Going into this book, I had no idea what to expect. I knew it was an age gap romance but I didn’t expect to read about an 18 and 31-year-old getting married. I also didn’t expect to absolutely love it!

What I thought was interesting, and something that I haven’t seen in other Mafia romances that I’ve read, is that the relationship between Giulia and the children are highlighted many, many times. I thought it was adorable to see Daniele and Simona grow more comfortable towards and around Giulia, especially when she takes on the role of “mom.” 

It’s also refreshing to see Giulia, a young woman who was a girl mere months ago, grow into a woman —— a wife and a mother. It’s almost like she was mature in that sense all along, despite everything that made her young. And I think her being young meant a lot to Cassio.

Cassio is hot. And I mean HOT hot. Like that man could run me over and I’d be the one saying sorry. Cassio and his family are everything I want in life. He’s sexy, intimidating, strong, and surprisingly humorous. I knew I was into older guys before reading this but HOLY HELL *whew* I am sold. If he’s not at least 30, that ain’t it. 

A romance I didn’t need, but a romance I wanted. I’m so happy I found Cora Reilly and I’ll DEFINITELY be reading more of her books in the near future.

“She wasn’t what I’d wanted in a wife, but hell, if she wasn’t exactly what I needed.” 🖤

This was my first mafia romance and what a change in dynamics. I really enjoyed it. I loved Guilia’s character — she is quirky, clever, and big hearted. 💗

A mi no me va mucho el age gap y creo que leí muy pocos libros que lo contengan. Soy muy recelosa con ese tema pero me animé a este libro y, sin embargo, si voy a ser honesta, tengo que admitir que me gustó este libro más de lo que pensé que iba a hacerlo. Me siento culpable por disfrutarlo? No más de lo que ya me sentí leyendo otros libros de Cora lol.
Me sorprendió el hecho de que la historia se aleja un poco de lo que Cora nos tiene acostumbras, encontrar acá un poco de esa especie de "romance rosa", más bien una hibridación del mismo, hizo que la lectura sea más amena. Fuera de eso, la base es la misma que la del resto de los libros de esta autora, así que no hubo alguna otra sorpresa porque ya estoy acostumbrada al mundo que ella construyó y a los tipos de personajes que suele manejar.
Una lectura entretenida que creo que puede funcionar como una muy buena forma de acercarse a esta Cora y su escritura si se busca comenzar a leerla.
