Dark Escapes (McGowan Mafia Book 1)
By Effie Campbell
Review
Esther is being forced to marry the mafia boss who killed not only a sibling, but her mother. She refuses to marry the disgusting man who not only is entirely too old for her liking, but who ruined her family dynamic.
She decided that she is going to make a run for it. By tricking Alec, the man in charge of keeping her under lock and key until the planned wedding day. Esther gives Alec a run for his money, having him chase her, literally and figuratively, across the countryside and back. She never once makes this easy on Alec and goes as far as catching his car on fire. However, in the midst of the cat and mouse game between Alec and Ester, something more starts to evolve between the two.
Are these feelings true or are they some for of Stockholm Syndrome?
I absolutely adored this first book in the series. The banter between the two was absolutely fantastic, and made me chuckle more than once. But, there is a lot of ‘good girl’ praise thrown in there, and what woman doesn’t love that? I know I sure do. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys HEAs, mafia romances, praise kink, kidnap vibes.
I would absolutely read this again!
