Just wow. What a book.

I genuinely loved every minute of this. The storyline had me completely hooked, the slow burn was 🤌and I absolutely loved the characters. Matteo and Mia had me completely invested in their story and I honestly struggled to find anything I didn’t love.

I even stayed up until 1am to finish it, which says everything! 😂

I’m already desperate for more and cannot wait to read Arianne’s story. I’m definitely going to be picking up a copy for my sister, who is also a fellow romance reader, when this is released.

**Also, the glossary at the end!** Such a brilliant addition. I was constantly using Google Translate on my phone while reading, so having everything explained in one place was incredibly helpful. Although, admittedly, this may have been slightly easier with a physical copy because I still haven’t mastered the art of flipping back and forth on Kindle. 😂

Overall, this was an absolutely fantastic ARC read and an easy **5 stars** from me.

Thank you so much to Halle for letting me read this early. You absolutely smashed it with this one.
