YOU GUYS 馃槶 I'm just gonna say I wanna imprint this book on my skin. This one was unreal on how much I loved the characters and how attached I got to them. I want more 馃槶 I want to read more about my babies, they deserve a whole series about them. Damiano & Jordan <3 I'm just so in awe! Oh and this cover is amazing, my favourite of the series, the model is something else. Perfectly matched Damiano's energy and aura. Perfection, really.

I don't know what it says about me but I thought this was hysterical. There's a quote in the book where Jordan is exasperated with himself because of all the people he had to want, it was this freaking guy. Gah. My favorite dynamic.
So Jordan is hired by his boss to pose as his boyfriend at a family event so the real boyfriend can be kept out of danger since it's a mafia wedding. Jordan is like, sure, I have bills and flies over. Everyone in the family seems to be scared of one guy and Jordan is of course drawn to this guy. They get kidnapped together and held for over a week and trauma bond, hard.
I cackled at a few points because this big bad mafia guy is clearly a cat in a human suit. He's skittish and hates everyone but his person.

My opinion might be the least common or the least desirable but my criticisms about the book seem to be extremely outlier-ish.
Just a Bit Bossy will forever be my favorite. I loved the banter and comedy above everything else. It's a book I re-read several times a year. For this reason alone I was incredibly excited to read this book but it fell a bit short.
First, I was on board with how everyone could feel intimidated by this man. He really didn't give psychotic vibes but it didn't mean they weren't there. I was on board with even thinking he wasn't psychotic but had to do questionable things in order to survive. You learn the reasons why. For Pete's sake he's a mafia boss... is anything out of the realm of possibility.
What wasn't plausible was Jordan not feeling an ounce of scared while around the mafia and the mafia boss. What wasn't plausible was Jordan speaking up and making a room full of people he just met, speak to him in English because he feels it is disrespectful to speak in their native tongue in their native land. LIKE WTF. AND they did! That was bullshit. Please don't go to another country and force yourself on people. People do not have to speak YOUR language in THEIR country. It was cringe and a turn-off.
Jordan just felt way more privileged and entitled than I thought should be afforded to him.
I do think the kidnapping should have been an opportunity to get much closer and although the two did get closer it still felt incomplete when they were out of the situation. It didn't feel like it was enough to get to where they were in the story.
I'm now reading book 14 in the series and Jordan's brother is giving this overly important vibe as well. It's one thing to be confident and believe in yourself but it's another to think you are the universes' gift to humanity.

1掳relectura: 7/12/23 le bajo media estrellita porque no me encanto tanto como la primera vez.
4,5 estrellas.
OMG hac铆a tiempo que Alessandra Hazard no escrib铆a un libro tan bueno en esta saga.
Me gust贸 un mont贸n la pareja principal, creo que es momento ya de que acepte mi kink con el tema mafia...
Damiano y Jordan me encantaron y am茅 much铆simo como se fue dando su relaci贸n (que es sumamente irreal pero siempre lo es con estos libros), no hay tantas escenas de sexo como en anteriores tomos pero igual esta cargando de tensi贸n y posesividad y por eso se han convertido en una de mis parejas preferidas junto con Roman/Luke, y Tristan/Zach.
No le pongo las 5 estrellas porque me qued贸 debiendo un poco el final pero fue una incre铆ble lectura y probablemente lo vuelva a releer pronto.
