I always find it hard to choose between this and Sweet Temptation as my favourite Cora book but I think this has to be my all time favourite. This was done so well. Both Nino and Kiara were dealing with some really heavy stuff and even though it’s a mafia romance their love feels very gentle. Nino was unexpectedly sweet for a mafia MMC which I love. Nino is my favourite MMC in the series and honestly, probably one my fave book bfs in general. These two were even tempered and both very intelligent and I loved their sweet, slow burn. It was interesting seeing the dynamics in the Falcone family in comparison to the Vitiellos especially as they are all men bar Kiara and Leona. I also really enjoyed how exasperated Fabiano gets with the Falcones, it makes me laugh every time. This was the most slowburn of Cora's books that I've read but she really made up for it in the end.

I won’t lie, I’ll probably read this book another one thousand times and I’ll never get sick of it.
