definitely loved it but still seemed a little bit rushed the moment they said their sentiments, but pretty easy and fast to read which I appreciate since I was in a reader block but now I can’t wait to start gorgeous prince.

Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
Spice 🌶 🌶. 5
Ending 💝(HEA)

This book has a lot of tropes that I love. Age-gap, Mafia Romance, Forbidden,  Force Proximity, Fake/Arranged Marriage, Enemies to lovers, touch her and die, angsty 

When Natalia breaks up with her monster boyfriend, he doesn't take it well. He puts a hit out on her because if he can't have her, then nobody can. So it leaves her running to her friends father, Christian, the head of the mafia. He agrees to help her, but only if they marry so he can take down the other mob family. Christian was child hearted and ruthless at the beginning, and I really didn't like him. When Natalia starts wearing on his heart because she is kind-hearted and loving, it really changes how I view Christian. He becomes possessive, jealous, and will do anything for her. 

The author really kept me into this book by how she wrote the characters in their own POV. This book ended up being so good, and I'm glad I read it now. If you are looking for a good mafia romance with a few Kinks (spanking & Dominant). I can't wait to see what else this author comes out with!

This book was so good. Slightly depraved but definitely a good read. I can't wait to read more about this dysfunctional family.

(I received an ARC for this book)

Trigger Warnings include:
the usual trigger happy antihero mafia men violence, mentions of suicide.

When Natalia’s ex boyfriend puts a bounty out on her head, she knows her only chance at living is paying her best friend’s dad a visit. But his protection comes with a price, a price neither her nor Cristian were prepared to cash in on. Until now, Cristian has never paid her any mind. They’ve never even exchanged pleasantries. But now, she’s got a new living situation, and he’s got himself a new bunkmate. Cristian is the kind of mafia man you expect, the kind you hope for. Respected, trusted, controlling, demanding, a true head of the family. So when Natalia starts chipping away at his rough exterior? Well, nothing happens. I mean sure, he was willing to kill just about anyone for disrespecting her, she makes him smile, doesn’t fight the urge to touch her, wants her to add her touch to their home, gives her forehead kisses, falls in love with her favorite snack. But he’s still a monster. A cold blooded killer. And he’s her savior. He’s rarely impressed by a woman, yet she manages to hold all of his attention. Natalie doesn’t put up with Cristian’s crap. She doesn’t cower, and isn't afraid to talk back. She doesn’t allow him to take away her power or her voice, even if it means getting herself killed. He’s not just sweet for her or to her just because she’s a female or his daughter’s best friend. Death is the least of his worries, but the fear of losing her has him going against everything ingrained in him. We’re gifted with their happily ever ever and then some. And it’s heaven. And the ending?! I am SO ready for his son’s book!

Natalia’s ex mafia heir boyfriend puts a hit out on her when she breaks up with him because he’s a cheater. She goes to Cristian the King of the mafia and also her bff’s dad. He decides to use her as bait to do
Mafia stuff. He might kill her or he might keep
