this was SO GOOD!!! the beginning was slower in the fact that not a lot happened & it was a bunch of info-dump but i enjoyed that. the banter between dante and elena >>>>> UNMATCHED. i have so much of it highlighted on my kindle because AH-MAZING. i absolutely loved them both so much. the last like 30% - ACTION PACKED. literally all the vibes i want in a mafia romance omfg. i am so excited to pick up the next one because omfg that ending had me melting 😌

Omg I love this book so much!!!! Elena and Dante are 🤌🏽💋 chef's kiss.
I loved how we were introduced to both characters and that you don’t really get their whole back story right away. Because as you learn more about this dark yet charming capo, his actions make so much sense. And as you learn more about Elena and how she grew up, it’s not a shock to see why she acts the way she does. I would 100% fight her entire family for her.Idc that her sister and ex are a better match, the fact that they cheated 🤮🤢🤮 I would be so fucking cruel to them that they wished they never stepped foot in NY again I am a ride or die for these two and I’m so excited to read the second book.
4/5 on the spicy scale. The dirty talk was immaculate in this book. I really think my favorite scene was the masturbation scene, when Dante put his cum on her lips 🥵🥵🥵🥵 goddamn was that dirty and sexy .
