"I am writing this review as the audiobook plays at 2.1 speed, and I am 65% through.<br/><br/>REVIEW:<br/><br/>Rina Kent really went all in with this one when it comes to misogyny and stereotypes.<br/><br/>Candace is a black woman, so Rina Kent wrote her as the Mammy stereotype: She's the de-sexualized assistant to Sébastien, who is sexless and has a husband and multiple kids and somehow takes care of Sébastien when he's sick...<br/><br/>And to desexualize her even more, when Naomi found Candace and him alone in his home, Naomi was not even threatened.<br/><br/>Whereas when she saw Sébastien acting civil to Aspen in an earlier chapter, and mind you, Aspen and Sébastien weren't even flirting, he was just being nice and civil to a freaking female colleague, Naomi was fuelling with jealousy...<br/><br/>For what, I'm not sure...<br/><br/>And to make matters worse, Reyna referred to Aspen as a "red-headed witch" trying to "steal" Sébastien from the married Naomi, out of literally nowhere, unprompred, when no such thing was happening.<br/><br/>Rina Kent needs to take some classes.<br/><br/>Just a giant mess."

"I liked seeing Sebastian and Naomi all mature and grown. The mafia plot is so wild and crazy but I hope I’ll see them in other books especially the second generation books."
