Publisher's summary

The first time Cassio meets his fiancée, she calls him “sir.” After losing his wife, Cassio is left to take care of two small children while trying to establish his rule over Philadelphia. Now he needs a mother for his children and someone who can warm his bed at night. But in a world as traditional as his, choosing your wife is duty not pleasure.

Rules have to be followed, traditions heeded. That’s how he ends up with a woman - a girl - barely of age. She may not be what he and his children need, but she’s lovely and a sweet temptation he can’t resist.

Giulia has always known she’ll marry the man her father chose for her, but she never expects to be given to someone so much older. Suddenly she’s supposed to be a mother to two small children when she hasn’t even held a baby before.

Giulia quickly realizes that Cassio isn’t interested in a relationship on equal footing. Her mother has warned her that men of power, like Cassio, don’t tolerate insolence. Tired of being treated as a nanny, Giulia decides to fight for her version of a happy family.

First book to listen too

The book was written perfectly and was read even better than I thought it would be. I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this experience. The smut and spicy were amazing liked having it read to me!

Wen Ross!!!!

I was on the fence going into this book , since Guilia and Cassio aren't really featured in the previous books. I loved the support she offered Kiarra, in the Twisted series. However I was still worried I wouldn't be able to connect with them. Needless to say I was wrong! I LOVED this book. Never wanting to put it down. And it didn't take long for Guilia to become my favorite character throughout the series. She handled every challenge she was faced with head on. Nothing was going to stop her from being happy. She embraced Cassio and looked below the surface. Staying true to herself and not allowing the "it's a man's world" attitude change her. When she stood up to Luca I was literally fangirling and cheering her on. The age gap was was handled tastefully to a degree, I did frown a few times when it was feticized, but felt it was acknowledged several times through the book that it was definitely a family tradition and not "normal". Guilia fell in love first but Cassio definitely fell harder. His character development I believe was one of the best throughout this world. Their spicy scenes and chemistry made me clench my pearls and fan myself. The whole book was a whirlwind, and the plot twists were chef's kiss. When I got to the end, I honestly considered starting it over on the spot. I love this couple and hope they will appear more often. Guilia and Cassio forever!!!

Loved 🥰

This book was amazing. Once I started listening to it I couldn’t stop. Stayed up all night.

Enjoyable

This is my first time listening to a book by this author the book was good. I will listen to other,

Sweet Temptation

It was a sweet storyline almost too sweet not the smexy mafia story I was hoping for…It has some triggers (suicide, incest, murder) that some people might find uncomfortable you’ve been warned! It does end with a HEA. Is it worth the credit? Yes, only if you’re okay with the above mentioned comments.

One of my favorite books by Cora

I absolutely LOVED this one. It was such a great story, it really tugs on your heart strings. Not as dark as her mafia series, but so good. I loved both main characters and seeing their family grow 🥹

I definitely loved this book

The narrators were both great. The male narrator was excellent. This was lean on the mafia aspect of things but heavy on the love thing. I started this book and could not put it down. I loved that both characters were fighting and working together to make their marriage work. This is a beautiful love story.

Go read this book.

Very well done

This book was great, no needless drama, very sweet. Normally I don't like books that involve children but this book was so we'll done that they didn't detract or make issues in the story. I really enjoyed it, ended up bingeing it in one sitting.

Oh my heart. . .

What an amazing story told and narrated by two brilliant Audible narrators. This has to be one of the best books I’ve read this summer!! It has all of the feels that come with a Mafia romance story. I am sure you’ll enjoy it as much as I did. 5 HUGE STARS on everything!!
The only thing I would have wanted was another book following the lives of this beautiful family. Maybe… please, Cora??

5 stars

This is my favorite book from Cora Reilly oh, and I literally love all of her books but this one’s my favorite it’s just so amazing
