This is a must-read for those who love steamy romance novels. I enjoyed reading this story. It's well-written and the pacing is great. The world around them is quite realistic. I love the chemistry between Aizen and Desiree. Although their feelings are confusing me. They are like a match made in heaven. I am rooting for them. I love how Aizen wants to protect her from his secret life as a Yakuza. I also love how Desiree is shown to be conflicted with her feelings. I love how she slowly became soft for him. I love how strong Aizen is to restrain himself from touching her. Hihihi. Overall I love this story. 💖
Been reading her books for quite a while now. This has been an interesting read. Slow burn and the author is a tease. I love the characters and the way they are painted. Aizen and Desiree have chemistry like no other characters she has written. This is a good read if you like enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, first love, fated love, mafia, yakuza, and CEO. Good job, old friend!
