I didn’t really like this book I felt like everything was rushed and just moving way to fast I had no connection or care for the characters there were times in the book we’re I would think to myself these characters don’t even seem really in love it don’t even feel like they have a connection I’d wish that this book moved some slower and that most scenes weren’t rushed through there were some scenes that just felt unnecessary I really wanted to like this book and I’m still gonna try and read the other books in this series and see how it is this book has no cheating and no love triangles it’s a happy ending with no cliffhangers this book has spice but the intimate scenes in this book were fast not even 10 seconds of reading and they were over some of the tropes are Forced Proximity, Age Gap and Enemies to Lovers which the enemies to lovers ain’t like a strong enemies to lovers it’s more of a dislike to lovers overall I rated this book a 2 stars⭐️⭐️😭

“What would he do with me? I’m…nobody.”
“You’re my wife. Hurting you would mean hurting me.”

“I don’t care what we agreed to. You’re mine now and I’m not letting you go.”

🗡️ First person dual POV
🗡️ First in a series that can be read as stand alone (I read book 2 first)
🗡️ Arranged marriage — blackmail to save father’s life
🗡️ Mafia romance
🗡️ Artist / mafia boss
🗡️ Age gap
🗡️ Nicknames 
🗡️ Banter 👌🏻
🗡️ Toxic family 
🗡️ Tension & spice 🥵
🗡️ Insta-love
🗡️ Protective & possessive MC 🙌🏻
🗡️ ‘My wife!’
🗡️ Well established secondary characters
🗡️ MC growth: trust, overcoming past trauma. 
🗡️ Epilogue 
🗡️ Quick read
• Issues with Nina’s family are never resolved fully — she puts her life in danger, marrying Roman, to fix his mistake.
• Third act breakup resolves quickly. Doesn’t for the severity with which the situation was presented.

A quick novella. Not really enemies to lovers, more like strangers to lovers or forced marriage.

Twisted mafia romance but with heartwarming moments and humour. The disability rep was good to see and I liked Nina and how in control she was. Quick and easy read.

This was a big meh for me. Loved the disability rep with Roman but that was about it. The fake marriage just did not make sense- how does a 6 month temporary marriage to someone who is pretending to be flighty and dumb on purpose give reassurance to your men that you’re still the boss?
