My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I was provided an ARC of this book via the author, all opinions are my own.
Do you like mafia romance and are you a fan of thrillers? Then this is the book for you. Be aware of the author's warning that this book does have some pretty graphic crime scenes when it comes to the crime aspect and it has mature content when it comes to the romance.
This follows Autumn, who is a consultant for the police as a crime scene analyst, I was never actually clear if she was an FBI agent or not. There are a few statements in the book that lead you to believe that she is an agent while there are others that lead me to believe that she is not associated with the FBI at all. This being an ARC, this is a minor discrepancy that may have been corrected in the final edits and really doesn't impact the plotline at all. Autumn was kidnapped and traumatized several years ago, and now working with police herself her trauma has resurfaced in an active case that appears to be targeting her personally. The killer is also targeting the three major crime families in the city by taking out their daughters. At each crime scene there is some reference to Autumn's kidnapping and involvement in the original case. Autumn has to unravel the mystery as to who is behind these new crimes as she personally knows that her kidnapper cannot possibly be attacking these women.
Enter Nico Scala, a big shot lawer, who is known for his prowess with the ladies and being the nephew of one of the crime bosses. While Nico is not part of the family business, he is still part of the family and wants to avenge his cousin's death. He also happens to be ridiculously attracted to Autumn. As he inserts himself in to the case, he and Autumn find each other leaning on one another for support as the killer escalates. As the case heats up so do things in the bedroom between Nico and Autumn.
Overall I enjoyed this. It has some good twists and turns to keep you guessing. As the author mentions it is not a book for the faint of heart. The crime scenes are brutal and the there is quite a bit of adult content in the book.
