***just found out the author is a racist trumpie and I can’t support that.
OG RATING: 4.2
This is honestly such a good mafia book, the tension between Nicolas and Elena was on point. 
The way the author just got me hooked trying to find out what was going on to how the MCs were going to get together was perfect. 

There was obviously some parts that got me like ?????? Or just a bit annoyed at Elena djsjsjsj but then again if I thought too much into it I wouldn’t have enjoyed it as much as I did.

THE WAY NICO BURNED THE GAS STATION AND KILLED THE MUSTY DUSTY MAN ?!!?!?!? AS HE LAWYER HE DID WHAT HE HAD TO DO😌

There is no plot at all. I do not understand people's obsession with this book and its characters.

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.

Quality mafia romance novel. I had 0 interest reading mafia romance novels due to the sexist aspect of the books and that many of them just jump right into the forced marriage trope and sex. But this one took its time and got me used to the idea of Nico and Elena together. I enjoyed it despite the sexist parts about it.

I loved the ambiance, 50s music, and decor in the beginning. The ending was satisfying too, however, before the end there was one chunk of story which I felt was irrelevant and it slowed my interest (the car show bit) but other than that, and ofc accepting the fact that this is a mafia romance so feminism has kinda been left at the door, this was an enjoyable first time mafia romance.
