I also quite liked the family dynamic where Kiara has to live with Nino and all of his brothers, but I wish we could have had more interactions between them. It felt a little empty now. Precious and loving. Two words I'd describe their relationship. They were two broken souls with tragic pasts and the way they slowly learned to accept one another was beautiful. They’re my favorite couple in the series so far! <3 Gah!! Without giving away ANY spoilers, this story was magnificent!! There is something about Cora Reilly and arranged marriage stories. She truly has the magic touch. I swear she had me eating out of her hands the minute I entered her world with Luca and Aria and now that there is a spinoff series, I am in mafia dark romance HEAVEN!!

I will find the man who raped you and slaughter him like a pig on these sheets. Do you think that will be enough blood for your family?”

The Falcones were going to feel cheated. A sacrificial virgin was to be given to the monsters in Las Vegas for a promise of peace. I was never given the chance to be a virgin. That choice had been taken from me. Painfully ripped from me. This book was so easy to read. I never felt like I was reading reading yk? That makes sense alright, leave me alone. Oh did I say Kiara needed a hug? Welp so does my love Nino Falcone (and you know what we're also going to include Remo as well). So let us all attempt to wrangle Nino and Remo into the biggest group hug known to man (hopefully we won't get stabbed or maimed in the process ;) This author is just so on the ball with this type of fiction and I always know she's going to deliver me a belter of a story. I could totally see why Kiara fell for Nino, but I didn’t understand it so much the other way around. It seemed to me like Nino mostly felt a duty to her as a husband, and that’s why he treated her as well as he did. But he would have probably treated anyone that way if he were married to them; it wasn’t because of Kiara specifically. And that’s what I didn’t like.

You know, for a psychotic killer, Nino is super sweet, affectionate and patient. Seriously, after reading a few of the Necessary Evils books by Onley James, I’m starting to think that sociopathic men is where it’s at. And when it came to the smut.. whoowee this man really knows how to get a girl worked up. There were times when I was like Mr Sir you had no right to be that hot.

The most bleak and horrifying wedding night I’ve ever witnessed. Yet also the moment I fell in love with Nino Falcone. It was an arranged marriage meant to bring peace and a truce amongst two feuding mafia outfits. Except it also brought together two broken people destined to find happiness, healing and love. now, i wanna adresse the girlies. once again, i’ve seen this book literally everywhere and everyone was talking about the mmc as the perfect man. the gem of the mmcs. well, if these are nowadays standards i don’t want them. nino (mmc) and his brothers (minus adamo) are the most disgusting men i’ve ever read about, so far. i hated every minute of being trapped in nino’s head. every misogynistic and macho thought or conversation he shared with his brothers was the epitome of 'regressing the image of women'. their only hobbies ? their only knowledge and culture? their conversation skills? all orbited around one single thing: women. or precisely : p#ssies, virgins and virgins’ blood and of course wh🤗res . Kiara is the daughter of a traitor. A stigma that never goes away. Entering into a marriage with Nino is the last thing she wants, yet there is no choice. Her husband may be ruthless and deadly, but the bloodbath of their wedding night makes him the dark knight she never thought she deserved. The Falcone Brothers ✧ Man I just love this family (except maybe Savio. . .he got on my nerves in this one). I love the way the brothers are so loyal to each other that you know nothing could ever tear them apart. Even if at times they slightly wanted to maim each other ;)
