Books like Awakening

Softness exists in this one, but only behind locked doors. Awakening, by Lee Savino, pairs mafia romance with a couple who begin as rivals, and gives neither of them anywhere to hide. Cold as a cellar, hot as a furnace. If you like your criminals tender only in private, stay close. These next books keep those rules. Each comes with its content notes.

The read-alikes below share that weather: Mafia dark romance, Enemies to lovers. Spice on Awakening is 4 of 5. Darkness is 4 of 5. Picks are scored on shared tropes, spice, darkness and trigger warnings, with no more than two from any one author. Each reason is ours, not a copied review.
