I literally read this book in one sitting, it was impossible to put down. I’ve read Dark Romances before and I usually don’t rate or review them because most of the time I just have nothing to say about it because I can’t make sense of what I feel. But this book? This book was incredible and it totally deserves to be my first 5 ⭐️ of the year.
Mafia Romances are definitely my favorite dark romance sub genre and this one DELIVERED. Do you know what I love more than morally grey men? Morally grey WOMEN. Scar baby, come and collect me, I’m yours. I haven’t fallen in love with a FMC since Jude and doesn’t it feel good?
Scarletta in a Queen, nothing less. She was brilliant and deadly despite being the size of a peanut (Just joking) and there isn’t one thing I didn’t like about her and that says a lot. I always find something I dislike, but I couldn’t, I was totally gone for.
And let’s not talk about the boys. Yes Boys, plural. You love a possessive and obsessed morally grey man? Well Ms. Maravilla has blessed us with a three for one package. Caleb, Nikolai and Kenji were scrumdelicious. The fact that Caleb was calling her his heartbeat when he was claiming to hate her? I LOST IT HERE.
Do I really need to tell y’all to go grab this book at this point? You should be at least 50% in that book by the time I finish writing this!!!
