I was given an eArc in exchange of an honest review. 

Lets start with the fact that this book was amazing! It had me on chokehold by the start and I was unable to put this down. I devoured this story in less than 24 hours. And I'm already contemplating a reread. 

I loved that our FMC Del is plus size, incredibly strong, smart and absolutely badass! And that smart mouth on her. Damn. 

Enzo, oh Enzo. I have more feels than words about Enzo our MMC, but damn. What a man. He's the hot Devil incarnate, morally grey (or pitch-black) man who you'll never want to fix, you just embrace the darkness and dive into it. 

I loved especially the fact that we don't get a story where love of good woman or man makes the other person want to be better and try to be more. We get the story where people are accepted just the way they are, where no one tries to fix another, but they revel and embrace each other darkness. That's the real magic in here. 

The dedication in this book: 
For all the people who think they need to be fixed. You never did. — C
I love, love, love it. 😭❤️

And I couldn't write a review without mentioning the iconic #ChurchScene. The absolutely hottest thing I've read for a long while. It lives rent free in my head, I don't want to spoil any of it so I'm strongly advising you to read it yourself.

"I wasn't expecting to find sin in the flesh when I walked in, but here you are."
"I didn't think the Devil could enter a holy place."
"I like the pain sweetheart."

What you are getting in this book?
✔️ Mafia Romance
✔️ Age Gap
✔️ Trauma
✔️ Banter
✔️ Found Family
✔️ "Touch her and you die"
✔️ Embracing your darkness
✔️ The church scene 🥵

The pacing of the story was on point and overall the writing kept me hooked from the start. I loved the side characters and I'm totally in love with this book and Cass writing style. 😍

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

As usual, remember to read the trigger warnings before diving into this. There are some dark themes that might not be for everyone.
