This book was good. It wasn’t as fast as i was hoping it’d be but Callum is everything! Loved him so much when he finally fell in love with Aida. I love the tension between the two in the beginning it was truly everything. You dark romance lovers will 100% love this book. For me though Sophie’s writing style just isn’t my personal favorite per the 3.5 rating.

This book is so fun and a great, fast read for when you're in a reading slump. There's a decent side plot, and the main two characters have such funny interactions. I think this book could've had more plot details and schemes, but I still had a lot of fun throughout this read! 

I recommend it to people looking for tension, small politics, gang side-plots, mafia, and spice

Sophie Lark did it again. It is my first mafia romance fron her and it was joyfull.
I love the FMC Aida. This character made me laugh so many time with her sassy mouth. She is a hell well written character.
Just for her, you should read this.

It is:
- mafia romance
- enemies to lovers
- strong and skilled FMC 
- arranged marriage 
- forced proximity

It was a perfect reading balancing between the love story and the plots.
This is a good audiobook also (duo POV narrators)

This is my first Sophie Lark book, and it won’t be my last. 

It’s a Mafia Romance with all the tropes, arranged marriage, enemies to lovers, touch her a 💀 vibes. 

It’s not a literary masterpiece but it was fun to read. The characters should not be taken seriously, the story even shouldn’t but it’s a bit of fun escapism where you can giggle and maybe gasp a time or two. It’s quick and easy to read and the characters you can either love or hate and I think that depends on if you like the book or not. 

I liked it purely for the reason it was fun, was there plot holes, yes, do I care not really. It has what I like in this type of book, funny characters, some spice a smidgeon of a plot and it’s a series following the family. 

I will be continuing this series, and I think it will be definitely one I go back to when I’m in a slump as it’s quick and easy to read!

The writing took some time to get used to, but eventually I didn’t mind all the internal monologuing. It was tough to get through the first part of the book because of the immaturity of the two main characters but once they were together and married, their character development was significant. I surprisingly liked this book. I tend to stay away from mafia type romances because some times they can be a little too dark.
