“Someone taught this woman about survival. Or she taught herself out of necessity.”

Welcome to the Pageant! 16 women are kidnapped and forced to participate in a dark & twisted beauty pageant, where there can only be one winner. The prize? Konstantin’s hand in marriage and a pretty pink crown. But what happens when three ruthless Russian men pick the one woman who can bring them to their knees? I could tell you buttt where’s the fun in that?!

“The world could end right now, and I would still make you mine.”

If you’re a lover of strong FMC, who fights back and outsmart the MMCs, Lilia is your girl! I know I was going to love this book because it has everything I love (mafia, RH, darkness) but I have not been able to stop thinking about it!

Note: check TW/CW! This is a dark romance book and has themes that are not suitable for everyone. Ends in a cliffhanger and there’s a deleted scene of Kirill & Lilia (iykyk) ;)

Thank you to Lilith Vincent, her team & The SmutHood for the ARC. This review was written honestly & voluntarily based on my own enjoyment of the book.
