Crown of Sins by Maria Ann Green
4.0
Maria Ann Green’s Crown of Sins is a fast-paced story filled with intrigue and a whole lot of enemies-to-lovers goodness.
Bellamy Byrne is the head of the Byrne crime family. Colloquially called The Mafia Princess, Bellamy works hard to keep her family away from the watchful eye of law enforcement. That is, until FBI agent Raleigh Harding literally busts down her door. As a reluctant agreement between the two is set in motion, Bellamy and Raleigh will find that their mutual attraction makes things infinitely more complicated.
Crown of Sins has a lot of elements that I love in a good romance: opposites attract, enemies-to-lovers, and a strong female protagonist. Bellamy defies a lot of stereotypes, and I love how empowered and open she is as character. Raleigh was a bit more opaque to me, and I would have loved a little more of his story, but his chemistry and connection with Bellamy is undeniable. There are also supporting characters (like Bellamy’s brother Devin, and Raleigh’s coworker, Shawn) who I’d be interested in reading more about.
In all, this is a fun escape read with a healthy dose of steam and a lot of entertaining, suspenseful moments.
