Twisted mafia romance but with heartwarming moments and humour. The disability rep was good to see and I liked Nina and how in control she was. Quick and easy read.

This was a big meh for me. Loved the disability rep with Roman but that was about it. The fake marriage just did not make sense- how does a 6 month temporary marriage to someone who is pretending to be flighty and dumb on purpose give reassurance to your men that you’re still the boss?

3.0

This is somehow not a dark romance even with the love interest being a mafia boss.

I enjoyed that there were no cnc scenes and I believe this book could be recommended to people who want to find out if they could like dark romances, because this book definitely has the glorification of violence typical for dark romances, but without the relationship between the fMC and mMC being dark as he treats her very respectfully, does not cross any of her boundaries and so on...

The fMC is not involved at all in the mafia business and while her ability to play other characters is cool she is not giving...bad bitch

- he falls first and harder
- like a mafia romance but make it hallmark with sex scenes (not that much depth but the romance was sweet)
- spice 1/5 (not that low of a quantity but not very detailed and quite vanilla, no tension was created so even the open door scenes were boring)

Colour me surprised but I really enjoyed reading this book. It had the passion, the story, the character and everything that I could ask for. One of the best mafia romances I've read in a while (and I can now call myself picky).
