This was the classic slow burn & miscommunication trope for a majority of the book, but in a good way. My first mafia romance I’ve read so I don’t have much to base it on, but I thought it was a good read. I do think the spicy scenes could have been… spicier… considering he is in the mafia.

I've thought about the best word to describe this book for a long time and I only came up with this:
It was a decent read.
I don't know if this was because of my reading slump or maybe the miscommunication/lack of communication trope but I didn't enjoyed it that much and I feel like the hype that this book has actually betrayed me. 😂
I didn't experience the craze that everyone seems to experience after reading this book nor the "chokehold" they said I'll be in. There's no mindblowing chapter or part for me. It was okay, it was decent.
In fact , Nico and Elena's story will end sooner rather than later if they only talked to each other, something that will make me dnf this as soon as I realize it but I guess I only walked through 52 chapters of their story because someone already warned me way before I started reading this so I'm already prepared.
However, I like the built up sexual tension between the characters on the early parts of the book but it is not something that will make want to read this again .
Actual rating:
⭐⭐✨(2.5) / 5 stars
🌶🌶🌶🌶 / 5

i miss when the domain of badly written mafia books was confined to wattpad. honestly who is publishing this shit bc when the preteen fanfic writers get a hold of them all these “dark romance” authors r going out of business and to hell.
its one thing to be a kid writing shit like this but an ADULT ??? fully grown bitches writing and publishing and promoting utter garbage like its a job!! which it is i guess but honestly i would rather work shovelling animal feces or whatever than unabashedly producing something so laughably appalling 😭
and at this point discrimination isnt even a topic to be touched upon its practically a staple in this niche ass genre where crime families r as abundant as mommy vloggers and every girl eventually has her meg march arc.
tiktok “books” r a pyramid scheme coordinated by the government to siphon our brain cells for dangerous classified mission impossible level experiments and shit
if u enjoyed this book…im sorry babes a 7’11 guy with a fifteen inch cock and rock hard abs with a lopsided grin and a disregard for women (until u duh) and caskets overfilling with stacks who exclusively drinks whiskey or beer or scotch and rescues u from an arranged arranged marriage (a marriage not yet arranged but arranged to be arranged) by trapping u into yet another arranged marriage with (can u guess?!) his lordship is not gonna swoop along and lose all his so called self control (he cant even refrain from purposefully antagonising half the men in ur family to assert dominance) when he sees ur innocence and ur doe eyes and ur cute little bikini 🥺🥺
sorry girlies no alpha king coming to sexually assault u but oh its not sexual assault bc u liked it didnt u!! how fortunate.
