Okay imma be real honest I’d say this book is a 4.9 ⭐️. It’s the epitome of every enemies to lovers. I love the transition from Nico and Adrianna to Nico and Elana. Where the family was Italian it was hard to keep track of who was who in the large family. Everything was delicately placed in the plot such a great read if your just starting dark romance. Definitely recommend. I would have loved an epilogue though that would be my .1 😖 anywho if you like mafia based romance this is the book for you. If you loved this book I would check out “The Brutal Prince”- by Sophie Lark.🍓

Okay I have many questions like what happened to the theater guy Elana was seeing? Did she ever get a drivers license? She also completely forgot about dance.

I hadn't read a mafia romance before and I realise through reading this book it's probably not my cup of tea, if this was someone's preferred genre I'm sure they would rate it higher but I just found the controlling aspects of the MMC and the fact that the FMC could not even leave the fucking house without him threatening to kill someone  a bit much...
If you like dom/sub dynamics you'll like this book, but for me I wished the FMC wasn't apologising all the time for the actions of her jealous lover. I've got to admit he was so odd I kept reading out of curiosity to see what the next fucked up thing he would do or say.

However, I've heard the next one is better and yes I will be reading if ofc.
