inner peace had found me when giulia stepped into my life. i didn’t have to drive hundreds of miles to seek a beach house for that. now i only had to come home to my wife. too beautiful for words—inside and out.

if a song could describe this book it would be — young and beautiful by lana del rey

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

This was an interesting read. I actually thought about dnfing bcs the beginning felt a bit boring and humorless. I also had a hard time getting to like the MCs in the beginning. But I couldn't stop lmao. It was a one day read so I thought "Ehh let's keep going."

Smut wise I was a bit disappointed. There's good smut don't get me wrong but there could have been way more. There were scenes that could have become such great smut scenes that were basically overwritten saying "they had sex." Or " they made love." Overall I would give the smut a 2,5/5 🌶.

This was definitely the kinda book were I came for the smut and stayed for the plot—which was incredible btw I liked it more than I would have thought.

I'm glad I didn't dnf lol.

This book includes ⬇️
Mafia ✔️
Marriage of convenience
Widowed Underboss needs a new wife ✔️
Young children ✔️
Young wife/mother ✔️
Grumpy x Sunshine-ish ✔️
Possessive mmc ✔️
Quirky fmc ✔️

Him: “You brought chaos into my life.”

Her: “You like my kind of chaos.”

Enjoy!

I struggled to begin with this book. I usually love an age gap and mafia but this age gap was harder for me. The Male Main Characther talked about how he was uncomfortable having an arranged6
0 marriage with a girl that turned 18 one day before their wedding but he was suddenly okay with it at the right times? I overall enjoyed the storyline but that one fact was hard for me.

idk what i expected when someone said this was their favorite mafia romance book, but it wasn’t this. so much potential, but this fell so short

This was probably the most domestic and "cute" mafia books I've ever seen. I surprisingly liked Cassio and Giulia because I usually don't like age gap books but this worked. Their relationship was really fast paced but I get it, and still enjoyed it. The part that explains what happened to Cassio's ex took me out lol. I physically had to put my kindle down tbh. Even though I did like this book, I wish there was a bit more action. There was also times where I wished there was more between Giulia and Cassio but all in all it was still good.
