I loved that she wasnt a doormat and he was an asshole throughout. Authors have a tendency to soften alphaholes as the story progresses. Not this one! There was no doubt that he loved her but he let you know that he was the HBIC when you probably forgot. Things I didn't like: rushed ending. It hit climax and ending in a couple pages and it got cheesy. not even enough research: Story happens between three continents (Africa, South America and North America) yet you have constant flying back and forth within a time span of a day....non stop flights from Miami to South Eastern Africa is literally impossible, far less to happen between sunrise and sunset. Also Eve is born and bred in Miami (where Spanish is the first language) yet couldnt decipher that language being spoken (Spanish). All in all the storyline and writing was great enough for me to head to book two....more
This book was just....no. NO! Firstly, the blurb says bad ass heroine...where?! Heaven was whiny for the entire book, she was never ready to handle sitThis book was just....no. NO! Firstly, the blurb says bad ass heroine...where?! Heaven was whiny for the entire book, she was never ready to handle situations, always beating herself up after, and begging her father to 'pick me! pick me!' If you are this underboss then you need to act like one and not like a soldier hoping to get picked for the team. Secondly, Matteo owns a sex club yet the first sex scene is on page 157 of a 325 page book?!wtf Thirdly, its an arranged marriage book....wtf is the marriage?!...page 206 So what do you ask the first two hundred pages were of...NOTHING freaking nothing but a whiny heroine begging for a chance to run an empire and an H pretending to be the baddest mafia boss in Manhattan. Why say pretending?...I don't know if the author forgot that he was the crime lord of Manhattan but around page 160 he runs into another syndicate boss who has him sputtering and threatening him....and he TAKES IT!!! WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?! If I'm reading a book about a man that razed through Manhattan to be the ruler of it, why the fuck is cartel leader sneaking up on him IN HIS OWN CLUB?! Ain't nobody supposed to be getting to him that easily! Seriously....please just stick to contemporary romance and leave the mafia romance to people who actually KNOW what being a mafia boss entails....more
