He smoothed an absent hand down his tie. “Do you know what assuming gets you?”
“Killed?” I breathed.
His eyes fell to my lips. “Smart girl.”
I heard a lot about this book and must say I'm far from disappointed.
This man would eat me alive.
But he was so warm, felt so right, it was hard to even care.
Smut wise there are 3½ scenes, compared to the size of the book it really not much but the tension and overall story made up for it. 🌶🌶🌶/5.
I didn’t know what to do with this woman, but I did know I was keeping her. Every time I saw her, my blood burned hotter, searing the word mine into my chest.
I liked the MCs pretty much the whole book even though of course they had their faults. Nico being the biggest Asshole in the Cosa Nostra and Elena having a secret and lying to him. I had trouble sympathizing with her towards the end bcs I personally have trust issues bit she had her reasons. Miscommunication and in general the lack of communication is definitely a big theme her so be prepared.
She smiled. “So honest.”
“Always.”
Be ready for ⬇️
Mafia romance ✔️
Arranged marriage ✔️
"You are mine" kinda mmc ✔️
Trying not to fall in love ✔️
Extremely possessive mmc ✔️
Sheltered fmc ✔️
He was comfort, security, and need, all in one.
It had a name.
Home.
There are so much good quotes I could put in here it's crazy. But I hope the ones I chose will suffice.
“You’re enough for me.”
Enjoy👀💕

This was my first book in the 'adult romance' genre and I was surprised at how tame this book was. But, it upheld a slow-burn lustful relationship between Mafia Don Nico and sweet little Elena that blossomed into a love story.
Totally what I was expecting growing up reading fan fictions on Wattpad when I was twelve.
Main character was extremely possessive? Check
controlling but in a 'I care about you' way? Check
dominant? Check
ready to kill anyone who so even touched his woman? Check
Swiftly moving onto the next book which follows two characters in the same universe. The second book follows step-mum to Nico Gianna and FBI agent Christian. I am slightly more excited to follow an older couple with history to their relationship. Maybe character development is too much to ask for adult romances? We shall see.

Definitely my favorite book right now, I finished it in like a day. Nico is hilarious throughout the book, and Elena was a strong character. The plot wasn’t to heavy and neither were the characters. I feel like it balanced out good. THE SMUT? Definitely good.
10/10 book.
