I don't care what the reviews say i loved right from the start
Why am I hiding in dark corners, stalking this girl I’ve only seen from afar, like a psycho?I haven't missed any of her shows for moths,and by now, i recognize exactly when her part comes
Maybe am just crazy but likes he def started falling in love with her before this book even fully started and i honestly love that for him. He started picking up on things that she liked or didn't like so fast when they first met he already knew that she didn't like big crowds and it really gave insight to the reader about how much attention he shows her. I loved how it was't like the other mafia books where the husbanded is a control freak with low self-esteem and doesn't let the women do anything out of fear that their gonna leave. This book wasn't like that right from the beginning he was respectful toward her and didn't force anything on her, and he didn't just ignore the abuse that her father made her endure he wen't and dealt with it which i loved because i find the biggest ick to be when they know the girl they say their in love with is getting abused and does nothing.
As for Lena she dealt well with everything going on over all its a good book ignore the review (other then mine ovi and read the book you won't regret it i swear
The only things that really bothered me is that they have a 10 year age gap like umm sir.... But also compared to some of the other books out there read i can't even complain about 10 years but also
why did they change Romans entire personality through the book like i feel like he would've been encouraging the relationship and telling him to go for it and in this book hes like "shes not gonna deal with your issues" shut up or am telling Nina don't forget you got issues to sir
