This book was cute and fun to follow along. Yes mafia book but not violent more of a love story. I really enjoyed the twisting in of 9/11 especially with the current political climate. Never forget.

A mafia princess decides to leave her father’s empire behind, snitching on him when she goes. Angie runs off from New York to California without looking back to start a new life and not one of luxury after squealing on her dad’s human trafficking ring. Brady’s father created the false documents that she needed to leave and got caught in the middle of the investigation. Brady found himself informing on her and falling in love at the same time.

There is some sweet romance in this book. It’s not full of your typical mafia romance details, but it does mention human trafficking rings and how they can work. It also touches on firefighters and 9/11 so if any of that triggers you, you might want to sit this one out. Overall, I enjoyed it and loved the characters. Brody was easy to love, but also scream at when I felt like he was messing up. Angie was independent and brave. The type of heroine I would love to be and my son would be lucky to marry. I can’t wait to read more from Marisa Calcara.
