mafia story with a demi-sexual H and a sex worker h.
interesting for this alone.

4.5 stars I thought I'd found my favourite Villetti in Daddy Zayn, but Gil swooped in with his stoic nature and stole my heart. All he knows is how to be his fathers killer, and he's blowing in the wind after the change in leadership. Then he goes to Zayn's club and meets Theia. They both have baggage and scars and they fight some light in each other. For as dark as SB writes, this was utterly adorable. I cannot wait for more and to find out about the younger Villetti. I was so lucky and honoured to receive an ARC of this title and the opinions in my review are my own and unbiased.
Holy sh*t I need my own Villetti man. BAD.
FRTC because Gilberto offish owns my heart and I need all my functioning brain cells to complete this review… so BRB

Sarah writes some of the most fantastic and compelling characters. Just when you think you have your absolute favourite she introduces you to someone new who you love equally or more.
Gil struggles with his new role as the head of the mafia. He was always meant to be the spare and he’s afraid of letting everyone down.
He is drawn to Theia after he meets her at his brothers club. He begins to see her regularly, just to talk. She is instantly attracted to him but accepts that he wants a platonic relationship.
When her past comes back and threatens her safety and freedom Gil will do anything to protect her.
It was awesome watching these characters develop into more confident versions of themselves.
Gil accepts Theia and doesn’t want her to change. He embraces and fulfils her needs.
Their relationship is sweet and becomes very spicy.

Ok so I’m in love with Gil and Theia.
I feel like most of the time in books the mafia man is portrayed as a manwhore/playboy however Gil isn’t that at all. Instead we get a wonderful demisexual man with a lot of parental trauma. Gil has so much self reflection in this book and he’s so accepting of Theia as a sex worker. Theia herself is also overcoming trauma from being trafficked herself. These two start off slow and build a friendship which I thought was really sweet, especially since they help one another grow and heal.
However!! Once things started heating up these two got pretty spicy. Definitely loved this book, probably one of the healthiest mafia relationships I’ve ever read in a book. I cannot wait for the next one!

I find it rather easy to get into Bailey's books. So it is no surprise that I blew through Titan in no time. I didn't want to put it down! I am loving all these men from the Villetti family and the girls who bring them weak in their knees. With Gilberto and Theia, we get a unique storyline that only makes you ache for more!
Gil wasn’t what i expected but I loved him. Theia and Gil were a perfect match. Most romance books out there are insta love or at least instalust but this wasn’t that (at least on gils end) and that was refreshing. IRL it’s usually best to truly get to know someone before intimacy and this was a realistic way to showcase that reality.
I really love this world Sarah has created. Each story has been so different and has included diverse characters who each find love in different ways. But at the base of the story.. it’s still mafia and the spice is always delicious.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t extremely excited for edric & veronas story… I’m sensing reverse grumpy sunshine & enemies to lovers…. I just know it’s going to be good!!!

Such a great story! Gil is the second born son of the Villetti family. Younger brother to Zayn Villetti, (Tyrant, Book 1). After Gil has been tasked to take over as Mafia Boss in place of Zayn, he begins to doubt his abilities to take the reins.
He finds solace in his new friendship with Theia, who works as at Zayn’s club, Desecration. Theia has a horrifying past, but has found a safe haven at the club and as she begins to get comfortable, her past comes back to haunt her.
While she’s a sounding board for Gil and his life, Gil becomes a protector for Theia and hers. The character development was exceptional and I couldn’t have asked for better chemistry and spice with these two.
Highly recommend reading the trigger warnings before diving in, but once you do, enjoy the ride!
