The Bastard's Betrayal by Katee Robert

4.0

3.5 stars

I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this. The heroine shooting the hero *twice* in the first chapter??? Say less. But outside the bubble of Rose and Dante’s love story was a lot of mafia politics. Rival families wanting to assert dominance over the other, power plays, and then extended family from Russia wanting a piece of the pie too… at times, it felt like Rose and Dante were a side story.

I did like Dante and Rose’s characters; Dante was proactive and possessive. The lengths he went to to convince Rose to marry him were honestly so romantic. He did everything to woo her and it worked out in the end. Rose was super snarky and sassy for an heir, and she was such a badass FMC.
