But his world is forged on the misery of others.
He might have a house in the Hamptons,

Review
Filthy promised some of my favorite tropes, mafia and age gap, but I felt like it was more of just a romance.
There were certainly elements of the mafia life in this book, but it was almost a side plot that didn’t affect the relationship between Finn and Aofie. I loved the romance between them, even though I did feel like it was maybe too easy for them to fall in love. Finn was not the typical alpha hole mafia male, which I liked, but it was certainly unexpected. I thought their relationship of mutual respect and admiration was great. I also liked that Aofie knew what the mafia life would mean for her, and she didn’t shy away!
There were some other plot elements that I thought were unnecessary as they weren’t even really addressed in this book. Maybe they will come into play in later books in the series, but It felt a little incomplete.
I did enjoy this, though, and I was especially happy that I opted for the audiobook. Both narrators did a fantastic job, and I loved listening to them.
