This was like… not the best thing in the world but HIGHLY entertaining. I get that Aria's terrified but Luca proves he's a good man over and over again and she's so mean to him lol. Like, he fakes their marriage consummation by cutting himself and staining the sheets, he cuts off her cousin's finger for implying he wants to rape her, he stops her dad from hitting her and she's like "this man is a killer! he's horrible!" I lowkey just spent the whole book rooting for Gianna and Matteo to get together instead of focusing on Aria & Luca.
