OH MY GOD!! I absolutely loved this. Why choose is my favorite trope and add in the dark romance with all of the spice and suspense? YES PLEASE! This book had everything I love and more. Enemies to lovers. Strong female main character. The men were amazing. Ugh. I wish I could read this again for the first time!!

I wasn’t able to finish this, unfortunately. If you prefer s lot of smut, this book is for you!

Overall, the cover art is beautiful, the author is kind, and the book definitely has potentially to be loved by most. Personally, it just wasn’t for me. However, that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a good book.

A great spicy, sexy, and dark book! This is my first book of Marian's and I really enjoyed it. I definitely look forward to reading more.

*This was an ARC received in return for an honest review*

Unfortunately I had to DNF this book at 26% 😔

While the premise of the book sounds great and I don't doubt that the story itself could be interesting, i ended up DNFing this book due to various reasons.

The female MC was a mixed bag of everything. Her whole behaviour annoyed me to unbelievable ends. Like the fact that this guy asked her out various times and she constantly says I'm not interested but then suddenly is and says yes?! That's not how things work 😪 Either you're interested, or you're not. This whole thing felt more like a "I need him to beg on his knees 154 times before I'll agree."
Then her big girl attitude with a group of guys who could literally shoot her right there and then? Nah, absolutely not. If a guy is holding a gun to your head, just fucking answer his questions 🙃 you'll get shot either way.
And the fact that she relied on the One Night Stand who disappeared? Absolutely not. Why does she think that this man would jump to her rescue just cause he made her cum 9 times? It's childish really in my eyes and wishful thinking.

All in all, I'd give the book 2 stars so far only cause the premise of the book is intriguing. But not intriguing enough to make me read the whole book.

Let me start off by saying that reading the prologue alone had me hooked! Raven a girl who has had a traumatic life, who is a resilient, head strong, FMC works at a hotel in London. She meets Archer, a repeat customer of the hotel and that is when my mind gets blown. This is a mafia romance and the plot is absolutely amazing, chef's kiss 💋 I immediately fell in love with Archer 🔥 Then 3 more men are introduced. West the grumpy, bad-ass, dark leader. Killian, the muscle, confident one who also has a soft side. Kazz, the smart and sweet kindred spirit. This RH is everything 🙌 The twists and turns have you unable to stop reading. Beware, it ends on a major cliffhanger and now I'm dying to read book 2! P.S. the spice is 🔥🔥

Wow! Absolutely devoured this SPICY/Dark/Deep Plot book. Raven is a strong and street smart FMC. She's been through a lot, and I was thoroughly impressed with her ability to hold her own. If you love a take no sh*t FMC, this is the one! The men were *chef's kiss*. Literally all of my favorite types of book boyfriends in one story! I definitely fell for all of them. Give it a read if you like:

Why choose
Dark romance
Enemies to lovers
Multi-POV
Organized crime
Plot twist endings

My favorite ARC so far this year. Beware of the cliffie. The ending still has me shook. Can't wait to continue the series!
