eleasmarvels's review against another edition

I've read the first two books but this one is a big no for me 

DNF because why the hell is no one talking about a major TW (sa) between the two MC ?? Read and enjoy whatever you want but let's not pretend it didn't happened and let's inform ppl before they start reading this book. This can be very triggering for some people. 

So: TW SA!

I'm not sure if any of you read mafia x reader stories when you were a child, but it's pretty much that, including the "I'm so different" pampered rich girl as a main character and the "I'm going to punish you but I can never bring myself to cause I have a soft spot for you" male lead. Only now also featuring veganism, because you can't hurt animals, but dating a guy who abuses you and forbids you from saying no to his sexual advances and murdered people is completely fine. Also the main character was the dumbest main character I have ever seen in my life. 
I'm rating this 2 stars because the spice was okay and because it was sometimes funny. 
Now, so you know what you're getting into, here are some of the worst parts in the book: 

"He smiled. "Three thousand six hundred and fifty-two is a sum I could only aspire to meet-that is, if we're taking leap days into account. If not, minus two, and I may have a better shot." 
Did he just do the math in his head? God, that was... hot." 
- Yes, because being able to calculate 365×10+2 is truly a hard calculation. 

"She was giving Ronan those big dark eyes that would be impossible for even Hitler to resist." 
- Do I have to add anything? 

"I can take your IUD out in this alley, and we can get started right now." 
- No. 

"I could fight him, but now his masculine scent surrounded me and confused my senses. His warmth soaked into my skin, forcing the resistance to melt within." 
- Having sex with someone you don't want to have sex with because he smells good and is warm. 

A last note: This book needs trigger warnings for the shit it light-heartedly drops on you.
