"Be a good girl and play by the rules" 

 

"Somewhere along the way, I stopped being mine and became yours" 

 

"Tell me... who takes care of you?" 

 

I knew within 2 chapters that I was going to love this book! I was right because I devoured this in 2 days - it would have been 1 day but life responsibilities got in the way 😮‍💨 

 

This is a modern day Romeo and Juliet inspired mafia romance. Following Mia and Romolo, Mia is the mayors daughter and Rom is responsible for the secrets of his mafia family. 

 

It’s a dual point of view (I loved getting Rom’s thoughts), forbidden romance (good girl / bad boy), mafia book with both spice and a plot. The bedroom scene after the ball was *chefs kiss* 

 

I can’t wait for more from the Ferraro brothers!
