Black Lies by K.A. Merikan
3.0
3/5
This scene made my jaw drop: Charlotte crossed her arms on her chest, giving Mark a defiant look. “Go on Mark, tell him where the money’s from.” Mark spread his arms in an aggressive motion and bared his teeth. “Your family fortune dates back to sugar plantations, so don’t fucking school me on blood money!” She stared back at him. Clearly not the answer she’d expected. Neither had Griffith. “T-that was centuries ago!” “And I no longer do what I used to! Can’t see you giving all your cash, all your family assets, to the needy to start fresh. Why should I?”

It was overall entertaining but I dnfed a couple of times because the characters were both annoying most of the times. I like the premise so much though and it helped me go through with finishing it.
I liked how Mark glorifies Griff and how he compares himself and his relationship to his dad's. It's obvious that he looks up to Domenico yet he's aware how he can't and won't be like him.
Griff's reasoning for not leaving Mark's crazy ass? "I will never find someone who will love me like he does" it's convincing and sad.. consistent with the kind of happy ending they got. (He was trembling while proposing in front of the mafia family lmfao).
