Just a special note! Please read!
Please avoid glorifying mafia culture. While it may seem enticing to imagine being involved with someone influential, the reality of mafias and organized crime families is far from the romanticized portrayals in books and movies. Although mafias still exist today, they've evolved and may not wield the same influence they once did in the 1950s. They've become more sophisticated in their criminal activities, operating secretly and avoiding the spotlight.
I understand that I'm writing a mafia romance, but it's crucial to distinguish between fiction and reality. Mafias have caused significant harm and suffering, and it's essential not to overlook their destructive impact. While the allure of danger and power can be mesmerizing in stories, it's important to remember the harsh truth about real-life mafias. Let's appreciate the fantasy without forgetting the harsh realities they hide.
Mafias have inflicted far more harm than good, with organized crimes resulting in the violent deaths of thousands, often innocent bystanders. It's necessary to recognize that mafias are not accurately portrayed in books, movies, and shows. As someone who adores mafia romances, I urge you to acknowledge that these stories are works of fiction.
They're not like the stylish folks you see in movies and books, casually strolling with guns and knives under their fancy suits.
No one created mafias to assist anyone; They've never been a force for good, only making life more difficult for countless people. Unless you've lived it, it's easy to be excited by the thought of violence and danger. Actual real crime organizations or events are not the basis of my book.
I wish I could go back in time and not have picked this plot, but I'm in too deep to just stop writing it.
