Expected an ultra smutty book with a jerksome alpha mafia husband , but was really  pleasantly surprised. Quite cute mafia romance, fake marriage troupe. You could tell that they cared for each other and wanted the best for each other. When his alpha male shit kicked off, it wasn’t too overbearing, until it was and he was punished for it.
The sex scenes went by really quickly, blink and you miss it, not f are to black but nothing too spicy really. 
They both had issues to work though and took care of each other, which I really loved, very treasured and genuine. It all went by quite quickly, felt like scenes or moment ended and it was onto the next.
Would recommend, for a cute digestible read. All the height difference shit was my JAM! Put me on the countertop!
