It’s an easy reading and it is well written.
Bianca is a strong woman, young but she’s been through enough to be assertive.
Mikhail is wounded in so many ways… and yet… ❤️🫠
Spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Tropes :
mafia romance,
Age gap
Obsessed MMC (with a little bit of a stalker)
Strong FMC
The next book is about Sergei. And the more unhinged they are the more I am a sucker for them, so I guess I have a date now because Sergei is seriously unwell.
