3.0

This book was a pretty okay start to this series. This was a decent mafia romance with some of my favorite tropes. Enemies to lovers, arranged marriage, and touch her and I’ll kill you. I thought this book started out strong, but progressively got cheesier as the story went on and became a bit rushed. There wasn’t as much angst as I would have liked due to minimal relationship development. They went from hating each other to love a little too quickly. This couple had some very spicy scenes and that was clearly the focus in their relationship. I was entertained throughout the story and read it in one sitting. I liked it overall and I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the series!
