This is one of those books where you read it because you’re in the mood for smut. Extremely spicy, goofy back and forth banter, mobsters.

poupimali's review against another edition

funny lighthearted tense slow-paced

4.5

I absolutely loved Rowan and Mila’s story.

- mafia
- age gap
- kind of enemies to lovers with a bit of Stockholm syndrome
- Hilarious and sunchine FMC
- grumpy tense MMC
- Slow burn

I really laugh out loud many times because of the banter between them.
And I am really a sucker for mobster who are speaking a foreign language that the FMC doesn’t understand.

morally gray mafia mmc and literal sunshine yellow girl stockholm syndrome turned love story? i was hooked from the get-go.

potential unpopular opinion: ronan might be my favorite mmc from series. it's a close one between him and his brother.

D’yavol may have stolen my breath. But I gave him my heart.

i completely adored mila and ronan. they're also both really funny and their banter was so good.

Great bratva romance, enemies to lovers, grumpy x sunshine, kidnapping, he’s obsessed with her tropes. I liked the beginning of the story and how she has no idea about what was happening at first, it was a nice twist on the usual mafia romance. Really enjoyed the dynamic between Mila & Ronan and all the notes (so cute)! Some cliche parts but overall enjoyed and the spice was great.
