🔫 mafia romance
💒 forced marriage
🥺 healing journey

Soooo fluffy and cozy. I liked this fast paced mafia romance!

Vittoria aka Tori, has lived a harsh life since her parents and step-mother died. Her step-brother is in charge of her and he's abusive. She's counting down the days til she's 25 so she can cash out her inheritance and run away from the Cosa Nostra life. Unfortunately for her, she catches the eye of the devil, Angelo Rizzo.

It was heartwarming to see Angelo not only rescue Torri from an abusive situation (though the methods are not exactly sane aka forced marriage), he had to learn how to earn her trust. Torri wasn't the most fiery character but still her arc of gaining a little confidence here and there and getting a loving family was so cute and satisfying.

I loved Angelo's obsession! He would do anything for her. He also just wants Torri to thrive so he advocated for her. He gave her power. 🥺👉👈 He's got a temper but he was always responsible for his actions and emotions.

Another thing I enjoyed a lot was Torri and Tiny's friendship! Their bond is soooo cute. I love that they watch romcoms together. 

Now, I wasn't too obsessed or mind blown. It was good to pass the time. The writing style gets a bit iffy for me here and there like why is everyone muttering all the time? And I didn't think there was a lot of depth. But I would come back for more from this author when I need a quick and easy weekend read to cozy up to. 🥰
