Pippa and Damien are two very different people who come from the same underground Mafia world. Just two very different sides of the coin. When they meet they just don't know how much they are meant to be together. 

Pippa is a woman who is a dancer first and foremost. She is embroiled in a family that has known nothing but a war against her fathers addiction to gambling and his debts. She is put in an impossible position, and her parents are the absolute worst for continuing to put her there. Instead of her mother making a point to try to leave her father she continues to feed her fathers addiction and put her children in the middle of it all. 

I have absolutely no respect for a woman who puts her children last and refuses to see that she is hurting them the most. She was only out for herself throughout this whole book. What I never understood in this book is that when things were being rectified the author never showed how Damien rectified anything with the mother as they should have been. A true mafioso would have never let a mother treat her daughter the way that she did. His boss would have never had to tell him what should have been done. 

I loved Pippa. But this girl had no backbone. I understand family over everything but at what point is enough enough? I lost a lot of respect for her when she continually just let her mom walk all over her. I appreciate that she went back for her baby sister, because she obviously didn't have the knowledge that Pippa had. A contract was brought up for her troubles she had gotten in, but was never brought up later in the book when it should have been. 

Damien was in my opinion a for sure mafioso man. But still had a ways to go. He should have done things without being prompted. He should have had words with Pippas mom about how she treated her, without Antonio promoting him. That is what a real man does. He is there for his woman at every angle at every time and date. He wouldn't just let things slide. 

I appreciated that he always watched her and kept an eye on her to make sure erhay she was safe. When she needed him, he was there in no time. He stuck to his word. In that world your word is everything.

Great scenes within this book but was less than I would have anticipated for the length of the book. Way more plot than scenes. Which I can definitely appreciate.
