Thank you to the author for sending me this.
We follow Serafina who meets Lucas when she is seeking someone to help her learn to protect herself as a mafia princess.
The Mafioso’s Promise didn’t quite click with me, it felt very disjointed both in character and plot. Serafina didn’t get much personality outside of being a mafia princess who hates being a mafia princess and the fact she loves plants, Lucas on the other had started out likeable before doing a 180 not even 100 pages into the book all because he 💀 one person?
Their romance wasn’t really showcased either, especially at the start it seemed they went from trainer/trainee to flirting and that this bond all happened off-page, for a second I thought I had missed a few chapters. Definitely would’ve loved to see that development played out, same with Nora and Sera, they interacted once or twice and then in the next chapter they are suddenly bestfriends.
