4.0

Ho trovato questa lettura sorprendentemente intensa e piacevole, adatta per chi cercasse un dark romance, spicy, ma non troppo, abbastanza breve da leggere per passare il tempo.
Non è di sicuro la lettura più memorabile del secolo, ma risulta a mio parere estremamente appassionante sul momento, soprattutto grazie al fatto che la protagonista svolge anche lei una parte attiva nella storia.
Inoltre, ho apprezzato molto l'enfasi sul consento, che da un libro del genere non mi sarei mai aspettata.

“Even the most cold-hearted bastards have a heart.” ♥️

Oh my goodness! This book! Luca & Aria are so perfect together. Luca gets all the praise in this book 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 IYKYK! 🥰 Mafia romances are such a blast! I love all of the passion brought on by the intensity of the situations. Loved Aria’s siblings — they are honestly the best. I can’t wait to read more of this series ✨especially Gianna’s story!

4/5 spice lots of scenes that are well written. This book would have been a 4.5/5 stars if I had stopped before the last few chapters. I really liked their growth together and how they pushed each other. 

Then he sees no problem with not informing her weeks ago that her little sister was sold into a marriage. Also the big ending is I actually love you I don’t just want to Fuck you.

So yup ends on a fairly big Cliff hanger and not a great ending overall.

danielle70's review against another edition

lighthearted fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character

This was a really fun book. It's not super depressing or emotional, just a good time. The couple worked really well together. If you like a very docile heroine and commanding hero, here's your book. I like more outspoken heroines with more sway over their man, but this was good too. The pacing was solid, I read this super fast and never got bored. The characters were solid too. I think if you like the whole innocent heroine thing and a morally gray hero whose only morally gray component is that you're told he's a big player in the mafia and he kills bad guys occasionally (but you never reeally see anything bad or outrageous), then you will absolutely love this. I promise I did enjoy this lol. I don't know how to get my point across. Basically, I had a lot of fun reading this. It's a super quick read. I loved the super close sister dynamic.

I loooooved the first 3/4 of this. I enjoyed all of it, but I have a very different personality from the heroine so maybe that's it, but she needed a bit more of a backbone in my opinion. I can suspend my disbelief but come on, no one bites their tongue that often. I also feel like the whole innocent/naive thing was a lil heavy-handed. It makes me uncomfortable after a minute when the heroine, who lives in modern-day Chicago doesn't know much at all about anything, especially someone who grew up in a mafia family. Sure, ok. I did really like her sister Gianna, so I'm pumped to her read her book. 

Tropes:

• mafia romance
• opposites attract
• shy/innocent heroine & grumpy/cynical hero
• super possessive hero
• the whole 'I hate that I love you' thing
• 'touch her and you die'
• hurt/comfort (not a lot, but it's there)
• 'I hate everyone but you'
