This is my absolute FAVOURITE slow-burn novel I have EVER read!! Nicco Russo is EVERYTHING.

✨️✨️✨️Spoliers below✨️✨️✨️

Some om my favourite quotes:

“You know what pisses me off?” His tone was dark, but somehow it only awoke a thrill beneath my skin. I knew the answer to this question. “Assuming?” I focused on the TV, pretending not to care about what he was doing, but my heart faltered when he moved close behind me. I held my breath as he slowly set the remote back in my lap, and then right at the hollow behind my ear, he whispered, “Smart girl.” A shiver ran down my neck, but then he left with a parting word. “Don’t fucking do it again.”

He talked while he screwed, right against my ear in a deep rasp, and it made me crazy. “You take it so good,” he praised. “So fucking tight.” “So wet for me.”

Cannot wait to read rest of this series!

I am conflicted. This book gave me different emotions. I think my rating is 2 stars though. I liked the happy ending and some sweet moments here and there in this book but otherwise I didn't care for it and kinda disliked it.

it was too much attraction/lust based than I preferred. Only about in 65% or so did it finally feel like it wasn't just lust. And even then, meh. I also hate the miscommunication/misunderstanding trope, so so much. I hate that only towards the very, very end did Nico find the out the truth. I didn't like what she did either, she lied and stole from him. Betrayed him. I know she was trying to clear her conscience but it was hard to feel bad for her about his reaction. I think he forgave her a little too easily. I also didn't like how he kept bringing it up after. If you chose to forgive someone, you shouldn't keep bringing it up to make them feel guilty. If bygones are bygones, stop mentioning it and let it go. Honestly I think I liked Nico more than Elena. If she just communicated more..I know she was trying to protect herself but ugh. Just not my type of heroine I guess. I'm glad she's able to be herself around him at least and get out of the shell everyone forced her in though.

NICO AND ELENA ARE CUTE TO ME! this has been on my tbr for so long and it did not disappoint. A slow burn mafia made love story. The slow burn had me screaming and giggling. Nico is engaged to Elena’s sister which obviously puts a dampening on their connection, mostly physical. They both assume many incorrect things about each-other and hide how they feel for like the entire book. When drama ensues, Elena ends up engaged to the brooding, rude Don while trying to hide her own secrets. I loved how the third act conflict was put together like ugh it was done so well. I do think Elena was written with a bit too much internalized misogyny for my taste, just not the best way for a woman to be described. I really ship them. The tension was so tasty. The Sweetest Oblivion embodies angst, possessiveness, organized crime and strained family dynamics fed into an intriguing love story between sweet Abelli and Ace ♠️💞 I wished we had more Nico povs but otherwise I had so much fun :)))

“I would make this girl want me, need me, love me, because fuck if I was going at it alone.”
