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.

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.

This book man... good amount of spice, the main character is extremly sexy but the plot was lacking. Left me wanting more!

Ho trovato questa lettura sorprendentemente intensa e piacevole, adatta per chi cercasse un dark romance, spicy, ma non troppo, abbastanza breve da leggere per passare il tempo.
Non è di sicuro la lettura più memorabile del secolo, ma risulta a mio parere estremamente appassionante sul momento, soprattutto grazie al fatto che la protagonista svolge anche lei una parte attiva nella storia.
Inoltre, ho apprezzato molto l'enfasi sul consento, che da un libro del genere non mi sarei mai aspettata.

“Even the most cold-hearted bastards have a heart.” ♥️

Oh my goodness! This book! Luca & Aria are so perfect together. Luca gets all the praise in this book 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 IYKYK! 🥰 Mafia romances are such a blast! I love all of the passion brought on by the intensity of the situations. Loved Aria’s siblings — they are honestly the best. I can’t wait to read more of this series ✨especially Gianna’s story!

4/5 spice lots of scenes that are well written. This book would have been a 4.5/5 stars if I had stopped before the last few chapters. I really liked their growth together and how they pushed each other. 
Then he sees no problem with not informing her weeks ago that her little sister was sold into a marriage. Also the big ending is I actually love you I don’t just want to Fuck you.
So yup ends on a fairly big Cliff hanger and not a great ending overall.

It's the misogyny I know it is, I just can't seem to get past it no matter how hard I try. Like I get yk big strong mafia man who can't show weakness, but just the rituals of the Family's and how they treated the women. I guess I'm just lucky that I liked this guy somewhat more because he didn't force himself on her on their wedding day. Aria annoyed me, Luca was better, favourite character was Romero, at least he was respectful. Even the possessiveness didn't make me feel much this time. I'll read the rest of the books, only because I need to finish the series and I'm intrigued about how it will continue.
