Firstly, this was no bully romance. Nero was promised to be a vicious psychopath, but he actually was pretty soft and sweet (for a mafia romance mmc).
I was expecting the plot lines to be more suspenseful and they had the promise to make an addicting story, but they fell a bit flat. Which on the other hand, made this a cosy and easy read.
Nero was kind of misogynistic and Camille was a typical I’m-not-like-other-girls-character (but more in a way that she was written from that viewpoint and intention, but Cam herself didn’t really have that attitude). The relationship between Nero and Camille developed kind of weirdly, I feel like it didn’t have enough time to develop and suddenly they just were together.
Overall an entertaining, easy and quick read, and pretty much what I hoped for going in!
