I have so many issues with this book so let’s just start with the simplicity of: it’s a dark mafia romance, we have an alphahole MMC & enemies to lovers is the main trope at play.
2. Don’t get me wrong I love fast paced, but this was moving WAY too quickly for me. I mean like two to four weeks of knowing each other and suddenly she’s got a bun in the oven and they’re getting hitched because daddy mafia lord gave an ultimatum.
3. Hyperemisis Gradvarium rep was cool to see. But as someone who had HG while I was pregnant I found it a pretty unrealistic representation. Kat had one episode and then boom she comes home and no more issues arise.
4. Character development was painfully lacking.
5. I’m giving it one star for the 2% of smut that was bearable, and because it helped me fulfill a kindle achievement.
6. This man is a mafia lord, he has a black card and the man tells her to get whatever she needs. She buys a new pair of sweats. I was choking on my spit. RUN THE CARD HUNNY
7. When Dante said “We’ll just sleep on this side” instead of changing the sheets with a wet spot after s3ggs. BRUH 💀
8. I was FURIOUS when Kat saw her abusers, peed her pants terrified, and then Dante INSISTS she should confront her abusers then and there after cleaning herself up. This part made me physically ill. Man thought showing face to “stick it to em” was going to suddenly negate her experience and trauma from the scenario. Idgaf about your vengeance for her, that did not scream redemption or justice to me in the slightest.
9. So much telling and not enough showing.
10. Dante is a bad guy and he states it so many times but he does NOT soften up for the FMC in my opinion. He’s just an asshole. His redeeming qualities are that he has a black card & he’s a munch. I said what I said.
This was simply not for me. Writing was lacking, characters were lacking, and plot was lacking.

The writing is a little off sometimes. There's some grammar mistakes here and there and I feel the author totally missed the description of the FMC??
But the plot and twist and what ever else happend in the book was very entertaining!
I cannot wait to start on "Joey" now!!!
