I loved every part of this book it was so freaking good are male main character Nero is definitely in my top 5 if not three favorite male main characters in books I’ve read his appearance was nice the way he spoke his words ugh😩 I’ve never read a book we’re the main characters meet like this it was so good i lived for it and oh my goodness his possessiveness over are female main character Payton how he stalks her😩 when he takes her virginity😏😩I just loved every scene inside this entire book I cannot wait to read the other books in this series this is a happy ending in both ways😏 with no cliffhangers it’s definitely spicy🌶️🌶️🌶️it has no cheating and no love triangles there is one scene though we’re some people may find as cheating but I will say he doesn’t kiss or have sex with another girl so don’t think that🤣 other then that we’re good some of the tropes are virgin heroine, age gap, billionaire romance, grumpy x sunshine and I think a couple more I totally recommend this book do good😍😍overall I knew I was gonna rate this book a 5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from the beginning

I really wanted this book to be good. It had so much hype surrounding it that I was prepared for some epic love story with a mafia boss and a touch her and die trope. 
I guess, technically,  this story could be considered that,  but it tried WAY to hard and felt force all around. I was instantly pulled in from the moment Nero showed up on her balcony. I thought, "This is it! This is how you start a story!" I wanted them to sit on the couch and just laugh at the movie as if they were old friends and build a legit friendship. Her falling asleep with a total stranger on the run from the cops right next to her? It's not gonna happen. Yeh, right.  L-7 WEENIE!  The instant love/obsession was a bit ridiculous, and it took WAY too long in the book for any action to happen and when it does?? Disappointed isn't even a strong enough word to describe the letdown.  The author shouldn't spent even a little bit of time building a friendship or literally any other reason for Nero to fall in love beside she was pretty and had a nightmare 🙄 and then get mad later because someone else calls her just "pretty." Dude had the ability, but the relationship is totally shallow, and that's hard to connect with.

Had fun reading this, i don't usually like dark romance bc of all the dramatic, over-the-top, flowery writing but this was okay. I liked that the 2 talked asap and the miscommunication thing didn't take too long to get fixed. Just like in Hans, the MMC is a bit of a stalker psycho but also endearing 🤣 Couple is adorable, and King was my fave character. Gonna read his book next.

Okay so for a dark romance the beginning was good and the end was good but towards the middle the scene after Nero’s birthday celebration was not it. There was no consent for what he did during their spicy time AND it was completely the wrong choice for the book given that she’s been abused and hit by her father. It felt tone-deaf and like the author didn’t remember the mc’s past???
