A review by eantoinette285
The Brit by Jodi Ellen Malpas
5.0
First off, if you know my blog or any of my other social accounts, you know I love some Jodi Ellen Malpas. I was a big fan of her This Man series (and I can’t wait for it to properly hit Passionflix and see The Lord of the Manor on screen… yum)!
Second, and again – if you know me – you know I’m a sucker for anything Shane East narrates. He could read me a phone book and I’d be left a pile of salivating mess, so when he took on the dark and dangerous Danny Black, I was totally on board.
I feel like I haven’t jumped into a romance novel in awhile. I haven’t even had an Audible account for a bit, but I decided to end the dry spell when I had heard so many good things about this standalone novel – and the reviews were right!
This story might be uncomfortable for some. There’s dark themes, dangerous/fatal events, and scenes that may leave some audiences squirming. I will say you should try to brave it because not only is this book super sexy, but there’s a big fat plot twist that left me feeling all the things. Seriously, all the things. Rage, sadness, relief, frustration – you name it, I went through the phases. That being said, I feel like you won’t regret it.
Danny and Rose are your typical trope – damaged and dark people resigned to their lots in life, until they meet each other and realize that they want more, that they deserve more. For them, that’s not super easy thanks to all of the deadly obstacles that lay in their paths. Still, they fight and force their way through the impossible – mostly because they have to, and it seems that not even death can keep them apart. That’s one hell of a connection if you ask me.
While I’m not typically one for a “bad boy” type, I do LOVE a man who is dark/brooding/moody and insists that he’s heartless, when he clearly isn’t, and Danny checks all those boxes and then some. He’s met his match with Rose. She’s fierce and tough despite having her back to the wall on a personal level. When they collide and go toe-to-toe, things are explosive in good and bad ways.
I don’t want to say much more without giving away the twist or too much of this story to give you any clues as to what will unfold. I will say that if you haven’t already, throw this book in your beach bag or grab the audio version and listen to it while you float around the pool in the sun and get a tan. If you want, you can thank me later!
