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.

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.
