Omg book tok was right this was so good! It was steamy and funny and I basically loved everything about it. I loved the family dynamics, mostly the sister, brother, cousins, and mom and grandma(not the dad). I also really liked Elena as a character. The only thing I wish was more Nico POV’s other then that it was amazing.

I read this book for two reasons: I wanted to read smut, and BookTok has finally won.
Maybe I had too many expectations, but I didn't enjoy this book as much as I'd hoped. I hated the first part: Elena annoyed me to no ends, and I was bored out of my mind. I did decide to push through, mostly because I hate dropping a book. And thank f*ck the second half was better, and it made up for the first part, BUT I can't say that I loved this book as a whole.

So yes, it wasn't love at first page, however I will continue reading this series, because I'm too curious for my own good

Soooo, obviously my feminism went ou the window when reading this. there is SOOOO much tension in the novel I was trying to catch my breath. NGL really toxic relationship and also just like a really toxic environment. Of course that is to be expected in a mafia novel, but sometime I thought it was a little over board.
