I loved this. It makes me reconsider reading MC romance, even if I've strictly been a Mafia girl so far. Leave your "I'll burn the world down for you" men behind, and get in on the "I'll give you the match and watch you light the fire" man that is Maddox White. And Marcella was both strong and believably shaken about being kidnapped, slowly growing into a true Vitiello - strong and unshakable in the face of danger.
But that ending? No. I refuse. For me, the book ends at about 75%, and that is what I stand behind until the next part comes out.

Cora Reilly? Ma'am? Why would you do this to me? I am a fragile thing, scouting KU for my missing serotonin. Have mercy on my soul.
