One of the better mafia romances I’ve read. It wasn’t as ridiculous or needlessly violent as some, which I prefer since I think it’s a bit more realistic.

I think I'll need some time to sort my thoughts after reading this. It blew my mind and had me on the edge of my seat. (I didn't expect that plot twist ngl) It's a shame I couldn't read it in one sitting. The tension is immaculate, it was a mix of the right amount of spice and drama. I loved the wholesome moments as well as the smh angsty(?) ones. And again the TENSION. I liked both Nico and Elena, but I loved Sebastian, Adrianna and Nonna the most (emphasis on I loved Nonna cuz she literally my spirit animal(?) ) The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is the smutty scenes. Even tho they were Ok I was a bit uncomfortable reading them. But Overall it was a good book, would def recommend.

It's my first mafia romance and I gotta say, it's not as dark as I think it would be but hell I still wasn't expecting that much blood and murder mentioned (though I should've expected that knowing violence is mentioned in the warnings). Nico Russo got me screaming every freaking time he talks and I totally understand the hype.
