I know that dark romances are polarizing, but I got through the first two in this series just fine. This one was a CHALLENGE. We never really got to a point where I was rooting for them. Also, she’s such a white woman. Vegan and cruelty free products while marrying a monster. Like? Care for actual people.

I don’t usually mind a little captor/captive romance. I loved beauty and the beast. This shit was… a lot. The last “hero” was a sociopath and Ronan made him look like a kitten. Like, Christian actually likes his wife.

I just never connected with this story. I think that things were held back from the SUPER YOUNG protagonist too long.

poupimali's review against another edition

funny lighthearted tense slow-paced

4.5

I absolutely loved Rowan and Mila’s story.

- mafia
- age gap
- kind of enemies to lovers with a bit of Stockholm syndrome
- Hilarious and sunchine FMC
- grumpy tense MMC
- Slow burn

I really laugh out loud many times because of the banter between them.
And I am really a sucker for mobster who are speaking a foreign language that the FMC doesn’t understand.

This killed the series. Even in my Russian-mafia standard this was off. There was tension, yes, but there was no chemistry.
