I loved it and these are my own thoughts and review!
