Definitely read the trigger warnings. But I DEVOURED this book. A lot funnier than I expected it to be, and the slow burn had me giddy by the end. The spicy scenes were great and I loved the ending, which is honestly not something I can say often.

I've dabbled in dark romance a tiny bit and wanted to try some more, and I heard Lark's books were a good place to start. Omg, I ate this up! I'm here for the "touch her and die" trope and no one is more surprised than me. 😂 And I laughed and giggled and swooned at this book, a book about the mafia. I was not expecting that at all. I'm immediately picking up the next book in this series. I loved the banter between Aida and Callum. I loved the family loyalty from both sides. And I loved that there was character art throughout the book. I'm a visual person, so those helped tie the story together. The only thing I didn't like about this book was the politics, and I think it's just because I wasn't expecting it, so I didn't care for it.

Sophie Lark did it again. It is my first mafia romance fron her and it was joyfull.
I love the FMC Aida. This character made me laugh so many time with her sassy mouth. She is a hell well written character.
Just for her, you should read this.

It is:
- mafia romance
- enemies to lovers
- strong and skilled FMC 
- arranged marriage 
- forced proximity

It was a perfect reading balancing between the love story and the plots.
This is a good audiobook also (duo POV narrators)

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.
