When Heroes Fall by Giana Darling
4.5
"I don't want to be loved."
"Let me love you anyway."
- mafia romance
- forbidden: lawyer x client
- sister’s brother-in-law
- hate to love
- forced proximity
- slow burn
- 🌶️🌶️/5
- dual pov
Premise: your sister begs you to work on her brother-in-law’s case. But the lawyer in charge makes you move in with him during proceedings.
One word to describe Elena and Dante’s dynamic is intoxicating. There’s overwhelming chemistry and slow-burning tension, heightened by the forced proximity and forbidden lawyer/client relationship.
Elena is such a formidable FMC. She’s the perfect mix of strong yet vulnerable. When the only men she’s ever loved chose her sisters over her, she’s naturally afraid to give her heart to Dante. But he doesn’t give up, slowly charming her and pushing her to give him a chance. When she does give in, trusting him in every way? 🔥
Dante is also a complex character, blending ruthlessness with kindness. I love how this juxtaposition plays out in the book. Add in great character development, and you have a winner.
