This was a good read! I really enjoyed the different characters and the story was well written. I would definitely recommend!

This is a must read for fans of mafia romance with hints of a Romeo/Juliet type of vibe. Ava and Nick have chemistry off the charts when they meet in a bar, extending into an all nighter with tons of heat. They part ways, only to have fate bring them back together in a crazy way that neither sees coming.

I liked the main characters, though I found myself liking the MMC much more. Maybe it was the family background of the FMC, they weren’t very likeable to me, and sometimes too much dislike takes away from the story.

All and all, this had some good excitement and romance. I would read future writings by this author

Thank you to Netgalley and Wattpad WEBTOON Book Group for the ARC of this novel; all opinions are my own.

I enjoyed Ava and Nick’s story. Ava might as well have been deathly allergic to commitment and Nick who is a tall drink of water, but a playboy finds themselves in a sticky situation. What was supposed to be a one-night stand leaves them wanting for more and later on, leaves them engaged!! Didn't see that coming, did you? Moving on, because you won’t get any more out of me. 😏

The chemistry between the two was amazing and I just loved them together. It was a bit cliche at times, but I loved it. I wish we could have seen more of the side characters, especially Vince and his wife. Vince’s wife seemed to put him through the wringer with her pregnancy hormones!
Overall, I enjoyed the story and am glad that Ava has someone who loves and cares for her. Ecstatic that Ava and Nick get their happily ever after.

this is a quick, romantic read that isn’t bad at all— it was just very much not for me! but it’s fast paced and entertaining enough to keep a reader satisfied.

Mob romance, lust at first sight, arranged marriage.
I loved the sibling bickering and relationships between Ava and her sisters and brother! I also liked seeing the character flaws of both Ava and Nick and how they both worked at fixing those flaws. Overall I loved the plot and the characters.
Trigger warning for drugs/cocaine.
Trigger warning (it's a spoiler though): pregnancy and miscarriage
Though this was a spicy novel most of the spice was only at the beginning. I do wish we had a bit more spice as Nick was so good in bed. 🌶️🌶️/5
I did not catch the flashback at the beginning and was super confused for a bit, it would have been helpful to have a header that said "last night" or something like that. Last critique is that there were a good number of spelling errors, enough to mention.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this arc!!

What a good book! I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. I loved the main characters! They had great chemistry and worked so well together. I loved how the book just flowed. My first by this author but will not be my last!!!
