So I don’t really appreciate dark romances where it’s so dark I cannot figure out if the male lead is right or wrong. I know I make no sense but in my head I do. This book obviously had gory details but the relationship Amelia and Gabriel had, chefs kiss
all mafia men do is drink whiskey, frown and be simps for their women and this was no exception

This was my first book as intro to dark romance and I instantly fell in love with this genre because of this book. I believe that mafia romance is now my favorite trope. I guess you’d call it. But this does contain kidnapping of a mother and child. Forced marriage. Gun fights and more. This is a fast paced slow burn book. But definitely the kind of book you want to be on your TBR immediately. The male main character is a “touch her and die” kind of man. He doesn’t care if you’re family or friend or foe. If you touch her you will die.

I loved this book! Right from the start, it gave you a mystery and drama. All the way through I was biting my nails and trying to figure out the who did it mystery (I will admit I guessed it about half way through) but I was still shocked that it was who I thought! It is a slow burn but the intensity between the FMC and MMC is there from the start. Once you get to 50% its soo spicy that I was barely able to put this book down. Highly recommend!
