My first read by this author and it will not be my last. An OTT novella on steroids 🤭😂, which reminds me of Jessa Kane's books.
As the title says, once he sees her, that's it. He's smitten, and her happiness becomes his life goal 🤭🥰🥰🥰.
✔️ quick, OTT, obsessive, insta lust, read; he falls first; she also falls for him, of course, once she meets him
✔️ perfect palate cleanser read, the writing flows, the pacing it's fine, even though it's quite a medium burn for their romance, they first spend time together, and they somehow become friends, which I completely liked!!
✔️ MMC: mafia kingpin; FMC: she's from a rival mafia family, but poorly treated by her aunt and cousin
✔️ she runs away, ends up in his territory, he sees her, and that's it; the stalking and his need to protect her start from the first second, he sees her; he fell first and hard
✔️ age gap (21 h, 42 H)
✔️ V h, he's been celibate in the past few years
✔️ spicy but not overdone; 2 🌶 out of 5, in my opinion ✌️
✔️ cute epilogue a few years later
