5.0

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.

They are from two mafia families. Nico is engaged to Elena's sister, but there's absolutely nothing between them, and it's shown how Elena and Nico end up together.

If you're looking for a light-hearted, comedy romance that dips its toes into the dark mafia realm with a hint of spice- This book is for you. 

This was my first book in the 'adult romance' genre and I was surprised at how tame this book was. But, it upheld a slow-burn lustful relationship between Mafia Don Nico and sweet little Elena that blossomed into a love story. 

Totally what I was expecting growing up reading fan fictions on Wattpad when I was twelve. 

Main character was extremely possessive? Check
                                                   controlling but in a 'I care about you' way? Check 
                                                   dominant? Check 
                                                   ready to kill anyone who so even touched his woman? Check 

Swiftly moving onto the next book which follows two characters in the same universe. The second book follows step-mum to Nico Gianna and FBI agent Christian. I am slightly more excited to follow an older couple with history to their relationship. Maybe character development is too much to ask for adult romances? We shall see. 

Spice Rating: 2/5
