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.

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!
