Parent notes
This book contains graphic same-sex sexual content, glorifies criminal lifestyles, and centers on themes of betrayal and infidelity, all of which conflict with traditional Christian family values. Parent concerns: Explicit Same-Sex Romance (MM); Dark Mafia Violence and Crimes; Infidelity/Cheating (Enzo has a fiancée); Graphic Sexual Content (described as 'sizzling'); Promotion of 'Dark' and 'Villainous' behavior as romantic; Foul Language/Profanity Romance/sexual content: The book is marketed as a 'sizzling' dark MM romance involving a sexual relationship between an FBI agent and a criminal enforcer who 'crawls between his sheets.' The series is known for explicit, high-heat sexual scenes. Language: Dark mafia romances of this nature typically contain frequent high-level profanity, including the f-word and crude anatomical references. Violence: As a 'Dark Mafia Romance,' the book involves organized crime, murder, and 'venomous betrayal.' Violence is likely described in visceral detail. Substances: Mafia settings frequently involve alcohol use and mentions of drug trafficking, though the focus is on the romance. Worldview themes: Moral Relativism (Villains as Heroes), LGBTQ+ Themes, Deception and Betrayal
