Broken Whispers by Neva Altaj

Did not finish book. Stopped at 75%.

This was not for me. I love a good mafia romance. The Sweetest Oblivion by Danielle Lori is still one of my favorites! This had the ingredients for a great story - rival Mafia groups (Russians & Italians), an arranged marriage, beauty & the beast vibes, but it just fell flat. I made it 78% of the way through and then opted to not finish. The tension between our MC’s was not there. It was insta-love with no burn. The scenes between them were either completely unrealistic or just too over the top and then when I was interested…. fade to black. There’s a mall bathroom scene and the ick vibes were high. I just could not take this book seriously. I bought this book based on Bookstagram recommendations, but it did not live up to the hype falling flat I REALLY wanted to love this but don’t. 1 Star.
