Never in a million years did I think I would like something like this or even tolerate it. Ignoring all the cringey moments and misogyny of the mafia world, I enjoyed it. 

Yes, it’s not going to be some award-winning literary masterpiece with perfect writing and prose. But it WAS entertaining. The same way people enjoy trashy reality tv. Call it a guilty pleasure, but either way it was enjoyable enough to finish it in one sitting.

I enjoyed the story between Christian Allister and Gianna. 
Loved the characters development. 

- mafia romance 
- enemies to lovers
- surprised pregnancy (which is really annoying to me it should be a TW…

but as it is revealed at the end, it was bearable

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.
