Stolen Touches by Neva Altaj
5.0

While this book was apart of a series of 7, the author mentioned it could still be read as a stand alone. I decided to pick this one up first because of booktok & I was hooked. Going through the reviews, many had mentioned that this book was the weakest out of all but I very much enjoyed Milene & Salvatore’s story! I’m excited to read the rest in the series since they’re supposedly better. Its one of those “touch her & you’re die” type of story. From most of the mafia romances I’ve come across - the FMC is usually an ordinary girl that the don goes after so it was refreshing that the FMC was a mafia princess herself. I liked that because she wasn’t new to the mafia world & seemed more mature & understanding rather then naive/overly emotional/irrational. While the marriage was force, it didn’t feel as force/arrange. Their chemistry was to die for even though both had issues of their own to work through. The build up of their relationship was well written. The writing overall was solid, no overwhelming scenes of spice & just enough of violence. There were also comedic moments too! Overall I truly enjoyed it & cant wait to read all of the books in the series.
