I'm not sure if any of you read mafia x reader stories when you were a child, but it's pretty much that, including the "I'm so different" pampered rich girl as a main character and the "I'm going to punish you but I can never bring myself to cause I have a soft spot for you" male lead. Only now also featuring veganism, because you can't hurt animals, but dating a guy who abuses you and forbids you from saying no to his sexual advances and murdered people is completely fine. Also the main character was the dumbest main character I have ever seen in my life.Â
I'm rating this 2 stars because the spice was okay and because it was sometimes funny.Â
Now, so you know what you're getting into, here are some of the worst parts in the book:Â
"He smiled. "Three thousand six hundred and fifty-two is a sum I could only aspire to meet-that is, if we're taking leap days into account. If not, minus two, and I may have a better shot."Â
Did he just do the math in his head? God, that was... hot."Â
- Yes, because being able to calculate 365×10+2 is truly a hard calculation.Â
"She was giving Ronan those big dark eyes that would be impossible for even Hitler to resist."Â
- Do I have to add anything?Â
"I can take your IUD out in this alley, and we can get started right now."Â
- No.Â
"I could fight him, but now his masculine scent surrounded me and confused my senses. His warmth soaked into my skin, forcing the resistance to melt within."Â
- Having sex with someone you don't want to have sex with because he smells good and is warm.Â
A last note: This book needs trigger warnings for the shit it light-heartedly drops on you.Â

i haven't felt physically violent in a while, but this book made me want to fight someone. also, made me hate the color yellow. also genuinely have no idea how this is meant to be a romance. ronan is deplorable piece of shit and mila is a self absorbed idiot.
