Because You're Mine

Claire Contreras — 2018

When you grow up in the most feared mafia family, it's easy to identify the kind of men that are bad news. They're the ones with experience. The ones with secrets. The ones that exude sex just by saying your name. From the moment I laid eyes on Lorenzo, I knew he wasn't just bad news. He was the headline. But my head and my heart are at war. He's too mysterious, too gorgeous, too wild, and now, he wants me. I should run far away. So why am I racing toward him? I'm totally going to get burned. I know it. A man like Lorenzo won't leave me unscathed. He'll make ashes of me.

I’ve been loving Claire Contreras books recently so thought I would go for another. This one is kind of all over the place. Kind of felt like a mafia soap opera to me.

I love Loren and Cat together but I didn’t really care for much of the rest of it. It was definitely entertaining and at one point I thought I might not finish but instead just read the entire thing in one sitting.

There are a few spelling/ editing errors that bothered me but might not be annoying to anyone else. 😂 And there were so many random characters that have just a couple lines/ appearances that it was hard to connect to or remember them.

Overall, really wanted to like it but it just didn’t connect. I think there were just too many things going on. If you like high drama but minimal actual storyline with some steam and hot characters then go for it, I still like the authors writing and will try a different series.
