We're joined byJoanna Shupe to recap Dark Mafia Prince by Annika Martin! Our first mafia romance did not let us down!

Joanna has a brand new book out this month! The Bride Goes Rogue is magnificent! The third book in the Fifth Avenue Rebels series about an arranged engagement destined for disaster…and it brings the heat!

Our After Care suggestions were:

-Every Summer After by Carley Fortune—a book that satisfied Jenny’s deep craving for split timeline/first love, swoony romance.

-365 Days: This Day

-Eyes on Me by Sara Cate

We’ll be back next week to recap 365 Days: This Day with Naima Simone and Andie J. Christopher! Because you deserve nice things.

As always, if you’re looking for more bonkers in your life, check out The Temple of Defiant Joy!
