“Intimacy came with vulnerability and trust— things that would bring emotion into the mix.”
•mafia dark romance
•Arranged marriage
•Age gap(fc 20; mc early thirties-ish)
•trauma/mute FMC
•A-hole MMC
Three star may be to generous…
Noemi and Connor are set into an arranged marriage they were were obliged and forced into which allies both the Italians and the Irish. All about business and power.
Six months ago, Noemi got into a car accident with her mom and has guilt survival trauma. She has stopped talking due to the guilt and knowing that the killer is her own father and she can’t do nothing about it.
Connor on the other hand, has chosen Noemi as his wife(he had many options but he decides to choose her). Creepily, he was really curious on why N was mute and he wanted tobreak through it.
Opinion:
-Connor and Noemi’s relationship lack growth and chemistry(just bcz there is smut doesn’t mean there is actual romance)
-Connor is an a-hole for particularly forcing Noemi to tell him about her trauma and I dislike how N kinda romanticiz his caveman actions.
-and Connor gaslight Noemi quite a few times.
