This has to be the worst mafia book I've ever read. Its just rife with levels of misogyny I have never witnessed in my. LIfe. And it was writtern by a woman! Every man in this book can go to hell, yes even Nino. I cannot comprehend how he allows his brothers to talk to Kiara like that. I think there was a page where 'whore' was said 7 times. And there was a part where Remo tries to justify sexual exploitation. 
Also there was no plot. Absolutely zero plot. Nothing was happening. What a waste of time.

If you're going to mention 20 times that he takes her pulse with his thumb, you should maybe double- check because that's impossible. The thumb has its own pulse. I rolled my eyes every time. 

Not much plot, just a very slow burn during which she somehow cures his neurodivergence. Nothing believable. Lots of repetition and filler and some very stilted dialog that nobody would actually say. There are some weird sections where none of the characters use contractions.
