A review by booktribes
The Sweetest Oblivion by Danielle Lori

5.0

Aaaahhhh!! My first mafia romance. Ive
read the reviews okay and at first it feels like its too good to be true, the book is totally overhyped. I shouldn't have thought that bc @danielleloriwrites killed this!

0k at first i was pretty turned off with the whole brother-in-law phase. It also has that misogynistic vibe to it - as in the men of Elena's family controlling her and her every move, telling her how to act and to always keep track of her (and that prev lover kind of thing). And of course especially that selfish contract signed UGH! After that passed it was pretty
addicting. I loved the plot, story flow and their chemistry-teasing each other, not knowing what to expect next kinda vibe. I was totally hooked (might risked a few good nights of sleep bc of this). Recommend 1 0/1 0 if ur into mafia anti-hero, passion, angst and dangerous attraction. This was totally a simple read for me. I might have read my fav scenes 2-3 times (guilty as charged haha). Here's my fav scenes:
1 When they first met
2. The back restaurant alleyway
3. First few hours after they got engaged (you know
what im talking about)
3. Basically everything romantic that does not involve
inappropriate thoughts once in a while
4. When Elena wanted to get close to the fbi agent
5. Nonna's personality
I just wished i known more stories about Nicois dark
past about her mother and her papa's killing. And i
wished they get to know each other more in the book
(basically i wanted it to be longer). Other than that its
an amazing read.
