Wholesome mafia romance

4.2⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️& 2 🌶️🌶️. I’ll start by admitting I haven’t read this series “In order” but they are interconnected standalones so that should be fine. I’ve only done king of beast and this so far. At first it wasn’t clear how they were connected and my brain was confused as to who was who. I think I have gathered this is set before king of beasts. As Enzo only once mentions his younger sister “Caterina Alfera”, and he is only 18 (I think) so that was when the penny dropped. This is big Bro. Aurora Vitali is bought into the fold on a whim of one of her fathers schemes. She’s an outsider as doesn’t know anything about the mafia world. She starts at a high school for the elite and she meets the gang. She does have moments of being fairly naive to potential dangers. There was a sexual assault scene in this so be warned if this is a trigger for you. It was not by the MMC. You can tell there is a younger set of characters in this, in contrast to king of beasts. This is not my favourite so this affected the experience a little for me.

One thing that was different about this, is that there is no “bullying” amongst the MMC and his friends which is normally the case in these high school darker romances. Enzo is a cutie pie to Aurora really. I listened to the audiobook and liked the narrators. Aurora is of course an innocent virgin, but her first time with Enzo in this was beautiful. It was done tastefully. I couldn’t get the titanic out of my head though with this sapphire necklace business.

Around the last 10 chapters you get to see the events that lead up to Rex Valentino taking over the society and how this leads up to the beginning of the king of beasts duet.
