This book was really good , Luca was very thoughtful in my opinion but I hated one thing

the fact that he cheated on her

that trope is one of my most hated tropes literally hate it with passion but I'm glad aria was able to put a stop towards that. Other than that this book is a greate read and it's easy and quick fast paced yet so comforting and just a really good general read.

4.0

This book was so fast paced and I flew through it! I can’t wait to see the other sisters get their own stories and I’m about to binge the rest of the series.

However, this book has the cheating trope!! It would have been 5⭐️ otherwise… but I hated the cheating and I hated how they talked about the girl after it.

Aria didn’t want to love him.   Yeah, I like the arranged marriage trope, and this one handled it quite well.  Not a huge age gap, and she was 18 when they married.   I liked this story quite a lot.

This book was sooooo addicting. It’s a dark mafia romance but i love the plot, storytelling and then romance of it. This is aria and luca’s story where it starts out as forced marriage but they fall for each other. Just the cure i needed to get over my reading slump! On to the next book in the series.

Sex, violence, moral ambiguity
I loved it. 
I figured they would’ve come to a stage of obvious emotional affection a lot sooner than they did, but I’m a sucker for a slow burn. I was waiting for more playfulness like in the scene at the gym but mafias are usually more dark so it doesn’t bug me as much as it usually would, but that scene came so naturally it was hard not to want more of that dynamic, can’t wait to see if the other books provide that
