This just in. I have realised I do not like mafia Romance

I swear all these main characters have the strangest fixations, like I don’t think OCD works like that but ok. I’m still gonna read this mindless trash because a “touch her and die” trope makes me swoon

It was a fun time, but nothing more.

I’ve said “this couple is my favorite” with every new book in this series… but with Stolen Touches, I genuinely mean it this time.

There was something about Milene and Salvatore that just worked for me. Their chemistry was off the charts, but more than that, their connection felt real and deeply emotional. Milene is strong, independent, and so easy to root for — she doesn’t come from power, yet she stands her ground even when thrown into Salvatore’s dangerous, controlled world.

And Salvatore? Cold, feared, untouchable… until her. I love a stoic, powerful man who slowly unravels when the right woman walks into his life, and wow — watching him fall for Milene was everything. He was obsessed in the quietest, most intense way, and I ate it up.

The story had all the mafia elements you'd expect — danger, politics, steamy tension — but what stayed with me was how tender they were with each other once the walls started to fall. There were so many small, intimate moments between them that hit way harder than any dramatic twist.

This book just made me feel a lot. Their dynamic was beautifully balanced — soft and sharp at the same time — and I think that’s what made them stand out to me the most.

Definitely one of my favorites in the series.

“Vita mia” im melting

neva writes the moat unhinged men but I am obsessed with them all!!

A Wonderful Tale

A better version of the Sweetest Temptation!!!! The characters are so complex and intriguing! The FMC is so powerful in her own right and I always appreciate that element in a mafia book. The MMC is so bold, obnoxious and brazen it makes for a wonderful book! Loved the epilogue!!!!!

i loved the way salvatore and milene first meet—it's definitely the most natural meeting in the series so far i.e no arrange marriage talks. however, the surveillance thing was not normal 😂
salvatore has more controlling issues than luca who was just kinky. milene was also not a strong or likable character, and i really didn't like her job situation. i did like her helping tore with his buttons 😶‍🌫️

sigh. it's a such shame bc the first two chapters were so good. i'm rating this 3 stars, but it's boarding 2/2.5

are these books getting worse?? 😂😭
