Love, love, love this arranged marriage mafia romance! The MC is a tortured hero who won't let anyone touch him and get past his walls, except for the delicate and fierce mafia princess he is forced to marry. The way this man was absolutely feral for his wife was so freaking fun, he was not above stalking her and keeping her away from any man who may be interested. While some jealous/possessive scenes can rub me the wrong way, our MC was just so sweet and completely worshiped the ground his wife walked. The character development and plot may be minor, but this smutty read was not lacking at all.

Omg!!! I just found a new favorite author!!! Instant buy! @neva_altaj how could you put all my favorite tropes in one book and make me fall in love with not one but both of these unbelievably strong yet broken people!! Mikhail and Bianca hold a special place in my heart! Dare I say they are right next to Archer and Bree!!!! And I just know the next book with Sergei is going to break me even more. I’m unwell!
This book starts right where the first one leaves off. You don’t have to read the first book in the series to know what’s happening in this book but for the best experience and enjoyment, read them in order! This book starts off with Roman, the Russian Don, meeting with his man to inform them that one of them needed to marry the Italian Don middle daughter, Bianca, to form a better “alliance”. When Roman passes a picture of her around, Mikhail instantly recognizes her and says that she is his and no one else’s. Roman reluctantly agrees to let Mikhail marry her but he informs Mikhail that Bianca is mute. Roman says that that will not be a problem for him but little does everyone else knows Mikhail has been stalking her for weeks.
Ever since I finished this book this weekend, I have not been well!! All I can think about is them. Mikhail and Bianca hold a very special place in my heart!! Forever! The amount of pain and agony these two characters go through before they meet each other is sickening. But to see them slowly let their guards down and give into each others love, will live with me for the rest of my life!! And to see how soft, attentive, loving and protective Mikhail was to his daughter had me ready to give my husband some babies so I could see that type of love and devotion in real life! Mikhail is book husband material! And Bianca!!! She was everything Mikhail and his daughter needed even with her disability she was there for them and my heart was so full reading how much she loved them! But Mikhail in the sheets was nothing short of demanding, generous, and down right nasty with it and I ate that sh*t up!!

The mafia and single dad trope is so underrated—one of the best ever! The story is simply amazing. Everything in this book was achingly sweet and comforting, and I loved every second of it. While the plot isn’t super exciting, the characters and their connection make it exceptional.
Amid a brutal war between the Italian and Russian mafias, a decision is made to merge their worlds through a marriage that could change everything. Mikhail, the most feared monster of the Bratva, has long loved Bianca, the stunning woman of the Italian mafia, from afar. Now, he finally has a chance to make her his own. But as their worlds collide, will she flee when she discovers the truth about him? Bianca would do anything to protect her sister, even marrying into the ruthless Bratva. She expects a cold-hearted savage, but instead finds a scarred man who’s everything she’s ever wanted. Now, it’s up to her to break down his walls and dismantle the barriers between them with whispered promises and shared vulnerability.
Bianca, who can’t speak, still leaves a huge impact on the story. Sometimes her silence speaks louder than words. She was a perfect blend of strength, softness, and love. The way she comforts Mikhail, loves him, and accepts him—even in his vulnerable moments—is beautiful. She treats him with such patience. I loved the beauty and the beast vibe, and their connection felt so real. The subtle obsession he had for her long before she was meant to be married off was captivating.
The scarred, brutal man in love with a ballerina? How could I not love that? Their soft touches before anything happened between them were fire, and the spice was on point! Mikhail is such a caring and kind character. Mikhail is a scary, dangerous Bratva man, but he becomes a total softie around Bianca and Lena. Watching him interact with Lina was one of my favorite parts. Their relationship is heartwarming, and those family moments are so cute and wholesome. His backstory is filled with trauma, and my heart ached for everything he suffered.
This book beautifully depicts two wounded souls healing each other with love and care. They breathe life into one another and love selflessly for who they truly are. The chemistry they share is spectacular! Mikhail’s possessiveness over Bianca just made it even more enjoyable to read.

Mi fav de la saga y el mas mmm sano? O el más normal idk pero definitivamente es el menos obligado tal vez? El punto es que es el mejor Y YO TE AMO BIANCA ERES EL AMOR DE MI VIDA
Substantially better than the previous book, I’m impressed. However, the writing style still seems rushed. Again, I wish the book was around 100 pages longer, making it a 5 star read.
