4⭐️ 2.5🌶️
MOOD: challenging, tense
TROPES: one-night stand, surprise pregnancy, arranged marriage (kinda)
GENRES: mafia romance, billionaire romance

MAIN CHARACTERS: Anna Keller (30 FMC) and Nico Fury (40 MMC)

THE GOOD: I loved that not only is Anna a curvy girl but that both main characters are older. Nico is not a good guy and that is made very clear from he start and it never bothers Anna even though she does have a few moments where she thinks she needs therapy :D The spicy scenes are good (starting at like 10% in so a fast burn?) and there's a good mix of side characters to keep the b-plot rolling.

THE NEUTRAL: Not much happens. There is a b-plot but overall the book takes place over maybe 4 months cause there is a time skip. There are a few main plot points that are hit but it still felt like nothing happens even within the relationship - they get together and that's kinda it, they're together - which might be why it was such a quick read.

THE MEH: Too much with the side characters Luc & Angel - I already know who their books are going to center around. Or at least it feels like I do but maybe there will be a surprise. I'm also not a fan of miscommunication or whatever steps in for the "third act breakup" here. Luckily it's short lived since this is a short read but I could have done without it.

CW: murder, violence, death of a sibling, death of a parent, blood, pregnancy, alcohol, drug use
Note: the author does provide a list but it's of tropes & content and covers the whole series.
DISCLAIMER: I received an advance review copy. This is my honest review.
