Sheridan Anne has mastered the art of the binge read. Both books I have read of hers have taken me less than 24 hours to read. I could not out them down.
Her smut is pretty great. Her characters are engaging and unique. Her writing style is easy to follow and immerses you in the story.
That said…. You have to look beyond the cliche and trope was of it. Yes, these are story lines we have seen before, but she writes them so damn well.
Four stars only because I hate hate hate misunderstanding/miscommunication tropes. For duck sakes just tell him about Sergiu.

4.5 stars!
I enjoyed this one! I feel like the story didn’t beat around the bush. When feelings are felt, they’re known, and it was a nice reprieve from mafia romances where characters try to keep their feelings close to their chest. I enjoyed that aspect of this story. And the revenge, It was sweet! I love a bloody story, and this one totally measured up!
Chiara has the attitude to be the perfect mafia queen, she just needs to realize her own power. Once she does, oh man was it delicious the woman she becomes! I LOVED her transformation, even if I hated what pushed her there. And her confidence in her sexual appetite was unlike any other. Chiara is fucking crazy, and I loved her for it.
Killian has the heart that you wouldn’t expect of a mafia man, he refuses to see it. I loved Killian’s soft side for his Chiara. He was a ruthless killer, capable of mutilating a man, but he always has Chiara’s best interest at heart.
Killian is king, with Chiara as his queen, together they have the potential to run the shit out of the Romanian mafia!

I don't always rate DNF titles, but when I do, it's because there's something irredeemable about the book. Plots change as a book progresses; writing does not. In the first four chapters (~50 pages), characters and events have contradicted themselves multiple times, and there have been more anti-sex worker insults thrown around than I could keep track of.

The beginning of the book started out interesting. The FMC is kidnapped off the street and sold to an human trafficking ring and although it’s a terrifying situation we see that she is able to hold her own in some way. Chiara does a little damage to one of the guys at the auction then looks across the room to see the MMC. He ends up freeing her. The instalove is also fine but I think the author should have taking more time to have the characters put in time to really figure out what they liked so much about each other. She gets to his house and is instantly comfortable the MMC repeatedly telling her that he’s not a good man or her hero but then continues to do the nicest sh*t to her. Killian decides to erase her whole identity and when asked the question “what do we call her?” Everyone he tells about her his response is “I don’t know” or “that’s not important”. I found myself eye rolling at this and saying why doesn’t he give her a new name already??? Just to end up using her first name anyway. He takes her to a Gala and I started to root for her in the beginning just for her to turn into *don’t talk shit if you can’t back it up* was a person. I mean she broke a man’s nose in the beginning of the book but couldn’t defend herself against another female in the bathroom like huh!! Skipping a few chapters and the ending finally started to get a little more interesting once she got sold back to the human trafficking warehouse and the fight to get out was nice but overall my opinion was this author knew how she wanted the book to begin and end but the middle filler had so much more potential.

Started out decent. Made it about 50% of the way thru and couldn’t keep going. The dialogue was weird, the situation was awkward and unrealistic. I realize this is a dark romance and fictional and I have read several dark romances and loved them. But even for the type of book that it is, things weren’t adding up. The time line moved way too fast, the things that were happening didn’t make sense. It had a lot of potential, but was lacking in a lot of areas for me.
