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

This was probably the most domestic and "cute" mafia books I've ever seen. I surprisingly liked Cassio and Giulia because I usually don't like age gap books but this worked. Their relationship was really fast paced but I get it, and still enjoyed it. The part that explains what happened to Cassio's ex took me out lol. I physically had to put my kindle down tbh. Even though I did like this book, I wish there was a bit more action. There was also times where I wished there was more between Giulia and Cassio but all in all it was still good.

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.
