Oh man do I love the forced/arranged marriage trope mixed with possessive mafia men! & this book delivered so well on that combo!
Neve and Ares had fiery chemistry from the first page; even with them starting as “enemies” (rival mafia families). I adored Neve’s fight and stubbornness and how that really never fully went away, even when she let Ares bring out her submissive side eventually.
Her strong personality was a perfect match for Ares. He presented a calm and collected front as the new head of his family; but inside he was cracking from the weight on his shoulders. Neve gave him a place to direct some fun energy and interact with someone who had zero issues pushing back.
Their sexual tension was hot af and I loved how quickly Ares became protective of his new wife. The overall story-arc was done really well and the ending was perfect in my opinion!
Tropes:
• arranged/forced marriage
• marriage of convenience
• rival mafia families
• over the top possessive MMC
• strong-willed FMC
• precious trauma
• touch her and die
• “my wife”
