the marriage of convenience the forced proximity the touch her and die vibes alllllllll the boxes got checked, AND IT WAS MAFIA!!! 🥵 I absolutely loved the relationship Michael and Elsie have. The little found family trope within was an added bonus. I love how he helped Elsie deal with her trauma and reconnect with her family. I didn’t even mind the 3A break up. I ate up every second of this book. I cried when Elsie got reunited with her parents and how protective she became of Sophia and watching Sophia fall in love with Elsie. Seeing Michael, Sophia and Elsie become a family chefs kiss. AND THE SPICE! 10/10
P.S the bond that Sophia and Michael have was adorable and also seeing how Michael hated the scar he got from saving Sophia but Elsie loves it.

Now, I like a lot of spice, but this book was more spice than plot. And a little too insta-love for me.
Elsie the FMC had been through nine years of being trafficked and sexually assaulted, but somehow within a week was head over heels in love with the MMC, Michael. Sophie, Micheal’s daughter, was an interesting touch to the story, and her backstory was maybe the most interesting part of the whole Book.
Were it not for needing a single dad and mafia story for a reading challenge, I probably would not have finished it.
