This is my absolute FAVOURITE slow-burn novel I have EVER read!! Nicco Russo is EVERYTHING.

Some om my favourite quotes:

“You know what pisses me off?” His tone was dark, but somehow it only awoke a thrill beneath my skin. I knew the answer to this question. “Assuming?” I focused on the TV, pretending not to care about what he was doing, but my heart faltered when he moved close behind me. I held my breath as he slowly set the remote back in my lap, and then right at the hollow behind my ear, he whispered, “Smart girl.” A shiver ran down my neck, but then he left with a parting word. “Don’t fucking do it again.”

He talked while he screwed, right against my ear in a deep rasp, and it made me crazy. “You take it so good,” he praised. “So fucking tight.” “So wet for me.”

Cannot wait to read rest of this series!

NICO AND ELENA ARE CUTE TO ME! this has been on my tbr for so long and it did not disappoint. A slow burn mafia made love story. The slow burn had me screaming and giggling. Nico is engaged to Elena’s sister which obviously puts a dampening on their connection, mostly physical.  They both assume many incorrect things about each-other and hide how they feel for like the entire book. When drama ensues, Elena ends up engaged to the brooding, rude Don while trying to hide her own secrets.   I loved how the third act conflict was put together like ugh it was done so well. I do think Elena was written with a bit too much internalized misogyny for my taste, just not the best way for a woman to be described. I really ship them. The tension was so tasty. The Sweetest Oblivion embodies angst, possessiveness, organized crime and strained family dynamics fed into an intriguing love story between sweet Abelli and Ace ♠️💞 I wished we had more Nico povs but otherwise I had so much fun :)))

“I would make this girl want me, need me, love me, because fuck if I was going at it alone.”
