Miscommunication tropes, enemies-to-lovers literal dramatics, and the rough tone of language, considering the age, were quite immature. There's this immediacy that was toxic to a relationship to start off, but it was easily consumed for the most part due to the short chapters. I'm not a big fan of the violence, and the storyline was a bit lackluster; the scenes were short, and if it was fast-paced, it was just that it was detailed on parts I don't like that much. Overall, there were areas that could have been improved and some side characters to be given spotlight.

This was my first mafia romance and I must I really enjoyed this story. I liked seeing the progression of Aida and Callum’s relationship (enemies to arranged marriage to love). I think their relationship grew in a very natural way. I think this book is great for fans of action. I’d recommend this book and I’m excited to continue on with the series!
