I hadn't read a mafia romance before and I realise through reading this book it's probably not my cup of tea, if this was someone's preferred genre I'm sure they would rate it higher but I just found the controlling aspects of the MMC and the fact that the FMC could not even leave the fucking house without him threatening to kill someone  a bit much...
If you like dom/sub dynamics you'll like this book, but for me I wished the FMC wasn't apologising all the time for the actions of her jealous lover. I've got to admit he was so odd I kept reading out of curiosity to see what the next fucked up thing he would do or say.

However, I've heard the next one is better and yes I will be reading if ofc.

Omg book tok was right this was so good! It was steamy and funny and I basically loved everything about it. I loved the family dynamics, mostly the sister, brother, cousins, and mom and grandma(not the dad). I also really liked Elena as a character. The only thing I wish was more Nico POV’s other then that it was amazing.
