The storyline of this one was pretty much trash, the romance was… okay at the best of times, the MMC was a presumptuous dickhead, the FMC was weak minded (and kind of stupid sometimes), and the spice was SO. CRINGEY. 😬
I was just disappointed. It felt like a story I’ve already read but I’m a worse format and I felt frustrated for like 75% of the time I was listening to it. I was hoping I’d feel justified sticking with it til the end but I probably should’ve just DNF’d when I knew I wasn’t liking the characters or the storyline much.

The cover is wildly mismatched to the story inside. It's a mafia romance which is not my thing. Hated that plot and how passive and doormat-y the FMC was most of the book.
The MMC is not just grumpy but he's also a bully. He breaks her door down at one point! I think I've lost interest in this author.

The rest... The mob stuff was a little unrealistic in that Lola buries her head in the sand a bit. Her little sister is threatened more than once, and Lola never warns her? And then it all disappears and the problem is gone like magic.
I do want to read more books in the series because I loved other works by this author and the set up for this story has me hooked.
CW/TW: use of the word “daddy” during spicy scenes.
