Aaaaaahh T-T Nero is my favourite so far! During this book you really felt his emotions and it's so sweet! Ok so, we follow Nero Gallo, the reckless, crazy, violent and unpredictable brother of Aida. His only love is for fights and his cars. Then we have Camille Rivera, neighbourhood mechanic who's broke and is drowning in financial responsibilities. When her younger brother gets caught with Molly, she takes the blame and turns into an informant for (gross) cop Schultz. Nero wants to set up a new building project for the family but needs more capital so he plans a heist to get what he needs.
This one had quite a lot of plotpoints I would have loved to see more worked out, like Vic's father, more about Camille's situation and maybe the emotional side of Alex falling ill as well as her ordeal with her being an informant. I feel like we mostly really got Nero's feelings about Camille and his falling in love and what it did to him? Compared to with Camille. It was also quite the slowburn and it wasn't until over halfway that we got some solid, more interactions between the two, but the first part was all a good setup. Nero and Camille growing into their feelings was really really sweet. This was more of a friends to lovers id say and tbh a nice break from the fighting and hate of the first two books. Wholesome mafia romance can be done apparently :p
