Bacaan ini tepat saat aku butuh bacaan ringan soal cinta-cintaan tapi gak harus menye-menye.
Cerita mobster yang diselipkan di dalamnya menambah efek tegang.

Not her being not even 18 years old yet. Why not make her 20? So gross.

Well well well , this was interesting
I saw a review that said this was the most chilled mafia book they'd ever read and i totally agree , the beginning was hard to read and i admit i skipped some things but then it was nice , especially the relationship between Giulia and the kids

This was fantastic, I loved every single minute of reading this. Is it too early to do a re read?! I also didn’t realise until part way through that this book is a part of a whole mafia universe. I can’t wait to read the rest of Cora Riley’s books

No puedo expresar con palabras lo mucho que disfrute de este libro! Sinceramente no sabía que esperarme, nunca había oído de nadie hablar ni recomendarlo. Pero quede sin palabras. Ves cuando estas tan enganchando con la lectura que no podes funcionar normalmente en tu día a día! Lo único que queres es llegar a casa para seguir leyendo. Bueno eso me paso con este libro!
Cassio y Giulia!! Por Dios que pareja!!!!! Ame cada segundo de este libro! Lo ame demasiado.
El problema fue extremadamente bien contado, muy original, la forma en que Giulia fue entrando poco a poco en el corazón de los niños y de Cassio. Realmente sentí que yo viví esta historia.
Sinceramente a masterpiece ❤️

When I read this book, I was expecting it to turn into something darker. I figured Cassio would be an anti-hero and Giulia would be a typical mafia female that just accepted her role as the wife of an Underboss. I was wrong. This book, while mafia, was something so much more.

Even though Giulia did step in and accept her role as a wife and also a surrogate mother, she became so much more. I wasn't expecting her, at her age, to handle it the way that she did. It was her that turned this story around. It didn't really feel like Mafia. In fact, if you took the element out of the story and just looked at the characters, it was about a man who had been betrayed, was struggling to stay afloat with two small babies, and found a woman, who together, fell in love. That was the beauty of the story. I loved seeing the kids and their interactions. I loved how the author depicted how much Cassio loved them especially in light of the huge secret that foreshadowed the whole book.

However, as much as I loved the story, I DID want to feel more of a connection with the mafia aspect of it. I am not sure how the author could have done that considering there were definite elements of that lifestyle in this story. Yet, for some reason, it just missed that extra that was in the Camorra series. I also didn't understand how Giulia could have a relationship with her parents by the end of the book., but that is me just nitpicking. I know some reviews and people feel like this was just a meh book but I didn't feel that way. in fact, I really enjoyed it.
