For me, this book was decent. The blurb was interesting but the delivery was kinda off.
It says that this book is dark mafia romance, but for me it was not that dark at all and the mafia theme was so light barely there even.
While Alek, the MMC, was so obsessed with Eva in lust way from the very beginning, his action was barely showing his obsession beside he wanted to pound her all the time. I mean, if you are a mob boss and obsessed with someone, don't you suppose to watch her all the time? Figuring out her background? But Alek was not doing any of that except buying the ballet company Eva performed at.
That also happened with Jules, Eva's brother. For me, it didn't make sense at all that Jules didn't appoint bodyguard and watched Eva 24/7. He didn't come out as overprotective big brother for me.
Those small details were bothering me the whole time I read the book because for me Eva was somewhat free and both Alek and Jules were not that overprotective nor obsessed with Eva.
The relationship between Alek and Eva happened so fast. Instalust then jumped to instalove so fast. I was not complaining about that because somehow it was make sense for me with the story and the tropes.
This book actually had so many potential. For debut novel, this book is already solid for me. I would definitely read the next book(s) from this series because the author was already giving many hits for the upcoming couple(s).
Thank you to Lina Harper and NetGalley for the ARC.
