Mmmh I wish I actually remembered what happened in this book but unfortunately it is extremely forgettable. I probably should have just put it in the dnf pile but it was a short and quick read ~ I just can't remember the plot or the characters or what happened or anything that matters lolol
Devoured is not an accurate enough word for what I did to this book. While I read it in one day because it was crack, I found myself not wanting it to end. I was smiling at the end of the BONUS epilogue. SMILING AT A BONUS EPILOGUE, that is unheard of until this day.
For being a mafia romance, there was a lightness that I adored. I never once questioned the love between these characters. Both characters with broken childhoods finding themselves falling uncontrollably in love with a person they never expected.
It all started on night when our mobster is running from the cops and flees onto Payton's balcony, these first few scenes you really got to let the suspension of disbelief take hold. Their love was unexpected (and completely obsession on Nero's side) and so unrealistic but god damn did I love it.
One of my biggest qualms in books is the lack of happiness we get to see. The story follows them falling in love and learning all these new things, maybe things are happy for a little, boom third act conflict, and then ending and epilogue. We got so much happiness and this simplistic texts and common shared moments too this story to another level. I loved it.

okay listen this book will always have a special spot in my heart is it five stars? no but it made me love love and that makes me a happy gal.
I think I liked it
This book was very hyped up for me and I was excited to read it. I love seeing myself in book and I loved seeing a plus size FMC get loved on. But I'm going to be so honest some of the dialogue was so cringey!! I almost had to DNF when he talked about her “virgin blood” I think I'm glad I kept reading and it was a quick read for me but I'm just not sure
This was a wildly addicting dark mafia romance
Just the right amount of dark without being too much.
We see the red flags and accept them any way
The man is obsessed with Payton, and he shows it. She is his; and he does what is necessary to make that happen and keep her. She is more than willing so it's all good.
Can't wait for the rest of the series
This book was so good and I just loved how they first met. And how possessive he is over her. I just loved their chemistry. It makes me want to read the rest of the series.
