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.

I was hoping I'd like this one better as a reread but my rating stays the same. I grew tired of the miscommunication trope tbh.

Usually, I don't like dark romances and as expected I didn't like the book. But I have to acknowledg that it was a really good book.
The depth of these characters was captivating. There is no real plot with the book mainly focusing on both characters and their development but there was also no plot needed.
Was it a mafia romance, yes, did I love how real the characters felt, yes.
There definitely were quite the smutty scenes.
 
!for sensitive readers: better read the content warnings even if they involve spoilers!
