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.
