This is the second book in the Roma Royals duology and I really enjoyed the reading experience!
This follows Pasha - a Roma prince - and Zara - a dispatch call operator who has been brought into Pashas world when a little boy calls 911 asking for help.
This book takes off right where we left on which is really great and the pace was set from the start. At first I thought it was medium paced book, maybe a little slow, but actually in hindsight looking back on it I think it was kind of perfect for the story. Everything was in the right place, nothing felt too dragged out, nothing felt too quick. I think everything kind of got it’s right time.
There were definitely points throughout the reading where I was sat there like “oh my God oh my God what’s gonna happen” and definitely moments I felt my breath being held along with the characters. I had loads of theories to begin with, and more or adjusted ones as I read on and even in the end I still didn’t guess all the twists and turns so it keeps you guessing the whole time which is good and again works with the pace.
This is a dark romance story so there is a lot of steam too which I am a fan on. The sex scenes were definitely minimum 15 rating, leaning towards an 18. There is an undoubted amount of chemistry between Pasha and Zara that feels explosive even reading it.
The reason this isn’t 5 stars is because there were a few small points in the story that I felt were brushed over a little too conveniently but not enough to deter me from the overall story. However I do feel that I could happily read a third book in this series because I still feel there’s some story left for Pasha and Zara and the characters in their world.
