Ugh so cute! Ok so I think I liked this better than the last book just a tad! Bianca is a mute Italian mafia princess being offered to the Russians as a wife to bring peace. Mikhail is the enforcer of the Russian mob and has been watching Bianca dance for months. Between Mikhail's no touching and scars and Biancas voice and shit family, the trauma was very prominent in the plot. What wasn't? Mikhails daughter Lena. She's present for plot purposes but she disappears in the last 50ish pages. She isn't even in the epilogue (that I remember). Just kinda weird plot hole stuff. The actual romance and main plot was great and interesting though!
