πŸ”« Mafia romance
πŸ’• ballet dancer x Mob boss
πŸ₯Ί second chances
❀️ "dance for me"

Damien is the last guy Pippa should fall for: a criminal who works for the Lombardi crime family. She wants nothing to do with the criminal world due to her family getting burned...and her uncle being the head of the Boston Irish Mob.

Damien and Pippa can't deny their strong attraction to each other though. But things get complicated when her uncle demands she marry Damien for a sake of a contract connecting the Lombardi family to his and Pippa refuses.

❀️ I enjoyed this book! The heroine was relatable and hilarious in the first half. The relationship was actually pretty cute.

🀣 I lived for the mafia related relationship advice to raise your standards.

<<"Get you a man who's spent their entire life committing crime while evading pr*son time. They pay attention to every small detail.">>

πŸ₯° Damien always self sacrificing for Pippa. He'd give her his heart if she needed one. He'd take all the pain for her if he could 😭

πŸ₯Ί I loved all the sweet gestures Damien did for Pippa. He's so protective and gave her everything she wished for and more.

🀣 I loved seeing all the side characters again and hearing what the Marchetti's are up to. Luca though! Will he and Isa be a thing? 🀩

❌️ unfortunately the second half got a little dodgy for me on the heroine's part. I think her character arc got weak and passive when shit hit the fan. 😭 I wished Pippa fought more for the relationship. She didn't need to be all πŸ”«πŸ”« but I wish I saw some effort like trying to work things out and *communicating*

πŸ˜… the resolution also felt rushed. I would've liked to see some more stuff on page.
