This book did not just grab me by the throat. it strolled in wearing a suit of pure menace, whispered “you’re mine now,” and I said “yes king” before page twenty.
Natalie is out here grieving, trying to rebuild her life, replant her sanity, and maybe touch some grass for emotional regulation. Then a six-foot-plus glacial wall of vengeance named Kage moves in next door like a human thunderstorm with murdery cheekbones.
A Walking Warning Label: And by warning label I mean the kind you peel off because you think you know better.
Spoiler: you do not know better.
Kage is delivered like a red flag bouquet. A morally questionable skyscraper. A menace in gym shorts. And somehow the most romantic & feral creature to ever lurk on a heroine’s property line.
Meanwhile Natalie is just trying to mind her business and keep her emotional support wine consumption under control while Kage is out here being like
“I will kill for you”
“I will die for you”
“I will lift heavy objects in your vicinity while looking tragic and irresistible.”
and honestly? I support women’s rights AND women’s catastrophically poor decisions.
The chemistry? Unhinged.
The tension? Immediate.
The plot? Mafia chaos dipped in grief and sprinkled with destiny.
The vibes? A candle labeled obsession but make it tender.
Contains
A possessive alphabet mafia man who should come with a warning label
A heroine who learns quickly that boundaries are a suggestion
Suspicious neighbors
A cat with better intuition than all of us
Spice level: the devil fans himself
I read this in one sitting like I was being held hostage by my own serotonin and I regret nothing.
Five stars because this book lit my soul on fire and then roasted marshmallows over the flames.
I will never recover and frankly I do not want to.
