this was the slowest slow burn ever in the best way and I loved Gianna even though I wasn't that intrigued by her in the first book

i went feral every time Christian casually killed someone for Gianna

SLOW BURN!! Surprisingly, I liked it! I think I liked it better than Ace/Elena. Christian was to die for and Gianna was a perfect romance FMC. She had multiple healthy relationships with women around her and men that respected her. She was funny, sassy, and stood up for herself... which I feel like are things that are difficult to find in some romance books. Would definitely recommend.

I'd give this 10 stars if I can because Gianna and Christian are just explosive. I now have questionable morals because of this rating but I did not expect less for a Made Man.

Morally grey characters, do not expect sunshines and rainbows. Several marriages to older men (twice and thrice her age). Sexual intercourse with the male MC while married to 2nd husband.

The plot was the smut if you're asking.THE trauma that the characters went through seemed just an excuse for them to be dark and broody and make them more interesting,especially CHRISTIAN .THIS man is not hot ,he is a  misogynistic ass , controlling and manipulative ,went to therapy that didn't feel like therapy.

Gianna grew on me over the course of 5 days when I was reading this book. I liked the contrast between her & Christian but I especially loved how she stood her ground against him. The banter, the chemistry and the slow burn romance was entertaining. However, there was still something missing and I couldn't connect with the both of them.

Unfortunately, I found myself pushing hard to finish this book mainly because some things didn't make sense. Maybe I anticipated too much, given the story's build-up. I did feel some similarities between this book & Twisted Love by Ana Huang but at least this book is giving. 

This was my favourite bit:
What are you afraid of?” 
“Everything,” I whispered, trailing my finger across the starched collar of his dress shirt. 
“You’re not afraid of me.” 
We were so close his cheek brushed my tear-streaked one when he rasped, 
“And, baby, I’m worse than the dark.” 
Maybe that was why I felt safe from it now.
