Thoughts 
As my first Mafia romance, I actually really enjoyed this. Quick, easy read with lots of tension. I absolutely adored Elana in this book, she was so cute. 

Best bits
“Everyone knew you didn’t fall in love with a man in my world, like the one who stood before me now. Not unless you wanted your heart shattered into a thousand tiny pieces.” 

Her obsession with pink 💕

“Which hand did he use?” 🥵

“I said I would never hurt you, Elana, but if I find out you’ve touched another man, there is nothing in this world that could save him.” 

He had something I wanted 🥵

“Love gave a woman a reason to let her dark colours shine, because I suddenly knew I would lie, cheat, and steal for this man. I would burn the world for him. He was king of the Cosa Nostra. And he was all mine.” 

He bought her a carousel 😭

reread via audible: 3.5/5 ☆
not even gonna lie, i couldn’t figure out how i knew nico’s narrator’s voice. but then i figured out he literally sounds like health ledger’s joker

I guess the plot is ok. The end is meh. But what really matters is that it's very, very, very hot.

fast-paced

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I would give it 4 stars but the FMC was annoying like girl STOP LYING 

But overall a good mafia romance, had some killing, had some drama

I am glad that
she didn’t get kidnapped
or have a third act break up though I really like how the plot flowed through the book
