Both Christian and Gianna are two people you wouldn’t expect to be together, they both had a very troubled and traumatic upbringing where they are left to deal with the demons of their past as adults. Honestly, what did I expect handing over my virginity to the man who abducted me? The fact that sentence even existed in my head told me I needed help.

He wears his darkness on his selves like a Trophy. He rules Moscow and everything dark. He likes a good chase. so this book starts with Mila trying to find answers about her mother when she traveled to Russia and you know what, i'm just like her because i for real wanna know why everyone is scared of Tatiana aka Mila's mom and Mila herself. the whole mystery why people are acting sus and staring at her is the reason why i couldn't put the book down.

See a Problem?

Months ago, I didn’t believe in suspicions. Yet so much had convinced me otherwise. Maybe I was wrong about happily ever afters too. Maybe they really did exist. Just not with a shining knight in armor, but with the villain." As for the writing, it seems to be a dual point of view but the majority of the book is told from Mila’s perspective.

One winter night and their lives intertwine. She hates him - his stone-cold demeanor, his arrogance and too-perceptive eye - but, over the years, even as their games consist of insulting each other’s looks and intelligence, she begins to live to play with him. as well as never digging into what her dad does, she also doesn't try to find out what the hero does; a rich, intimidating man with connections to all kinds of people and who scares everyone. she apparently just doesn't need to know. SO dumb. she has five braincells and they're all busy being horny for the hero.That being said, I didn't detect any non-con scenes or over-the-top cruelty, even if I can see how their first sex scene can make sensitive readers feel uncomfortable...Embrace the discomfort, guys. 🥳 Hearts and flowers are nice, but where's the excitement in that?

But of course if what you're looking for (in a dark mafia romance 😇) is a hero who writes a formal letter asking for permission to touch her hand, kiss her lips or press her body against his hard muscled chest that burns with possessiveness? Drop this book like a hot potato, sisters.
