dante being italian was... like vivian, it also does unspeakable things to my insides.
“Per te aspetterei per sempre, amore mio.”
also can we talk about dante's groveling? *chefs kiss*
i also loved vivian and seeing her grow to where she finally knows her worth and finally stood up for herself, even against family, was so inspiring.

There was some character growth (they became slightly less extreme as the book progressed) but the spice in this book often felt like an afterthought to bandaid the tumultuous nature of the relationship. It didn’t really feel like there was much of a genuine bond or connection forged between the characters so it leaned very Wattpad-esque. Nonetheless, there was enough substance to keep me reading. It was a very light and easy read as it didn’t require me to think too much.

Our two main characters are the wholly unrelatable richy rich type of rich person. They were kinda annoying, Dante especially, and lack endearing charming qualities to make up for that. The writing is okay, much better during an action or a steamy scene and very clunky and lame during descriptive scenes or when the characters engaged in small talk. Yet I still read the book fairly quickly, after I finally got into it about a 4th of the way into it.
I’ll read the next one simply because that was the book my partner surprised me with, but I’m not sure I could make it through the seven I’m assuming will be published.
