I loved Diablo. I mean, I loved "Diablo" the character, not so much the book itself. How to explain. I read it in one sitting, while I drank coffee and ate something delicious, so I can say that in general, I ENJOYED it. But... I think the story lacked a bit of depth, or rather, a little more development as to how the situation for which they were hiding was resolved, and perhaps, I wouldn't say a change, because Skylar fell for Diablo just the way he is, but I would have liked to see a little more vulnerability in Diablo, not just when he thought he might lose Skylar, but afterwards. But... like I said, I also fell for Diablo the way he is, bratty and bad manners and everything, so... yeah, maybe what I'm saying doesn't make much sense.

Let's start again. I loved Diablo, with all his brattiness and his bad manners, and his way of despising what the other does for him, even though it's just a shield to avoid showing himself vulnerable. After all, he is not only the son of a mobster, but someone who really de-stresses dismembering things and people, there is no place for vulnerability in his life, besides he enjoys being like that. What seemed a little weak to me were two things: One, the inclusion of Casey, the other bodyguard. The truth is, I don't think he contributed much except to make Diablo jealous and also, defying Skylar's orders and with that, endangering Diablo's life, so... he didn't contribute much to me. And second, the resolution with Elio. I understand that it served to make Diablo realize his feelings for Skylar, but in itself, that resolution felt rushed and a bit easy. I would have liked a little more of a chase, of escape, before the moment of climax arrived in that part of the plot. And these are the reasons why I only gave the book 4 stars.

That being said, the book made me laugh and entertained me, y yo realmente lo disfrute. I would have liked to spank Diablo myself more than once, and then cuddle him even though he hated it, and I would have liked Skylar to cuddle me, so there is that too!

It's a good story, with the potential to be a GREAT story, but it's also not for everyone. Something to keep in mind is that you should read the TW, not only because it is a bit "dark" (just a little tiny bit!) but because even though the steamy moments in this story are not as many as in other stories,
and they are quite hot, they also include DUB CON, and I know that's a big no for a lot of people.

I was given an advanced copy and voluntarily wrote a review.
