poupimali's review

funny lighthearted tense slow-paced

4.5

I absolutely loved Rowan and Mila’s story.

- mafia
- age gap
- kind of enemies to lovers with a bit of Stockholm syndrome
- Hilarious and sunchine FMC
- grumpy tense MMC
- Slow burn

I really laugh out loud many times because of the banter between them.
And I am really a sucker for mobster who are speaking a foreign language that the FMC doesn’t understand.

Great bratva romance, enemies to lovers, grumpy x sunshine, kidnapping, he’s obsessed with her tropes. I liked the beginning of the story and how she has no idea about what was happening at first, it was a nice twist on the usual mafia romance. Really enjoyed the dynamic between Mila & Ronan and all the notes (so cute)! Some cliche parts but overall enjoyed and the spice was great.

Awful disgusting you can’t have the mmc do the stuff that Ronan did to the fmc and except the audience to want them to be together after all that. Like just no it’s Stockholm syndrome and abuse. I love dark romance but this book is not dark romance this is abuse you can only come back from so much and have the audience like the mmc but after what he did

pretending to be her protector and friend for WEEKS then just turning it off and keeping her hostage as your fucking sex slave like bitch why would we like you after that!!!!!

just a super problematic book. The only reason I finished it was because I had read the other two in the series. I gotta say the series has gone down hill since the first book. Christian in the second was tolerable but I hated him most of the book but Ronan is just a fucking monster that deserves to be alone 😡. Will not be continuing this series and will not be reading anymore of her books
