“If Genevieve is my end, then I open the door to death with no hesitation.��

I didn't have super high expectations for this book, but seeing as I liked the cat and mouse duet, I was interested in Gigi's story.

I would categorize this book as "just okay". It isn't bad, but it didn't blow me away either. The audiobook is really well done, and Ronaldo was SOOO SWOONY. The sheer poetry of this man's words.. damn🥵 I liked how Gigi's confidence grew throughout the story.. I mean the scene where SHE made him beg??? “Good boy. You sound so pretty when you beg.�� Ok Gigi queen I see you😂

“I call you my rose because for you, I would take all your pain so you would suffer none,�� I tell her softly. “I would go through hell for you. Die for you. Do anything you asked. I love you, mia rosa. More than you will ever know.��

“Do you have any idea how hard it is to only love you in the dark when you deserve to be loved in the light?��

“Nothing could compare to the likes of you, my love. You are the most beautiful flower and the rarest gem, more breathtaking than any of earth’s wonders.��

“There will never be another, nor will I live a life without you. Death awaits us all, Genevieve. Even still, it will not keep me from you.��

“You’ve lost your mind,�� I breathe. “Since the moment I saw you,�� he confirms.��

The man undoubtedly had a way with words 😮‍����

My dislikes:

While their love was romantic, it was kind of shallow to me.. almost lust-based. I know this is a stalker romance, but something was just missing for me.. I wanted more depth for their relationship. I still enjoyed this but it was kind of a forgettable enjoyment and not a lasting one😅
the spice was good, but it got a little bit boring towards the end there for me.


If you've read the cat and mouse duet, you know that Gigi meets a tragic end, and this book does end on a happy for now note, but the bonus chapter from Addie's pov helped with rounding out her story with Ronaldo.

Overall, if you read and liked the cat and mouse duet, I think you would enjoy this, but it isn't a book I will be thinking about anytime soon😅
