I love this author more and more with every book I read!
The only reason why I knocked off a star is because mafia romance just ain't my thing.
I love alpha heroes especially when they're as bossy and domineering as Enrico but the business side of the mafia is something I am not the least bit interested in.
I also felt the ending was quite rushed and all the troubles and issues were very quickly dealt with.

GAH- so frustrating.
I gave it an extra star just for the cover model, that was brilliant marketing there I tell you. That man was the only reason I read this book after reading the reviews.
I hated that the author used the phrase "their face fell" about 1x every 5 pages. It did not fit and was over used.
It was a bit of an angsty read for me, so much happened and it felt like too much. Too much emotional drama- I was so disappointed in Enrico, I had hoped he would have cared for her more to not be sleeping with prostitutes while they were apart. Spoiler? oops.
Not feeling very charitable at the moment... the author managed to keep me from dnf'ing it but I was not very happy about it. So it is well written, just the characters and their actions were upsetting. Maybe that is what the author wanted- mission accomplished. I just won't be reading more from her.

ENRICO FERRARA!!! love him and Olivia Reynolds. i love how they met and that they later reconnected by him making her come to italy for a job. enrico is a mafia boss after his father and grandfather die. Lombari is kookoo but at least he died in the end. Enrico’s sister and his half brother also have a little thing going on which is crazy, i think that’s what the next book is about. also, enrico’s mom was kind of a biatch, didn’t really like her. also, i love how they had a child in the end and got married and stayed on the island. alsooo, loved olivia’s friend from australia and omg jennifer biatch, but at least she helped in the end. overall, a good book and good spicy scenes.

interesting
This was an interesting book. I like how the story continues with a brother’s story for the next book. The book was a bit long so sometimes it dragged. Also sometimes the heroine got on my nerves with her insecurities, docile behavior and naïveté. The hero was way too volatile for my liking.
But overall it was an interesting story

She never lets me down!
TL Swan never lets me down. Her books get better and better, my heart gets taken deeper and deeper and my reading gets faster and faster when it comes to Ms. Swan’s books. Sweet Rico and precious Olivia have stolen my heart. I reread portions of this book to get ready for the next book that is coming out later this month (February 2022). I can truly say that this book had unexpected twists and turns, but in the end I got my happily ever after that I’m obsessed with. Now the spicy scenes deserve all the credit in this book. Let’s just say Rico is a God. I would highly recommend reading this book to prepare for the next one and we can only imagine where that book will be taking us.

I got bored of the back and forth misunderstandings and ghosting.
2. Why is this book 660 pages as a contemporary mafia romance?
3. How can I sue the author for making me think of Italian men as cringe and
4. finally, this book is riddled with cheaters yuck

I have been reading a lot of T.L. Swan books and I have not seen any that I didn't like. They are all so long and the characters so well developed and the plot well flushed out.
Here we follow Olivia who has just arrived in Italy for a 5 week holiday, she is hoping that this holiday that she has saved up for years for would bring the much-needed perspective to her life especially since she broke up with her long time boyfriend. This is where she comes across hot policeman Enrico who she ends up having a short-winded sexual relationship with. Shit goes down and she gets arrested for drug possession and she is thrown in Italian Prison.

I loved it and it was good until the ending with the part of him in a way connecting with sophia again. I felt like it was unnecessary and made no sense to the story because he almost cheated on her.
