Definitely read the trigger warnings. But I DEVOURED this book. A lot funnier than I expected it to be, and the slow burn had me giddy by the end. The spicy scenes were great and I loved the ending, which is honestly not something I can say often.

Terrible book. Awful characters, and dry writing. The plot was interesting but the story itself left nothing in me to want more of the story. Every character sucks.

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.

Miscommunication tropes, enemies-to-lovers literal dramatics, and the rough tone of language, considering the age, were quite immature. There's this immediacy that was toxic to a relationship to start off, but it was easily consumed for the most part due to the short chapters. I'm not a big fan of the violence, and the storyline was a bit lackluster; the scenes were short, and if it was fast-paced, it was just that it was detailed on parts I don't like that much. Overall, there were areas that could have been improved and some side characters to be given spotlight.

natafiguu's review against another edition

i do not recommend this at all, literally do not read this.its just. so bad. everything about it. i genuinely cannot think of a thing i like about this book. the characters are flat stereotypes, the women aren't allowed to do shit and are seen as possessions, and don't get me started with the weird shit about the wax? that's where i stopped reading, i literally just can't anymore. i think that was about four chapters in, but i haven't seen such lackluster writing before.
