I thought that I’d enjoy this book as I had seen lots of people recommending it, but it sorely let me down. I had expected something a lot less like a Wattpad fan fiction than this. I wish I’d gone in beforehand knowing that Aurora curses in ‘bird words’ — and I’m not f*cking kidding. This book was such a painful read with a wildly predictable ending and a boring plot progression. And for all you smut-lovers, go ahead and skip this one. The *spice* was sub-par at best. If you’re looking for a published version of your favorite ‘mafia boss x reader’ fan fiction, this is up your alley. If not, don’t waste your time.

Possibly my favorite mafia dark romance book I’ve read the entirety of 2022.

I loved the dynamic between Rory and Angelo. They were very much “will they/won’t they.”

I always love a book where the FMC has a backbone and may be slightly crazy themselves. If I’m rooting for the FMC, I know I’ve connected with her and the book. And I was rooting Rory, no matter the outcome.

Angelo, woo baby. How much I wanted to fight this man at one point in the book. But honestly, he was also a great MMC. I like that although he’s known to be vicious, you really see different sides to him. He’s a brother and a son (his mother’s) before anything else. Plus he pulled his head out of his for Rory.

This is an age gap romance which honestly didn’t feel like one to me. Yes, there’s a 15 age difference. But because Rory is 21 and because she’s about to marry a 70-year-old, the gap didn’t feel weird.

3.5/5 on the spice scale. While they don’t actually have sex until the end of the book, they are intimate in other ways. Plus they both like their kinks (spanking, semi-public)
