Let me preface my review by saying this is the first book by Lili St Germain that I have read. I had this book on my Kindle for awhile, downloaded it because the cover & title caught my eye. So I went in with zero expectations. I haven't been reading too much the past year with everything going on, so I was pleasantly surprised with how much I liked this book. And wished I had the money to buy the next book because I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!!
Note: Trigger Warning. It's dark, bloody, and brutal.
If you like Romeo & Juliet-esque romance, & dark, mafia style romance then I def recommend these books (yes it's a series. No I haven't read book 2 yet- but it's best to have book 2 at the ready! Don't be like me 😂😂).
Avery Capulet lives in a more money then she could spend in her life-time, heavily guarded, arrangeed marriage world. Her father has shady businesses, marriage is just another transaction, and whatever he says goes. But what happens when Avery Capulet, a last name who strikes fear into people, and has people submitting to do whatever is demanded, no questions asks, goes missing? Her body is used, her mind destroyed... And she might not live to see morning...
Rome Montague is a drug dealer, criminal & thief. Fresh out of prison living in the burned down house next door to the Capulet's. A hate that has festered for years between them. He needs the secrets that Avery and the Capulet family are keeping... Even if it means cutting them out of pretty little flesh. Rome Montague is missing... But no body will miss him. After the things he's done to Avery, he doesn't deserve to be found.
Seriously I loved this book!
Avery lived in a world that was heavily guarded. Her father had businesses legitimate and otherwise. She had known loss. She was surrounded by guards. And did what her Daddy said. But when he arranges a marriage for her she wants nothing to do with her soon to be husband. No one dares mess with the Capulet name... So who stole Avery away in the middle of the night?
Rome lived in a world that was light-years away from Avery's even though they lived right next door to each other. He wasn't rich beyond measure. He was a criminal. But his family's much like the Capulet's, with businesses and secrets. With loss, and grief. And with hate in their blood. Rome isn't someone who will be missed.
I wasn't entirely sure what I was getting into picking up this book. But the title and cover intrigued me, and I impulsively downloaded it to my Kindle. Which is where it sat for weeks before it caught my attention while scrolling for a new read. If you like dark mafia romance then grab up this book. It will leave you on the edge of your seat, and wanting more! 4 ⭐'s out of 5 ⭐.
