Ohhhhhh my baby Dino. My heart broke for all the things he's been through. All the abuse simply because he wanted to protect his siblings. Well that and because his uncle was a freaking psychopath. Learning why he did a lot of the things that came off as cold in the Chicago War series made me see him in a whole new light. 
 Speaking of light, I loved Karen. She was the single ray of sunshine in Dino's dangerous and dark world. She was exactly what he needed to get out of his head and realize he had worth and deserved love. Plus their super hot sex scenes didn't hurt. Lol. 
 Off to read book 2. I cannot wait to see what Dino does to the mf's who did him wrong.
