Bound to Punish

Doubeck Crime Family #6

by J.L. Beck, Monica Corwin

They call me the mediator.

The charming one who can stop a fight right in its tracks.
Except, I don't want to charm, or smile, or dance.
I'm tired of society picking off my family one by one.
It's time to burn, to punish, to destroy. In order to take down the council once and for all, I need someone on the inside.

Julia is looking to make up for past mistakes and fight back against the organization that used her and threw her away. She'll buy me my ticket inside--that is if we can keep from tearing each other apart first.

**This is a complete standalone within the series. Please be advised this contains dark material not suitable for all listeners. This is a dark enemies-to-lovers mafia romance**

I hate Julia - therefore this book kinda sucked.

The book drags on and on, the internal dialog is quite boring and I don't know if I'll be able to finish. Also, the female narrator is so whiny, total turn off.
