Plot

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.

Conclusion

I loved Gemma's and Cassio's story so much. I loved her addiction to sunflowers because I can relate to it.

For real, I loved everything from the first to the last word. From the first to the last page. Everything was perfect.

Giulia was so sweet and I love how she treated his kids and how she got the family back together. She is the reason they're a family again. She became a safe place for Cassio's kids. Her strength and the backbone she showed were some oh my favorite traits of hers.

Cassie is a typical mafia, alpha male. He's in quite a dark place so I really enjoyed seeing how Giulia got him out of his shell and how he developed.

If you love a good age-gap, mafia romance and marriage of convenience story then I would recommend Sweet Temptation to you. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I have.
