Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

Caterina As the only daughter of a formidable capo, my existence unfolded within the confines of a gilded cage. At eighteen, I would become a pawn in the intricate game of power, destined to be wed to a high-ranking member of my father’s regime. My fate oscillated between my father's grasp and that of my future husband. Fleeing was not an option; they would track me down relentlessly. In an act of both self-preservation and rebellion, I sought refuge in a local convent—the sole sanctuary untouched by the shadows of the mafia. Yet, before I could take my final vows, the devil himself knocked at my door — a devastatingly handsome blonde-haired, blue-eyed rogue. With an Irish accent that sent shivers down my spine, he declared me his future wife. No one had touched me; no one would. But despite my aversion to a forced marriage, an irresistible attraction brewed between us— for he was both poison and wine. Callum When I abducted a nun, my expectations were simple—she'd be submissive, pliable, the ideal mafia wife. Little did I imagine that the fiery brunette would wield a mouth and body I craved, both in and out of the bedroom. She was a means to an end—a marriage forged out of convenience, a strategic alliance with an enemy family to solidify our standing in the underworld. Tradition dictated that I claim her, yet the last thing I'd do is coerce her. She won't be forced. I promised she would beg me to take her, and anyone who dared to touch her would die. For she was mine and mine alone. In the unforgiving realm of the underworld, brace yourself for an electrifying romance pulsating with danger and desire.

    REVIEW
    Score: 3/5
    POV: Dual
    Heat Level: 5/5
    Tropes: Enemies to lovers; Mafia Irish/Mafia Italian; Alpha MMC

    This was way cheesier than I expected. It also felt a bit all over the place. It was this weird mix of like soft and gushy and darkish? There always were a good bit of typos which I found strange since it seems this author has written a lot of books so I would think she had an editor? There was literally nothing special about this. I won’t reread it and honestly probably wouldn’t read the 2nd book. At least no interest at this time.
    3/5
