BEST BOOK READ NQKQ 
I'm sorry but with my school read this book saved me from going insane. 
Roman is incredible, husband material and so respectful of Nina. I loved the representation of disability here. It's not something I am used to see in DR and I loved his process and how he came to term with what happened to him. 
Nina is sweet and genuinely funny ! She balanced Roman's personality and loved that she clearly set her boundaries to Roman and made him respect it. 
This is very fast paced, and I do agree with other comments, it can throw off some readers. I was lucky to read it at the right time so I really enjoyed the fast paced. 
I am definitely going to check out the rest of the series !

I enjoyed it a lot. I feel like there was good disability representation. Their love for each other was definitely developed on paper. The plot outside of the romance was entertaining.

Expected an ultra smutty book with a jerksome alpha mafia husband , but was really  pleasantly surprised. Quite cute mafia romance, fake marriage troupe. You could tell that they cared for each other and wanted the best for each other. When his alpha male shit kicked off, it wasn’t too overbearing, until it was and he was punished for it.
The sex scenes went by really quickly, blink and you miss it, not f are to black but nothing too spicy really. 
They both had issues to work though and took care of each other, which I really loved, very treasured and genuine. It all went by quite quickly, felt like scenes or moment ended and it was onto the next.
Would recommend, for a cute digestible read. All the height difference shit was my JAM! Put me on the countertop!

Content warnings carefully explained

A past assault was alluded to, but I don’t think anything specific was mentioned, they work though some of the hang ups, but no panic attacks etc. Mafia book, blood was spilt but easily skipped
