Michelle Heard

Tears of Betrayal

My Review (May contain spoilers, fair warning upon reading this review)

This was a wild ride of a good time. Michelle Heard entertains even when it's not perfect. I had a blast seeing what was delivered on this one here. I didn't know quite what to expect because her stories are different than you expect going into it. I did enjoy the moments that are captured within this romance. I was on the edge of my seat all the way through.

Tears of Betrayal is a story that will leave you on the edge of your seat. This has a kidnapping trope to protect you type of trope and I absolutely loved that. It was really interesting the dynamics which developed between these two. At first there is plenty of angst between our couple but as their sty evolved; we also got to see their bond that turns from enemies to lovers and I actually enjoyed that it wasn't dragged out. That the angst is resolved halfway through because the outer conflict is intense. The only aspect that I did struggle with is turning the heroine that is soft and kind into a kickass one. It just rubbed me the wrong way in many respects. While I think women should learn to defend themselves, they also don't need to be fighting this extreme lol let women be women. Its okay to have a hero that protects his woman.

But despite a few issues that I did have with it, I had a fun time and it kept such an intense vibe to the story that I gravitated towards. If you love mafia romance, highly recommend this author.

Not really the best in this series. The redeeming quality of this book was the bromance I was waiting for between Alexei and Demitri and the jealousy between Alexei and Ariana over Demitri! That was so good lol. I ❤️ the role of a big brother and matchmaker Alexei has been playing in all these books. He is the best character hands down in the whole series so far!

Talking about book #1 #2 and #4, they all have two things in common 

Boring and not really needed epilogues and a theme where the poor sad FL didn’t know what to do with the business that she just inherited after her dad’s death and ML comes up to the rescue and takes over the whole business instead of being her guiding light. I just ignore both of them mostly.

Overall I think I would prefer other books in this series over this one. Except book #3 which I haven’t read yet. But this is definitely worth a one time read!
