LP Lovell

I'm a businessman. A cartel boss. She’s collateral. I have no interest in her beyond keeping her alive for the man who now owns her. And yet…I’m fascinated by the little Russian. There is no room for weakness in my world, but it appears the delicate rose has steel petals. I’m willing to bleed for a willing touch, a trusting glance… A broken little bird. The big bad wolf. A love that could heal even the deepest scars. Hate me or hold me?

I received an ARC of this book from the author and I voluntarily reviewed it. Thank you L.P. Lovell!

Yes, yes, yes! This is a prime example of my favourite kind of read; mafia/bratva/cartel dark romance. Lovell, in my opinion, sets the standard. This series and these characters are honestly everything. We fall for the "bad" guys and question our morals when we find ourselves agreeing with them and rooting for them.

Ever since the Kiss of Death series, I always wanted to know more about Una's sister, and this story does not disappoint. I honestly need more of Anna and Rafe... soon. Their story transported me and held me captive until I finished it; even now when I have finished it, they remain firmly planted in my mind. That's how good Lovell is.

Anna is such a broken, yet strong and complex character. I loved reading her perspective of the story; her thoughts, her impressions, her feelings. She is so different from Una, yet just as captivating. 

I cannot wait for the rest of this series!
