If you're looking for a light-hearted, comedy romance that dips its toes into the dark mafia realm with a hint of spice- This book is for you.

This was my first book in the 'adult romance' genre and I was surprised at how tame this book was. But, it upheld a slow-burn lustful relationship between Mafia Don Nico and sweet little Elena that blossomed into a love story.

Totally what I was expecting growing up reading fan fictions on Wattpad when I was twelve.

Main character was extremely possessive? Check
controlling but in a 'I care about you' way? Check
dominant? Check
ready to kill anyone who so even touched his woman? Check

Swiftly moving onto the next book which follows two characters in the same universe. The second book follows step-mum to Nico Gianna and FBI agent Christian. I am slightly more excited to follow an older couple with history to their relationship. Maybe character development is too much to ask for adult romances? We shall see.

Spice Rating: 2/5

LOVED THIS BOOK.
Definitely my favorite book right now, I finished it in like a day. Nico is hilarious throughout the book, and Elena was a strong character. The plot wasn’t to heavy and neither were the characters. I feel like it balanced out good. THE SMUT? Definitely good.

10/10 book.

Kind of hate how much I loved this book. But it was a perfect amount of enemies to lovers, smut, and some more emotional parts that honestly would have been fine to leave out. Excellent quick read!
