If you're looking for a light-hearted, comedy romance that dips its toes into the dark mafia realm with a hint of spice- This book is for you. 

This was my first book in the 'adult romance' genre and I was surprised at how tame this book was. But, it upheld a slow-burn lustful relationship between Mafia Don Nico and sweet little Elena that blossomed into a love story. 

Totally what I was expecting growing up reading fan fictions on Wattpad when I was twelve. 

Main character was extremely possessive? Check
                                                   controlling but in a 'I care about you' way? Check 
                                                   dominant? Check 
                                                   ready to kill anyone who so even touched his woman? Check 

Swiftly moving onto the next book which follows two characters in the same universe. The second book follows step-mum to Nico Gianna and FBI agent Christian. I am slightly more excited to follow an older couple with history to their relationship. Maybe character development is too much to ask for adult romances? We shall see. 

Spice Rating: 2/5
