I love Roman and Ninas banter omg!!! Nina, is an artist who is blackmailed into marrying the head of the Russian mafia after her father embezzled 3 million dollars. Roman, is the leader of the Russian mob who is learning how to walk after an explosion that destroyed his knee. I love this book. I was kicking my feet and giggling the whole time. My only issue is the whole "Nina is like a sprite she's so small" thing. It's weird anytime an author does this and Nina is not an exception unfortunately. Otherwise the banter, plot, and conclusion were all awesome and it was a fun read overall.

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⭐️⭐️😭
