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.

giannachristian..... im speechless there's no words really for how i feel abt them.... it was the pining one true love story i desperately needed it to be and the way it was offset with plenty of lustful sensual straight up dirty moments was perfect. lives up to the first book easy easy.

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.
