"Callum Russo is a meticulous man all about information, leverage, and control. Known only in the most exclusive circles, Callum is the man with the plan and he gets results by any means necessary. That is, until a blonde bombshell walks into his carefully curated life like a pretty, pink wrecking-ball. She has the potential to break through every one of the carefully constructed masks he's spent years hiding behind. Lexie West knows who she is and where her life is going. As a plus-size ER nurse working in New York City she thought she was prepared for anything that could be thrown at her. When she trades her travel contract at the hospital for a job house-sitting a luxury penthouse apartment, her only plans are to drink margaritas, try a few recipes, and find a good karaoke bar. Until one night, when she rounds the corner to find a dangerously attractive giant standing in the penthouse kitchen who claims to own the apartment she is staying in. She's seen it all. But she never could have expected him . A knock on Lexie's bedroom door in the middle of the night changes everything. Suddenly, she's being swept into a world of violence, crime, and influence by a man who solves impossible problems for powerful people. She's an unexpected wildcard in his perfect game but he'll do anything he can to have her... by any means necessary." --

This how you do a plus sized romance so right. I could not love our main FMC any more, she absolutely saved this book for me. Lexie is an emergency room nurse looking for a desperate escape from the trauma plaguing you day to day life. She finds herself show sitting a penthouse that belongs none other than our MMC. Callum is known as the “fixer” aka someone how takes odd jobs to get rid of problems. This whole part of the story line was really hard for me to understand??
The set up of this story and the forced proximity was perfect. The real star of our show was Lexie, I loved that girl. I never have laughed at a FMC inner dialogue before. Callum was okay, I just didn't feel connection to his character in the slightest. Some aspects of the story felt slightly drawn out, I almost dnf because it wasn't moving fast enough for my liking. Overall, a good mafia read with a unique plot, OTT possessive/obsessive man, plus sized FMC with personality for days.
Overall REALLY loved this morally grey mafia curvy romance.
Slow at times but honestly love how infatuated Cal is with Lexie.
