## Tropes
- mafia princess 
- mutual pining
- he falls first 
- bodyguard
- forced proximity 

## 📖 My Thoughts
She's a mafia princess who wants a career, he's the man assigned to protect her. He falls first for her banter and personality. She wants freedom, but realizes she puts others in danger when she tries. For a mafia book, this author focused more on the relationship aspect of the two main characters than the violence of the world, although there was plenty. I loved how through the story, the two develop a bond that makes them finally realize they love each other. The twists and turns were mildly predictable. 

## ⚠️ Triggers
Mafia 
Murder 
Sexual content 

## 🌶️ Spice
A few open door scenes. Not to overwhelm the story. They were super hot.
