the age gap is fucked, like i’m fine with age gap but this is a freshly 18, like fresh fresh, with a 32 year old and that’s fucked. there’s other shiy i don’t like too but that’s it mainly. i skipped quite a lot of paragraphs and finally decided i can’t with it anymore.

I loved this book it's a great age gap mafia romance book (13 years) but part of me hated that for most of the book she was 18 while he was 31 but other than that I think that guilia is an amazing character and so is cassio. I also kind of hated the way he thought that she should "obey" him but we got over that part.  I think cassio had an amazing character development and it's over all an easy greate book i def recommend. I read it in a day it was a bit boring at first but it gets better and cuter. Overall a must read

She wasn’t what I’d wanted in a wife, but hell, if she wasn’t exactly what I needed.

This was an interesting read. I actually thought about dnfing bcs the beginning felt a bit boring and humorless. I also had a hard time getting to like the MCs in the beginning. But I couldn't stop lmao. It was a one day read so I thought "Ehh let's keep going." 

Smut wise I was a bit disappointed. There's good smut don't get me wrong but there could have been way more. There were scenes that could have become such great smut scenes that were basically overwritten saying "they had sex." Or " they made love." Overall I would give the smut a 2,5/5 🌶. 

This was definitely the kinda book were I came for the smut and stayed for the plot—which was incredible btw I liked it more than I would have thought. 

I'm glad I didn't dnf lol.

This book includes ⬇️
Mafia ✔️ 
Marriage of convenience 
Widowed Underboss needs a new wife ✔️ 
Young children ✔️ 
Young wife/mother ✔️ 
Grumpy x Sunshine-ish ✔️ 
Possessive mmc ✔️ 
Quirky fmc ✔️ 

Him: “You brought chaos into my life.”

Her: “You like my kind of chaos.”

Enjoy!

Infidelity and incest concerning the MMCs past wife not him or our FMC. Animal cruelty = the neglect of an animal in this case also connected to the past wife and luckily only a minor part of the whole story.

i hate age gaps so that was extremely uncomfortable for me. i wish she was at least 21, i couldn't look past it. the writing & plot was very wattpad-esk which made the book easy to read but it was still uncomfortable especially at the more mature scenes.

I found this story enjoyable for the most part. The thought I wouldn't enjoy this book in the beginning. I found some of the things that happened at the beginning to be disgusting and some of the traditions were downright horrible. 

But as the story goes on it gets better at least the main characters of the story do. Quite a few of the side characters remained to be absolutely horrible in my opinion all in the name of wanting the best for their kids or their family when I'm reality their actions were for selfish reasons. 

Other than these small issues spattered throughout the story, I did end up really liking it by the end. 

I love how despite being tested like a child throughout the book, Giulia stuck her ground and didn't take anything from anyone especially from like her husband and the men in this book and I like how she fought for her version of a happy family despite all the obstacles placed in front of her. 

She may have been one of my favorite characters in this story. She made the best of the situation she was forced into and proved everyone wrong while putting her new family above that of her blood family. This story shows that blood relation isn't everything.
