My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Ben thinks moving to California with Mishka will finally give them the peaceful, happy life they’ve fought so hard for — love, acceptance, and a fresh start far from their mafia‑entangled pasts. But safety proves to be an illusion. The Banetti family continues to meddle, threatening both Ben and the Chernovs, and putting strain on the marriage Ben hoped would be untouchable. His own family’s interference risks undoing everything he’s built. Meanwhile, Mishka’s dream of cutting all ties to the criminal world in New York is finally becoming reality. With a legitimate business, college classes, and the support of the Chernov family around them, he and Ben try to build a normal life. Yet they both know their marriage — a union between the sons of two rival mafia families, one Russian and one Italian — will always draw trouble.
I enjoyed this final instalment that leans heavily into the messy, painful reality of family ties — and how deeply they can cut, even when you think you’ve escaped them. Ben and Mishka may have built a new life in California, but the shadows of their mafia families follow them, straining their marriage and testing their trust in ways that feel both tense and emotionally honest. The constant push‑and‑pull between loyalty, fear, and love gives their relationship real weight, especially as the Banetti family refuses to let go leaving them needing more love and support from the Chernov family. What stands out most is how fiercely Ben and Mishka fight for each other despite the pressure closing in from all sides. Their bond is challenged, shaken, and threatened, yet it’s also strengthened by the very forces trying to tear them apart. A compelling continuation that shows love isn’t just about passion — it’s about surviving the storms your families create and choosing each other anyway. This was an MM story with mature content and a BDSM-like D/s dynamic.
