“There is no place on this Earth that you can hide from me, Princesa. It’s well written and the characters are interesting, but I wasn’t invested in their relationship enough to push past the darker scenes. The author does a good job of warning readers with a list of trigger warnings and content warnings so be aware!
While reading I was rooting for Isa to escape rather than be caught by him, so unfortunately I wasn’t buying their love.
But for me, Rafe came across more like a predator than a lover and I couldn’t see him care about Isa at all. If Isa had been older and more experienced I think I wouldn’t have minded as much. Turns out dub-con is a limit for me especially since the main character is so young (18) and the mafia boss Rafaele is in his thirties. However once the MFC was kidnapped and held against her will the book got really dark, real fast, and I couldn’t finish book 2.
I love mafia romance and I really enjoyed the prequel and book 1 of this series. I received an ARC of this series in exchange for an honest review!ĭNF halfway through book 2! Dark romance, be warned! Overall, I liked the series, love’s partnership in an age-gap romance with intrigue, beauty, cunning and a hint of darkness. A decided slow burn, I would have been content with less detail. After a stunning introduction (book one), book two was the breadth of story development with more action in books three and four. Mostly I loved the writing and visuals the series conveyed. Rafe and Isa shared a passionate love affair, so attracted to each other it was tangible. Rafe is charming but ruthless, predatory, and Isa is sweet, unobtrusive, and develops into woman of reckoning, wielding her position by Rafe’s side.Įven with some darker themes, I could feel the theme of romance and fated love flowing alongside the events. The strategic compulsive plays he carries out to make his princess his queen are revealed among heady spice, a cartel backdrop, and self-actualization. Rafe, immediately arrested upon seeing Isa, claims her as his own. They took her from me.Now I?ll take everything from them.I was never meant to fall in love with her.We were children when they betrothed us?an obligation I didn?t want.Before long, her amber eyes had pierced right through me,transforming my indifference into gentle devotion.Then, they stole her from me?banished me from my home and robbed her of my protection.They damaged her in my absence, and the girl I cared for hardened into a woman I cannot resist.I?ve bided my time, amassing my strength now none who stand in my way will survive.The time has come to take back my kingdom.The time has come to make Thalia mine.Author's note: Massacred Dreams is a dark mafia romance duet with elements that may be triggering to some readers.Rafe and Isa story’s is one for all time.
