The book had a more interesting plot, which was more complex than the first two books imo, but I found myself disinterested in some of the scenes. I feel like the two main characters had a connection, but there wasn't enough going on to convince me of their feelings for each other necessarily.

I also feel like we were left with a cliffhanger with the ending to some degree, I don't feel like all the ends were tied up.

Firstly, this was no bully romance. Nero was promised to be a vicious psychopath, but he actually was pretty soft and sweet (for a mafia romance mmc).

I was expecting the plot lines to be more suspenseful and they had the promise to make an addicting story, but they fell a bit flat. Which on the other hand, made this a cosy and easy read.

Nero was kind of misogynistic and Camille was a typical I’m-not-like-other-girls-character (but more in a way that she was written from that viewpoint and intention, but Cam herself didn’t really have that attitude). The relationship between Nero and Camille developed kind of weirdly, I feel like it didn’t have enough time to develop and suddenly they just were together.

Overall an entertaining, easy and quick read, and pretty much what I hoped for going in!

This book was good i still think Stolen heir is my fav so far i did also discover that the author has another series about the main characters of this series kids which i am definitely reading that i loved Nero in this book i found him funny at certain parts of the book in this book you only hear about Mikolaj and Nessa where you actually meet Aida and Callum again in this book i love how interconnected these books are they can be read as standalone and they all are happy ending but i do recommend to read them in order i love how you always meet a character in the book that your gonna see in the next i can’t wait to read Dante and Simone’s book next this series is a nice fast good read i did get anxiety more then any other book in this series so far but i still did enjoy it i also did love the Description of Neros appearance and the illustrations that gave me a better look at him😍😍😍overall im enjoying this series so much and i rated it five stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book wasn’t as good as the first or second if I’m being honest. I feel like I expected more than what I got if I’m being honest. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy it. 

Nero from the start was a sweetheart even if he was cold hearted and “bad”. You could tell from the start that he was going to end up falling for the girl he never noticed. Camille was a sweetie. She acted like she didn’t want to fit in or that she didn’t care about the opinions of other people, but as the story went on you see that get expanded on. I liked them both together and I liked how well they fit eachother.

I also love how there was no 3rd act conflict 😍 was surprised by that but it was insanely refreshing. The spice in it was hot and I love the drawings that get included every few chapters that expand on what is currently playing out.
