Sweet Prison

Neva Altaj

3.66 AVERAGE

fast-paced
dark tense medium-paced

Neva Altaj never fail! She strikes again!! Sweet Prison was good, very good even. I laughed many times because Massimo was so funny. Unhinged yet funny at the same time. He tried so hard to deny his feeling for Zahara but failed miserably.
Zahara was smart and strong woman. She battled her insecurities and with the help of her feeling for Massimo, she finally got out from her shell. It was so satisfying to read how Zahara grew.
Now I need to wait till July 2025 to read Arturo-Tara book. Dammit still so many months.
For the book #12, I think it would be Adriano. If I get it right, I will come back to this review again.

This book was fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
The twisted event was revealed And it was clear , but the best part was the chemistry between the heroes. I wasn't bothered by anything between them; they were very charming and complemented each other. I loved them all.

I'm looking forward to seeing how things play out with Tara and Arturo. I'm not as invested in their storyline as I am in the one with Tiago's book. I didn't like Tara, but I'm open to reading her own book and maybe changing my mind

it was one of my most anticipated books in this series so me not loving it really sucks. A big chunk of the story is basically about past, and to my surprise, i didn't mind it at all. I was happy to get the backtory of Massimo and Zahara and i loved all that tension, waiting for a switch to present, them meeting again etc. But here also lies the problem... i was SO ready for the forbidden attraction, and tension building up and continuing in the present but i feel like i didn't get it. Their romance was cute, and there were definitely some moments i loved but after they first made out, it fell flat for me. Massimo was trying to put distance btw them for too long, and he backtracked after the kiss even when he knew how he felt and that he couldn't live without Zahara. Thats pissed me off. One the other hand, i loved that when they actually got together, they were fully committed to each other. And him calling her angel was the cutest thing everrr. 
And few more problems i had with the book: He was obsessed with her protection and extremely possessive of her, but then they are suddenly fcking during his mafia meeting in front of everyone? Bc its the only way for him to calm down? Pls, that is so stupid and doesn't make sense. And he is supposed to be clever and cunning, but doesn't get who is the villain when it is obvious from the start...? There were so many things that didn't make sense imo. And the whole ending was simply rushed... ugh. I wish i loved it as much as I expected

i devoured this book
