Okay, so this one is a little bit tough for me to swallow-literally. I wanted so bad to like it, but I didn't and I wanted to DNF it but I ploughed through. I must've still possessed the forgiving senses early on this year.

Quick Summary:
1. Mafia Princess spends one night with the Ricci family's Hitman while engaged. Said Hitman, poetically so fell in love with the FMC (and when I say poetically, I am not exaggerating with the excessive use of unnecessary descriptives)
2. MC forced the FMC to wed him right after killing the Fiancée. Had his other reason why marriage was necessary 
3. Badabum Badabam, nothing much happened. Little bit of twist here and there with revelations. The end.

📌Thoughts:
1. While I appreciate the adjectives on how obsessed MC is to FMC, the man seriously needed to think through his priorities 
2. There is more or less 16years age gap between MC and FMC (latter being shy 20years old) and while this is not usually a deal breaker, FMC's age showed in this book. Mafia Princess my as* more of like a brat. And annoying at that. And so damn h*rny all the f*ckin time! MC breaths and she is a putty already 😤
3. I appreciate a good sm*t but I appreciate a sm*t with a good story. There are no actual peaks on this one. Just blobs to call it a twist

Suffice to say, I tortured myself finishing this.
