Devil You Hate A Dark Mafia Enemies to Lovers Romance

They call me "The Devil." Deranged and violent. Gorgeous, but frightening. I'm a business man so when one of my debtors offers me his fiancé in exchange for a debt settled, I figure why not, the woman will be a quick sell. Repayment comes in the form of a beautiful but haunted young woman. The light in her tempts the darkness inside of me. Teases it, tortures it. I want to hurt her. I want to break her. I want to keep her. Lucky for Celia she fails to see that there is no goodness in me and when she attempts to draw me in with her innocence, and sweet, naive heart I thrive to show her the cruel monster I am. **This is a dark mafia romance that contains non-con/dub con, graphic violence, and sexual themes. It is not a standalone novel and ends on a cliffhanger.**

Ahhhhh! I truly adore this universe that has been created. With each new book the web opens further and another facet is unveiled. As much as I love every character in this universe I really do have a special love for Nic and Lucas, and I adored the development of Nic and Celia’s relationship in this to further deepen their family background.

I am yet to read a book by either author that I didn’t absolutely love! Without a doubt my favourite dark romance authors and Devil You Hate just adds to that. I love the way the crime family and Corium books all interlink to create a bigger picture of the world in which they’re set, and this first look into Nic and Celia’s story unearthed another part of that picture beautifully. I can’t wait to continue their story in Devil you know, to find out how they got from where they are at the end of this one, to where I know from other books, they end up in the future!

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Devil You Hate (The Diavolo Crime Family #1) by J.L. Beck and C. Hallman is the second book I read from this awesome writing duo. I love how cold and savage heroes they write about. Did not disappoint with Nicolo (Nic). Will not find any hearts and flowers but slowly see Celia get under his skin. Found the secondary characters add to story. Lucas his brother not sure where he stands in the plot. Now Soo who is Nic right hand man has caught my attention. He has this calm attitude but feel he is just as dangerous and deadly as his friends. I hope get more on him with Reya. Highly Recommend for Enemies to lovers, Dark Mafia Romance fans.
