The Maddest Obession is the second book in the Made series. I enjoyed this one, but there were certain phrases that were repeated from the first book that was a little annoying.

consider this my exit note from the "mafia romance" trope. 
                           -•-
it started SO good and I actually enjoyed it, but then at some point it suddenly started going downwards. too fast. I was happy with the first volume. but THIS? big no. I most likely will not read the 3rd volume. She was portrayed as beknt too dumb in certain scenes which annoyed me. Meanwhile he was this genius that is always correcting her. + their whole relationship (if you can call it like that) felt unreal, unsatisfying and forced. I actually am so sad I didn't end up enjoying it because the start of it was amazing. I did want to enjoy it, but Christian was not it, Gianna was not it and the plot itself and certain scenes/ideas were too much and too gross for me.

This book was entertaining to read, and the pace was just right for me to finish this in 2 days. Objectively speaking, there’s nothing new or special done. It has the typical misunderstandings, lack of communication, bad boy mc who refuses to talk about his past and doesn’t understand the word ‘no’, and a female mc who lets it happen because he’s attractive. She does try to stand up for herself but she always crumbles the moment they get to the bed action. However, I can’t say it was boring or a bad read either, though around the third act, it did start to drag a little. There were some sweet lines, some that made me 😧😳, and some that me outright laugh at the ridiculousness. It has dark elements so do check the trigger warnings before reading.

Never in a million years did I think I would like something like this or even tolerate it. Ignoring all the cringey moments and misogyny of the mafia world, I enjoyed it. 

Yes, it’s not going to be some award-winning literary masterpiece with perfect writing and prose. But it WAS entertaining. The same way people enjoy trashy reality tv. Call it a guilty pleasure, but either way it was enjoyable enough to finish it in one sitting.
