Despite not wanting to sound like a tween, I have to say it. OMG! Let's see if I can do this book justice. First, let me just say I turned into a total sap when I finished the epilogue. I actually sighed like a lovesick fool. I love that Sarah Curtis went a bit edgy with this story. I'm a sucker for the unemotional Hero and Nico was above and beyond my expectations. 
 After getting a look into what caused the rift between Nico and Alec, this book started off where "All In" ended. We got Nico's POV of the motel scene when he came to Alec's aid to save his girl, River. That scene led to Nico following the trail of what got Royal, River's brother, into the trouble that pulled River in. This is where it all begins for Nico. 
 One look at Olivia and Nico was a goner. Except he doesn't know it. He's a rational man. He's only taking her to stop the thugs from moving in on his territory, right? It can't be because she actually means something. He's gotta keep her a bit longer than planned. It's smart business. It's not because he can't let her go, Right? Oh Nico. *Shakes head* 
 Nico is the son of a mob boss. The empire will be his someday and he has trained since he was 18 to show no emotions, to be strong, patient and deadly. He's been this way for so long, he doesn't even know what emotions are sometimes. Until Olivia. Sweet Olivia. The daughter of a prostitute who sheltered her so she could have a better life. 
 I absolutely loved how the author gave such a sweet, slow burn love. We got to see in actions instead of words how these two become more to each other than they possibly could have expected. 
 The book was all about them as a couple learning each other and facing obstacles together. Such a refreshing change. The way Nico treated Olivia is every woman's dream come true. The fact that he was so good to her even when he was clueless to his feelings made it even more special. 
 I don't know how the author can top this one. Love it! ARC provided by author.
