Okay, let me begin this review by stating: I love me some mafia romances. I love hate to love stories, bad boys that have a heart of gold for their woman, I'm down for some dominant men in romance.. but this book is not it. I honestly got to the 60% mark and wondered if I had actually picked up a thriller/horror book by accident. Nope, I double checked and this is actually categorized as romance. This... This book is straight up rape. She literally says NO over and over and yet he still continues. Adrien doesn't love or even have feelings for her, there is no romance here. It's just a straight rape, murder and kidnapping with a "shut up I own you and I'll torture you until you do as I say and like it". I'm rooting for the brother and arranged marriage dude to come save the day and take her away from this situation. Wowza. This straight up shouldnt be categorized as romance. Did I even read the same book as everyone else? How was this not meant as a horror book 😂
