When Heroes Fall by Giana Darling
4.0
I was about to complain about the confusing family history that I did not understand a thing of.
And then I noticed that there’s apparently a series taking place before this one, explaining everything.
So I won’t mention that, it’s not the books fault I messed the order up and got confused.
Is this book super well written? no.
Is it a bit over the top and cringy? yes.
Did I eat this shit up? Hell yes, I did.
It was fun and entertaining.
there was one thing that really bugged me and caused the rating. SPOILER:
the main characters are madly in love and say I love you’s and shit. But: they don’t even know each other. Have they ever really talked about their past or inner feelings? Never.
Does she know things about his mafia side? Not a thing besides that he’s the mafia dom.
Does he know about her past tragic relationship which significant shaped who she is today? noooope.
I would have just wished them to really know each other beyond the shallow day to day life and sexual side before they go all in. She fucking flew the country for him. That’s a tad too much for how far they are in their relationship, in my opinion.
SPOILER END.
I had fun and enjoyed this read, despite its several flaws. I’m a bit scared what another 460 pages will be about, but maybe I’ll finally get some answers about the history that’s all a big question mark in my brain so far.
3.5
