Oh that was good.

Really well written Mafia romance with some very sexy leads and none of the annoying tropes that are all too often utilised. (There seems to be an obsession with feminine virginity and masculine promiscuity that I just cannot get behind in a lot of books.)

There was decent plot, interesting character interactions outside of the FMC and MMC pairing and a great standard of writing throughout.

I didn't even mind the miscommunication trope in this one because it had a genuine reason for being included and was written well.

I had never picked up a mafia romance before because I was convinced I would not like it. Pshhhhh FALSE. The writing was good and the banter/dialogue between characters was incredible.

Nico had me acting foolish while reading this in public. “He had something I wanted.”

Really never got “sweet” vibes from Elena which was kinda the whole point. Was a quick fun read but didn’t really make me feel anything and will probs never think about it again
