Another miss for me. Sigh. I’m tired. This isn’t a terrible book. If you liked the previous books in this series you’ll probably like this one. For what it’s worth, I do like this more than the second book.
The hero has some likable moments but overall he’s not particularly impressive. The heroine was dull, dull, dull. No idea what the hero saw in her but she was just very meh to me.
The H seemed to have a mild humiliation kink which didn’t do anything for me. If you like that sort of thing then you will probably enjoy this more.
He supposedly stalked the h over the years. Specifically taking 3 days off a year to follow her personally. Not sure what the point was. He even watched her bang OM during that time. Weird weird weird.
Some things felt really predictable here but that may have also been the result of the overlapping plots between the books.
Fast burn, they get it on for the first time around 23%.
No virgins
Mild push away from h
No OW drama
Mild OM drama
No cheating
No sex scenes with others on page
No 3rd act breakup
No separation
HEA
Epilogue
Safety - this is mostly safe. They were into each other as teenagers. Family stuff kept them apart. As mentioned above he never got over her. I thought the bit about him even watching her be intimate with other men was off putting but we don’t see it on page.

Niko 🖤
I have absolutely loved this series, but I think this may have been my least favorite.. Niko was great. I loved getting to see more of him and his control freak self. I was not a fan of Gianna though, she just rubbed me the wrong way personally.

I love this universe so much and am always excited when I get to go back to it! Niko and Gianna are separated early on in the story, and I love how much she made him grovel when they came back together!! She was a bada** and made him work for her love! The Romeo and Juliet vibes were top notch 😍
In every book, you see scenes from the others but from an outside perspective. It’s amazing to get another look at my favorites from the other two books.
I think there was less spice than the others, but what we did get was 🥵
The banter was hilarious 🐖🐷

den här var ju mer som en barnbok om man jämför med vow to sever? Niko var en äkta liten simp. och det var verkligen, så, sweet? Pax 4 real cuts her up and brands her with his name, det ”värsta” Niko gjorde var att bird-feed her the damn pork chops (okokok the cannibal pork chops but anyways, they did sound delicious). känns fel att säga men den var nästan, lite gullig?

worst book i’ve ever read :)
November 21, 2024
I enjoyed it but it felt like a few things were missing.
The fmc didn’t have much character to her, I didn’t even really know what she looked like until 3/4 way through the book.
I don’t understand why she kept the secret from Niko and I don’t actually understand the weight behind the secret. Their identity didn’t seem to actually affect anything in the plot.
It was nice to see the other characters again. Pax is a favourite of mine.
Niko was a pretty good mmc. I loved how soft he was which was surprising because in the other books he’s been built up to be the opposite and I was actually wary of him being an asshole for this one. But he was just very sweet. I feel like there was a lot more to him that we didn’t get to see. His whole personality was loving Gi and his business. He has a thing about cleanliness and things being in the right place, it would have been nice to see this fleshed out a bit more.
As always the authors writing is good, I love her style and will keep reading everything she puts out. Hopefully the next one is more of a hit for me.

all the mafia goodness
Plot:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Spice:🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5
Romance:🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤/5
An Honorary 💖💖💖💖💖/5 for the piggies 🐷
I just knew Niko was going to be utter mafia MMC perfection and he does not disappoint. With a streak of delirious psychotic tendencies (we’ll chalk that up to sharing DNA with Pax) and all the possessive, dominant, daddyesque qualities of a mafia king Niko was the MMC in the series I was not expecting but desperately needed. He and Gi were excellence together. Her attitude, strength, and political instincts meshed so well with Niko. I really enjoyed her journey and the love they shared for one another despite their twisted fates.
This was by far the best in the series in terms of plot for me. While the story wasn’t as edgy as the last two, I felt a lot of the loose strings we tied up and was really satisfied with the ending. I’m excited to see where the next book takes us.

My Rating: 6⭐️
Spice: 3🌶
Where to begin. This book was perfection from beginning to end. I didn't think it would be this good. And Pax made it so much better. I LOVE childhood lovers. I LOVE marriage of convenience. I LOVE an obsessed MMC who does everything and anything to get his girl. That has a melt down thinking she is leaving him. This book was everything and more. I'm so sad it's over. I need more, please. I need more of this couple, but I also need more of the unhinged life of Pax and his nun. I would have loved a bonus chapter where all three couples were together. 🖤 I don't know what to do with my life now. I'm not sure how the next book will top this one.

I was shocked at how good the beginning was because most mafia books are so unbelievable, badly written, and with effeminate "mafia bosses." Corny. Anyway, the second half of this book realized my deepest fears and was super disappointing.
I just LOVE the idea of the fmc being a spoiled, prissy princess and the mmc being all about it. He was also obsessed and open about his love, which is always the best, but it didn't really make sense, seeing as they were together for a month when they were kids and were separated for 15 years... less and less made sense, and more and more became eye rollingly absurd and silly.

A perfect way to further tie in Mind to Bend and Vow to Sever. Lots of tidbits from both of those books are expanded and shown from a different perspective in this book.
A dark, mafia version of Romeo and Juliet, minus the suicide at the end. Add a little murder and a betrothal to an older, vicious man, and a psychotic brother and you’ve got yourself a story.
Young love, forced apart for years, brought back together with death and deception.
I enjoyed this story but it’s not for the faint of heart.
5/5 stars
3/5 chilli peppers, spice is good just not too much spice.

Another amazing book from Stolen Obsession series. We follow Niko and Gianna story where we absolutely love each part.
Lovers to enemies to lovers ✔️
Romeo and Juliet vibes ✔️
Stalking ✔️
Power exchange ✔️
Some sexy collaring ✔️😉
I love seeing a man head over heels for a women and you know Niko doesn’t disappoint. Gianna is one bada** and certainly makes niko grovel. Totally loved it!
I loved seeing the over lapping from the other books. Certainly make me miss Pax and Shane, needing a reread real soon!

I loved Gianna & Niko's story.
Dark romance, mafia, second chances, and lots of 🐖s!!!
Filled with twists, betrayals and danger!!
We also had action and suspense, spice, lots of emotions and more!!
I loved seeing Gianna and Niko connect. Their growth together and separately was so good.
I also like that we got even more insight on Shane and Pax's stories.
I loved it!! Another great read by Aurelia!!!

Definitely Different from the First Two
This definitely added more to the story we see from the first two books. We saw so much but I also feel like it doesn't really make sense when comparing it to Pax's book. There's no way Pax wouldn't know about Gianna. He loves his brother. I think this definitely changed Pax's story. I'm kinda excited for the next book because I can't imagine who it's about.

This is one of my favorite series so far! All 3 of the books are stand alone so you don't have to read them all to understand the plot, but it does help to understand background characters! The spice is amazing, the story is FANTASTIC, the characters will be your new favorite power couple, the chemistry they gave is incredible!

AWWW Nikolai & Gianna
I couldn't put this book down. I was a great read. Will I give out spoilers? No, but I will tell you this before you read it Plz Check the TW's!!! This book shouldn't have anything lower then a 5 star (My opinion) it was well written and its a good story. Aurelia you never disappoint me!! ❤️

girl boss
He was so caring while also being so demanding in such a great way. And she was such a girl boss I just can’t! I’m glad to know the giant isn’t too crazy and misogynistic. He actually listened and respected her! So good. And the spiceeee. Ugh. Also I love how the books intersect so well. So so good guys.

Decent
While this was my least favorite story in the series, I still enjoyed reading about Niko and Gianna! Niko was a cinnamon roll but also a psycho and I loved it. This was basically a second chance for them and to see their relationship and Gianna grow was lovely to read about.

strangely enough, this book felt more grounded and well-rounded than the previous ones. was it still unhinged? absolutely. did i take it seriously? not at all. but the story felt more consistent. this was not only the couple i liked best, but as individuals they were also my favorite. just like the story itself, but that just might be my mafia bias.

I just can’t get enough!
This was such an incredible read. I love how all-consuming the love is between these two. I can’t relate to the mafia crime life, but the rawness of the relationship is relatable. And the spicy scenes?! Be so for real right now… HOT… AS…Fu**… I’m in love with the Stolen Obsessions series. I will be recommending these books to everyone who will listen.

Took me awhile to finish because of sickness, not because it’s not interesting.
I actually enjoyed this book. Gi such a bada**. I love her character and Niko 🫠 I loved their story. I will however say the ending was rushed for me.
I am SUPER excited to read about Pax. There’s just something about how unhinged he is. 🤭

Absolutely loved this book! Such a great author. I’m so excited to own the hard copy to complete my collection:) I highly recommend it if you’re looking for spice with a great plot

This book was so good! If you want a golden retriever with a dark side MMC and a FMC that grows into a strong equal this book is definitely for you.The whole Stolen Obsessions Series has been great so far and is one of my top 10 series.
November 27, 2024
Just like the last two books, this one was equally as amazing. Aurelia has a way to pull you in on the first page and keep you guessing on what's going to happen between the main characters. I love everything about this book. Make sure to check your TWs!
August 15, 2025
The best book in the series so far. My only “issue” is o lowkey wish this book would’ve been book one in the series followed by pax’s book and then Shane’s. It would make more sense to read it that way I think. But other than that I really enjoyed it.
June 30, 2024
Absolutely loved this book and the spice/plot everything was sooo yummy! Lalala absolutely Knight always knocks it out with no bread crumbs left behind!

I think this has one be my favourite book of the series!!!! While it might not be as dark as the last two it’s still a little unhinged with the perfect amount of spice and comedy! Niko and Pax’s backstory and conversations were amazing and the pigs!!! The pigs! 😚🤌🏻 10/10 hella recommend!

I thought that I would always choose Shane, but my loyalties have switched. I now choose Niko. The mob boss who stole the rival Mob princess after stalking her for 15 years has my heart.
