“We lay side by side and watched a girl fall in love. One of us already had, and the other knew she never would.”
This is it.
I feel like my expectations of love and the love of my life has gone way beyond expectations, I blame this book. The book set my standards too high not that is impossible to fulfil.
This book was wow.
Definitely a new genre of erotica romance I'm stepping into.
Just a warning, it's definitely not a book and genre for everyone. You either hate it or love it.
I've been obsessed with mafia plotlines since wattpad days and now I have it in this, I LOVE IT.
It was a dark, gory, toxic, tense, sexual, bloody, strong alpha male and just a great time honestly.
I feel like the story was told in a slow burn sexy narrative. My heart was beating in slow motion, holding my breath in what's going to happen next, who is going to die and what chaos Nico is going to do.
It is a pure heavily dark romance focus. A little on action development but more really focus on Elena's "past" romance and her future romance.
She had a secret she is keeping and trying to make up for what happened to her.
Her character development was seen in a very secretive corner of the book if you didn't realise it. You see bits and pieces of it there before she truly shines.
Nico was wow. I love him, I want him and I need him,
He is a King alright. Pure mafia breed.
He scares me most of the time but it's like fuck it, I love you, give me those fears.
Whenever it's Elena's POV and something happens between them and I just want to know Nico's POV but we don't get it... I'm there screaming "I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HE THINKS"
The romance wise was pure sexiness. Like scary sexy.
It was sweet, scary, dominant, strong and lots of sexual tension. When it's sweet, trust me I melt.
Trust me, that ending got me bawling my eyes out. Like, warn a girl first before doing that. hehe.
P.s I love Benito, can we please have his storyline.
And as annoying he is, I want a Tony redemption story.
“I loved how big he was and how I always felt small and safe with him. The truth was, I loved everything about him and there was no going back. It was full speed ahead, like a train that couldn’t”
