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)
Moderate: Murder, Panic attacks/disorders, Sexism, and Sexual assault
Minor: Child abuse, Domestic abuse, Injury/Injury detail, and Torture

Standalone
Tropes/Plot details:
- MMC buying expensive thing to FMC
- Height difference (FMC is 5ft)
- Age Gap (FMC is 24, MMC is 35)
- 3rd act breakup
- Pregnancy at the ending
Steam: All the "smutty" scenes lasted less than a page.
I read this bc of an insta post that said sth like:
"When he orders his man to sit down when she enters a room bc it made her nervous/bc of trauma"
It was a scam, it was mentioned only once and it lasted a paragraph.
My opinion:
If not for the stupid 3rd act divorce I would even have said I liked this.
Overall: it was bad but I've read worse.
Also even with HEA their relationship probably wouldn't last long, by the end of the year they'll be divorced again lol
