This is the DUMBEST MAFIA BOOK I have EVER read and that says a lot. I've read some pretty bad mafia books that overuse the word, "Whack" and "How you doin'", trust me.
I had such high hopes for this book. The cover was nice, the story line was extremely interesting and the first sample I read grabbed my attention and again, I liked the story line. Revenge on a mafia family knowing you might die, that’s intense.
What I got in return? RIDICULOUS MAFIA UNREALISTIC BULLSHIT.
I know not all Mafia romance stories are going to be to the T realistic, I get that. In the real world, Mafia men are cruel. Some love, some don’t.
But this story takes the cake.
So get this.
The heroine kills the mafia leaders’ main men. I’m not talking about some pawns that are used to guard the house or they are security. No, they are the leaders' main guys that watch his back, report to him, all that. Right hand men, if you will.
Mafia leader, Jasper, says wahhhh she killed my most important men, 3 to be exact but I don’t care because even though I said I can’t love and I’m soooo fucked up, I love the heroine therefore she can get away with anything even though I’ve only known her for 5 fucking minutes.
The fuck? Get out of here. She should’ve been killed off the back for killing his main guys. Come ON.
THEN. On a second trip to the house, she talks to some strangers in the leaders' house and they showed NO loyalty to Jasper. They leaked information to her left and right, no hesitation or worry. She asks one of Jaspers’ main men about his life, his family.
Instead of saying, none of your fucking business or hey, I can’t release all that information, that’s my boss. They spill it out without the slightest worry. They just give this chick information on Jasper after they know of the heroine, I shit you not, for maybe a few days. Again, COME THE FUCK ON.
There’s one scene where one of his CLOSE men follows the heroines orders, (They’ve only known her at this point for maybe 2 weeks if even that) because he doesn’t want to die, and does as she says, completely dropping all loyalty to Jasper and driving wherever the heroine wants to go.
What kind of fuckery is that?
The sex was boring as fuck, the heroine goes on and on about how she loves sex, she’s fucked so many men and she loves using her body against men. SHOCKER.
TWO MEN DIE while the heroine is at their mansion, and they look over that fact, wondering:
wHo CoUlD hAvE kIlLeD tHe GuYs?
They don’t look at the heroine, they just assume it’s a snake within their own group.
You’re telling me, they have the SAME PEOPLE OVER AT THE HOUSE, PARTY IT UP AND DO THEIR THING, NO ONE DIES, Mafia men who kill left and right, who know of all bullshit death tricks and rats, don’t find it odd that two men die the same time the new girl (heroine) visits the house? Are you fucking kidding me?
***SPOILER
Jasper, the fearless ruler and ruthless killer, keeps his mommy around (even though he can’t love), despite beating him and torturing him growing up, because he LOVES HER? PLEASEEEEEE!!!
The way they talk was so fucking inconsistent as well.
First, they’re talking normal. “What’s up dude, nothing much man”
Then they switch to, “Such a pity, such a shame we had to kill this one,” I get the verbiage for theatrical purposes to enhance how “articulate” the characters MUST be since they’re just oh so evil and wise beyond their years, but fuck. Keep it consistent. Jesus.
I rolled my eyes so many times throughout this book, I wanted to stop reading. Which I did. Couldn’t finish past 85% because let me guess. Heroine gets away with everything, hero is in love with her after knowing her for a short period of time, he’s so scary yet turns into a pussy because of heroine and disregards all of his duties and promises to the family.
If you’re looking for a sappy, shitty mafia romance that’s unrealistic and focuses on how in love two characters are despite their own principles, this is the book for you.
$4.00 on Amazon? Waste of money. $4.00 is a lot when you continuously purchase books in an attempt to support upcoming authors however this… Such a disappointment. Skip this shit and go find a mafia book where the Author actually does some research about how crime families function instead of writing how "scary, evil" men lose all focus over a piece of pussy.
1 STAR. I'd give it less if I could.
