so i dont think this book is bad, but it just, i expected more of this.
okay, the guy is like so madly in love with her and all, and it’s all rly cute. and im glad that they both have a fked mental health and insecurities. but this book was like, meh.

the writing was good. definitely. but some words were just unnecessary. like idc what a table looks like, yk? and sometimes there was no proper description at all so it was hard to imagine things.

the girl is lowkey such a y/n, with her ‘petite frame’ and her little weight (she’s barely 5ft). that threw me off a bit. and then the guy is like giant, massive. tbh i dont fk with those proportions, gives me pick me vibes.

i do love their characters though; the girl is a complete badass and the guy is like a “look at her in a wrong way and youre dead” type of guy. i know many (myself included) love that shit.

it’s not bad, it’s a great book. just wasn’t rly for me bcs it didnt rly captivate me in a way some other books do.

This is somehow not a dark romance even with the love interest being a mafia boss.

I enjoyed that there were no cnc scenes and I believe this book could be recommended to people who want to find out if they could like dark romances, because this book definitely has the glorification of violence typical for dark romances, but without the relationship between the fMC and mMC being dark as he treats her very respectfully, does not cross any of her boundaries and so on...

The fMC is not involved at all in the mafia business and while her ability to play other characters is cool she is not giving...bad bitch

- he falls first and harder
- like a mafia romance but make it hallmark with sex scenes (not that much depth but the romance was sweet)
- spice 1/5 (not that low of a quantity but not very detailed and quite vanilla, no tension was created so even the open door scenes were boring)

Interesting story with a character dealing with disabilities and it had an interesting  way to deal with ptsd in new relationships.
