i miss when the domain of badly written mafia books was confined to wattpad. honestly who is publishing this shit bc when the preteen fanfic writers get a hold of them all these âdark romanceâ authors r going out of business and to hell.Â
its one thing to be a kid writing shit like this but an ADULT ??? fully grown bitches writing and publishing and promoting utter garbage like its a job!! which it is i guess but honestly i would rather work shovelling animal feces or whatever than unabashedly producing something so laughably appalling đ
and at this point discrimination isnt even a topic to be touched upon its practically a staple in this niche ass genre where crime families r as abundant as mommy vloggers and every girl eventually has her meg march arc.Â
tiktok âbooksâ r a pyramid scheme coordinated by the government to siphon our brain cells for dangerous classified mission impossible level experiments and shit
if u enjoyed this bookâŠim sorry babes a 7â11 guy with a fifteen inch cock and rock hard abs with a lopsided grin and a disregard for women (until u duh) and caskets overfilling with stacks who exclusively drinks whiskey or beer or scotch and rescues u from an arranged arranged marriage (a marriage not yet arranged but arranged to be arranged) by trapping u into yet another arranged marriage with (can u guess?!) his lordship is not gonna swoop along and lose all his so called self control (he cant even refrain from purposefully antagonising half the men in ur family to assert dominance) when he sees ur innocence and ur doe eyes and ur cute little bikini đ„șđ„șÂ
sorry girlies no alpha king coming to sexually assault u but oh its not sexual assault bc u liked it didnt u!! how fortunate.

ujint's review against another edition
this book in a realistic nutshell up till the one third of the book because thatâs when i decided to DNF it:
âą a complete waste of time
âą disgusting. iâll explain
â> 1. heroine, a dude with unresolved emotional problems, basically manipulates hero.
â> 2. heroine is heroâs soon-to-be step sis but hey, who cares because the lust for each other is mutual, right? it is. TO THEM.
â> 3. the mc and love interest doesnât even have the slightest romantic spark for each other. theyâre all âoh heâs so intimidating and dark it makes me blush soooooo hardâ or âoh she has such a shapely ass my groin is taking control over my thoughtsâ and such. no chemistry. only lust.
â> 4. it makes me bang my head against the wall that the only unique and special aspect Nico seems to notice about Elena is her ass. and body. and did i also mention: her sweet, perfect ass that is the talk of NYC?
â> 5. the heroine is a complete asshole. heâs literally (i do notice that iâve been using that word quite a lot in this review but no matterâ) such a douche that he canât even think of a nice, wholehearted compliment for Elena, OR EVEN HIS FIANCĂE. Elena is known to him as a seductress in love with someone else other than him, and also has a perfect ass. Adriana is known as the weird, freak sister that he has to marry. WHAT THE WHAT?!?!?!? HAVE YOU NO SENSE OF DECENCY?? i geeettt that this is a mafia story but come ooooooooon all we see of Nico is him being a ruthless dickhead who treat women as objects.
â> 6. i also do think Elena should be shaded just as much as Nico because first of all have you no shame of the infidelity between you and your soon-to-be brother-in-law? i honestly canât remember her feeling remorseful about sneaking around with Nico when heâs supposed to be with Adriana
â> that ALSO bring me to the fact that instead of simply talking to his fiancĂ©e and getting to know her interests, Nico oh so freely demands a list of Adrianaâs personality from Elena like HELLO?? and Elena had the non-audacity to just oblige????? where is your sense of pride girlie?????
âąthis book infuriates me to the core that it makes me want to jump off a building.Â
okay i think that about sums all of my rants. who knows my madness may even bring up a few points i also despised.

There just literally wasnât a plot to it, and it felt so bland and boring. I didnât love the writing either. It was very difficult to follow and I just didnât seem to have it in me to read almost 300 pages just to finish it when I know they get together in the end. So I wouldnât recommend this book to people. Especially when it has SO MUCH hype around it. Cmon nowÂ
