- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
I was curious enough to listen until the end and appreciated that the ending was not rushed through. Dario is certainly a one of kind and its interesting how in tune of feelings he is when it comes to Posy, but literally noone and nothing else. Mafia romances and usually dark, messy and toxic but Dario is psychotic in a way I can't get behind. Posy has clearly allowed her life experiences to dim her self esteem and Dario, in his weird twisted way, helps her realize she doesn't need to settle. The smut is entertaining and the epilogue is hilarious and sweet. But overall this is a bit to twisted and toxic for my liking.

Look, I love a good psychopath lead - they’re hard to write and make compelling enough that you root for their HEA, but there’s something about Dario that I didn’t enjoy or connect with. He’s the wet blanket of psychopaths. Posy was meh.
And wth was up with that last chapter?!? So OTT. Epilogue was cute though.
