This book is amazing. Nino has my heart because he is so special so dreamy so caring so gentle towards Kiara and I just loved there bond even though nino assumed he wasn't capable of giving love he tried and tried until he felt it all. The confession at the end annoyed me I just wished it would have been atleast a chapter before the end but that's fine other than that I recommend if you are looking for arranged marriages , mafia romance etc.. this book is a must read !

Very emotional. Dark but touching. It was a book that fed a part of my soul that I didn't know was hungry. It was longing and yearning, hopeful and beautiful.

I usually don't review books that I rate highly. It's just like "yup that was good, and on to the next book!", but I really want to remember the emotions this book evoked in me.
Future self: Yeah, it's worth re-reading.

Stealing this from another reviewer beacuse YES, this is why it hit hard for me: "It was mostly a story about overcoming your demons with someone else."

When I say I am obsessed with the Camorra Chronicles, I want you to believe me. I love all of the books in this series but this one in particular just really gets me. Nino and Kiera have so much trauma and pain in their lives and watching them heal each other is so beautiful. I love this book!!

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.
