Vincenzo “Enzo” Dimaggio has been stealing scenes since the very first book in this series, and his story delivered everything I hoped for. He’s the perfect mix of chaos and charm, a sarcastic, trigger-happy, utterly unhinged golden retriever of a mafia man. Fiercely loyal, quick-witted, and irresistibly flirtatious, Enzo brings humour to nearly every page. Beneath that cocky exterior lies a deep devotion, especially when it comes to Amalia. Watching him wrestle with his feelings, deny his obsession, and ultimately fall hard was a rollercoaster of emotion. His playful teasing, possessiveness, and dirty talk make him impossible to resist.
Amalia Velasco is every bit his equal. A cartel-trained hitwoman with a love for daggers and razor-sharp intelligence, she’s fierce, independent, and morally grey in the best way. She’s not just a love interest, she can meet Enzo head-on without losing herself. And she never lets him off easy, (𝙘𝙪𝙛𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙝𝙞𝙢 𝙪𝙥 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙤𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙠𝙚𝙮 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛-𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙝𝙞𝙩𝙬𝙤𝙢𝙖𝙣 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙, 𝙩𝙤𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙗𝙤𝙨𝙨 𝙢𝙤𝙫𝙚!) And Enzo’s unwavering confidence and masculinity give her space to lower her guard and show a softer, playful side, especially in intimate moments when her giggles slip through. Even then, her independence never wavers, she doesn’t become dependent on him, but remains strong and self-assured, choosing freely to let her guard down with him.
Together, they’re explosive. Their romance crackles with razor-sharp banter, slow-burn tension, and steamy moments that make their chemistry undeniable. Some moments felt a little rushed, and I wanted more layers to their connection because their potential as a couple was so strong, but I still loved every second of their story. The spice is hot, with a playful role reversal as Amalia takes the lead. Even if it isn’t Priceton’s spiciest work for me, their dynamic still became one of my favourites in the series.
T. Priceton has been an auto-buy author for me since Matteo and will continue to be, because she blends humour, danger, and passion into stories that are always thrilling and addictive. That said, while Enzo is my favourite MMC of the series, this story isn’t my top pick. Some moments, particularly those involving Armando, felt a little childish, and the situation with Diego could have been explained more clearly. The mafia elements, while present, didn’t feel fully explored, which left some parts feeling rushed or lacking depth. Still, it’s a sexy, action-packed, and fitting conclusion to the DiMaggio Crime Family series that I’d happily recommend to fans of dark, fast-paced romance with unforgettable characters.
I’ll miss the DiMaggios, but I’m already excited to see what T. Priceton’s writing brings us next.
