Okay imma be real honest I’d say this book is a 4.9 ⭐️. It’s the epitome of every enemies to lovers. I love the transition from Nico and Adrianna to Nico and Elana. Where the family was Italian it was hard to keep track of who was who in the large family. Everything was delicately placed in the plot such a great read if your just starting dark romance. Definitely recommend. I would have loved an epilogue though that would be my .1 😖 anywho if you like mafia based romance this is the book for you. If you loved this book I would check out “The Brutal Prince”- by Sophie Lark.🍓

WOW just WOW.

He smoothed an absent hand down his tie. “Do you know what assuming gets you?”
“Killed?” I breathed.
His eyes fell to my lips. “Smart girl.”


I heard a lot about this book and must say I'm far from disappointed.

This man would eat me alive.
But he was so warm, felt so right, it was hard to even care.


Smut wise there are 3½ scenes, compared to the size of the book it really not much but the tension and overall story made up for it. 🌶🌶🌶/5.

I didn’t know what to do with this woman, but I did know I was keeping her. Every time I saw her, my blood burned hotter, searing the word mine into my chest.

Spoiler
I liked the MCs pretty much the whole book even though of course they had their faults. Nico being the biggest Asshole in the Cosa Nostra and Elena having a secret and lying to him. I had trouble sympathizing with her towards the end bcs I personally have trust issues bit she had her reasons. Miscommunication and in general the lack of communication is definitely a big theme her so be prepared.


She smiled. “So honest.”
“Always.”

Be ready for ⬇️
Mafia romance ✔️
Arranged marriage ✔️
"You are mine" kinda mmc ✔️
Trying not to fall in love ✔️ 
Extremely possessive mmc ✔️ 
Sheltered fmc ✔️ 

He was comfort, security, and need, all in one.
It had a name.
Home.


There are so much good quotes I could put in here it's crazy. But I hope the ones I chose will suffice.

“You’re enough for me.”

Enjoy👀💕

I liked this book although some things don't sit right with me.
It's a great book though, worth the read.

This was the classic slow burn & miscommunication trope for a majority of the book, but in a good way. My first mafia romance I’ve read so I don’t have much to base it on, but I thought it was a good read. I do think the spicy scenes could have been… spicier… considering he is in the mafia.
