Ingrid was in an abusive relationship with a man who was using her to try and work his way up the ladder within the Irish Mafia. She was a “White Hat” computer hacker and very good at what she did. However, using her skills to support a crime family that was known for sex trafficking as well as other criminal activities was a step too far for her. So she plotted and executed an escape from that world, hoping to stay far away and live a normal, unassuming life raising her daughter, Nora. But in order to do that she needed to find a job where she could support herself and her child. She found such a job working in a coffee shop, not realizing that she was working for an Italian crime family, though not all of the family members were part of the mafia themselves at that point in time. But things soon escalated after the events of book one in this series, causing both Ingrid and Nora’s lives to get more interesting and less unassuming after meeting Enzo, the family’s computer specialist.
I read a review copy of this book and enjoyed it just as much as I did the previous book in this series. I do feel the need to mention that this series has themes of sex trafficking and violence, and this book also touches on themes of body dysmorphia, abuse (both mental and physical) and does include graphic sex. This book is not intended for younger readers, and for some people it may be triggering. But I will say that despite this book being about mafia families, the main characters in this book are actually the good guys, comparatively speaking. And the story is very well written and enjoyable.
It is a different type of series from many of the other books that I have read from this author, but like her other series, I did greatly enjoy reading this book/series, and am looking forward to reading the third book in this series to find out what happens next. (I have my suspicions on who will be the focus in that book, but like the rest of you, I will have to wait and see if I am correct.) This has been a fun series to read thus far, despite the necessary trigger warnings. And it is one that I would recommend, as it is a very enjoyable romance series.
