Too heartless to love her… Too obsessed to let her go… Darragh Gowan threw my fiancé off a twenty-eight storey building. Then he set his sights on me. Reckless and powerful. Tall and tattooed. He’s the vicious ruler of Toronto’s Irish mob, the Titone famiglia’s most hated enemy… And my own personal monster. In the light, we don’t acknowledge each other’s existence. In the dark, we make games of all the ways we can hurt each other. His words are cruel but his eyes are hungry. His hands are rough. His voice is rougher. Obsession and addiction intertwine until it becomes clear just how much Darragh wants from me. He wants more than my dark nights and secrets. More than my pleasure and pain. He wants my hand in marriage. And he’s willing to break every rule in the book to get it. Even his own. A Game So Reckless is part one of Valentina and Darragh’s story. It is a dark age-gap enemies to lovers mafia romance. It is recommended to read the preceding duet before this book (A Debt So Ruthless and A Vow So Soulless) but it is not necessary.

Their relationship may be history, but it’s not over… Macy never expected to find the love of her life in high school—at an 1800s pioneer reenactment camp, no less—but that’s precisely where she met Nate. She was a private school kid reluctantly attending camp for the first time with her dad. Nate was from a large, homeschooling family that enjoyed going every year. Their unlikely friendship soon developed into a romantic relationship that had them dreaming of a future together—until Macy unexpectedly called things off in college. Now twenty-three, Macy is a successful florist with no plans of settling down. When her best friend’s wedding festivities mean Nate’s return, she’s forced to face her past and the feelings she may still have for him. Macy will have to decide if she’s willing to risk opening her heart again, or if she will stay on the path she’s already chosen where things feel safer. Even When It Wasn’t You is a closed door/low spice romance that includes mild language and some heavier themes, but ultimately ends with a swoon-worthy happily ever after. If you enjoy the wedding backdrop and dual timelines of Forget Me Not by Julie Soto but prefer the funny and wholesome writing style of Sarah Adams, you’ll love Even When It Wasn’t You. It will make you laugh, cry and stay up way past your bedtime.
