This was not at all what I was expecting. I was expecting a slow-burn mafia romance. Instead, I got an instalove cringefest. I guessed the initial plot twist almost immediately. Kiara and Liam's relationship felt artificial from the start. From day one, he was obsessed with her, and he changed his personality overnight.

The depiction of Kiara's trauma was superficial. Similar to Liam, it seemed like she overcame her demons overnight. Once, Kiara and Liam got together, the book became mostly smut. Outside of that, there was little development of their relationship. This book was a huge waste of time, and I honestly wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It was so bad that I might take a break from mafia romance for a while.
