Thanks to B. Sobjakken for the review copy and this is my honest review.

The heroine wanted to lose her v-card because of an outdated Famiglia tradition and of course she ended up losing it to someone who'll end up being her arranged marriage husband.

I enjoyed it overall and was invested from the beginning. The heroine is tenacious to a fault but she's trying to make the best of a forced marriage with a non-communicative husband. Plenty of possessive "my wife" moments with trademark Sobjakken hotness that went down smooth.

It's the first of the Made Men of Manhattan series so the over arching plot is the set up for the sequels. I'm looking forward to the next book already, will definitely keep reading the series.
