Really liked the pacing and the characters, it had a good mix of humor, classic tropes and suprises. Would have been 4 start but the random unnessesary sexual/physical assult in the middle took it down a peg, it took me out of the story. I'm a firm believer that consent is sexy, even in books. But if that doesn't bother you definatly read this book other than that it was a really good read.

Wasn’t bad? I liked the main guy and girl by the end, but I didn’t feel like the transition was drawn out enough from enemies to lovers. Especially since it started with full blown slurs (against Italians and the Irish), like you need to show me more development in the in between. Other than this the mafia elements are very vague and almost a background thing rather than a big part of the plot so it felt even more boring lmao
