Omg book tok was right this was so good! It was steamy and funny and I basically loved everything about it. I loved the family dynamics, mostly the sister, brother, cousins, and mom and grandma(not the dad). I also really liked Elena as a character. The only thing I wish was more Nico POV’s other then that it was amazing.

I felt like it was longer than it needed to be, with an anti-climatic ending

It’s a mafia romance so there’s parts concerning organized crime (death, murder, gun violence, regular violence, blood). There’s some sexist elements (women in the family aren’t allowed to choose their husbands-arranged marriage; they’re seen as tainted if they have sex before marriage).

Nico’s mom was a drug addict, and his step-mother uses cocaine frequently (drug use). Nico became head of the family bc his mother died of an overdose and his father was shot (death of parent). Elena’s sister becomes pregnant with her boyfriends child while engaged to Nico (pregnancy & infidelity). Most of not all of the men cheat on their wives/partners frequently (infidelity).
