★★★½☆Synopsis
I taunted a monster. Now I’m caught in his claws. He was only supposed to be a faceless fantasy.A masked man from the app to enact my darkest, most depraved impulses with. But I played games with the wrong stranger, and caught the attention of a psychopath. Because Kratos Drakos isn’t just Greek Mafia royalty. He’s not just lethally powerful, physically massive, and dangerously gorgeous. I’ve seen what lurks beneath his mask: a beast with a primal taste for chasing, catching, and corrupting. Now, to stop a mafia war, I’m being wed to that very monster. But the deeper I’m drawn into Kratos’ twisted reality, the more I realize one thing: The most dangerous game you can play with a psychopath isn’t running away. It’s falling for one.
The protagonists
BIANCA SARTORRE
THE MAFIA PRINCESS
All balance and appearances on the outside. Inside, desires no one in her world could understand — until she finds someone who shares them without judgment.
KRATOS DRAKOS
THE GREEK MAFIA PSYCHOPATH
Powerful, brooding, and misunderstood within his own circle. Behind the mask is something darker and more real than anyone dared to see before Bianca.
My review
What I loved most is the premise that unites the protagonists: two people who feel out of place within their own families, hiding their monsters, until they find a space to explore that dark side. The story moves faster than I'd like. But it delivers: I got under each protagonist's skin and understood them. I'm really enjoying this universe and will definitely keep reading.
Who is this for?
Dark romance fans who enjoy heroes with darkness that makes sense
Readers who want intense spice with unapologetic kinks
Anyone already in the Jagger Cole universe who wants more of his mafia men
