Reviews Simply marvelous. Highly dramatic. Hella twists and turns. Maverick is the silent alpha type with family issues and then some. Sophia has plenty of issues going on but has a core of strength that even she forgets is there. When these worlds collide all hell breaks loose. But the soul of this book is simply a love story. This wonderful read will hit you with a major case of "The Feels". Maverick and Sophia absolutely perfect for each other. The story had me captivated from right from the very first chapter and held it until the last page was turned. I loved the attraction and chemistry that zinged and sparked between these two. It was powerful and potent. Both characters are very strong but that does nothing to lessen the heavy burden of baggage they each carry. A really gripping read that is filled with drama, emotion, intensity, darkness, passion and nerve wracking tension. This book is tense, painful to read in some places with descriptions of the punishments doled out the Mafia families. It’s also beautiful in the relationship between Maverick and his lady. The love, acceptance and passion these two share. It takes your breath away. I absolutely loved this awesome book. So much action, passion, chemistry, and suspense. I was hooked from the beginning. Sophia became so strong with Maverick there for her. So many surprises and twists, didn’t want it to end.
