Ehhh the book was straight forward and predictable. The MMC was obsessed with the FMC being innocent and a virgin. I will say that usually in mafia books, the arranged marriage is met with some type of resistance. The FMC kind of just accepted it and told him it’d be a true marriage. So it was kind of lackluster. Angelo didn’t play about Tori though. A lot of over explaining as well. There was barely even a conflict.

The MMC in this one respected the FMC more than I'm used to in mafia romance, earning it another .25 stars than normal! And it didn't drag and the FMC didn't make stupid decision after stupid decision so all in all a win!

Oh I love this book 😍😍😍 I’ve always wanted to read it and here it is. I was in a mafia mood and I remembered this book. The book is so good 😊 I love Angelo. At first he’s bossy, dangerous, ultra protective and hyper possessive but the more you read the book, the more you just fall in love with him 🤭🤭

He treats Vittoria like the apple of his eyes and takes the time to listen to her, to put her at ease, to make her smile and happy. He doesn’t force things on her; on the contrary, he gives her everything and the time she needs to trust him gradually 🥹🥹

The love he has for her is priceless 😭😭😭 I read the whole book in 3h and I couldn’t stop; it was so good and easy to read and fast paced. Good amount of spice (🌶️🌶️/5) and be careful though ⚠️ some violent scenes are described ⚠️ other than that this book is soo good

It was good for what it is lol. There’s some questionable themes especially about how women are worthless after losing their virginity but tbh it had me giggling so whateves
