If you're going to mention 20 times that he takes her pulse with his thumb, you should maybe double- check because that's impossible. The thumb has its own pulse. I rolled my eyes every time. 

Not much plot, just a very slow burn during which she somehow cures his neurodivergence. Nothing believable. Lots of repetition and filler and some very stilted dialog that nobody would actually say. There are some weird sections where none of the characters use contractions.

This is the only book I've re-read. It will always have a special place in my heart. Nino and Kiara have one of the most healthy mafia relationships ever, and it's so refreshing. I absolutely adore them both and would do anything for them. One of my favorite book couples even a year after reading it for the first time.

One of my favourite mafia books. The relationship between both characters was so sweet even with their troubled past. I also enjoyed watching the other characters grow.
