Because I'm Yours by Claire Contreras

medium-paced

4.0

“Anything for you, Principessa. Everything for you.”

Brother’s best friend, but make it steamy, mafia, and extra forbidden because she’s engaged to be wed to someone else. I loved Lenora and Rocco’s story. I can’t explain it fully, but it was just the perfect balance of the trope-y romance and then the mafia happenings. I just love this world Claire has created with this found family of made men on the up and up and then women that are turning their worlds upside down. Like the power Lenora has over Rocco’s heart and she doesn’t even truly know it. Sigh. I love a man who falls hard when he doesn’t plan to.

Anywho. If you want mafia with brother’s best friend forbidden, then you’ll gobble this up.
