Mafia family, crazy family drama, spicy romance, characters with depth, and interesting plot twists — this book had it all. 🃏

I had seen this book all over Booktok and had to give it a shot. I am so glad I did. It was so good. I loved the chemistry between Elena and Nico along with their internal struggles. 👩🏻‍❤️‍👨🏻

Danielle Lori, you've done good my friend. 

I think I could read about Nico and Elena's relationship all day for the rest of my entire life. I'm actually angry with myself for not finding this book any sooner. The dynamic between "good girl who is sick of the rules" and "literal king of the most dangerous mafia" is (AGHHHHH) so good! I felt like I was reading one of those good-girl-bad-boy Wattpad books but 100% better. 

Like, where is the movie for this book??? It's so hard to cast perfection but damn you might as well TRY!

If it were me instead of Elena, I would kill to be with Nico. I mean, I'm sure she would have too.

This book really surprised me. I wasn't expecting it, but it actually had a decent amount of plot, and the characters were interesting and complex. It didn't feel like I had to suspend disbelief, or ignore cheesy prose. It was surprisingly well written, with good pacing. The way the author built tension between the two was *chef's kiss* and it felt like a genuine, believable shift from disliking each other to falling for each other. 
It's a mafia romance tho, with pretty old school Godfather-esque power structures, so expect a bit of sexism etc. But it's never tone in a distasteful way, and the main character is completely aware of how old fashioned it is.
My only critique would be that the tension at the end felt a little manufactured, but the miscommunication only lasted for a chapter. So yeah, would recommend tbh
