Lucifer's Landing by Davidson King
4.0

Enjoyable crime boss romance with plenty of action.

This contemporary mafia romance has plenty of action and drama happening as Dante and Rainn embark on their romance. Dante is the leader of a crime family and Rainn is a high end brothel escort in one of the many businesses owned by Dante.

Circumstances have them crossing paths and the attraction between them is immediate and sizzling leading to many high heat moments. With the darkness of Dante’s world descending upon them, enemies endeavour to destroy all that’s meaningful to Dante, including Rainn. The path to their hard earned HEA is littered with death and destruction but is achieved by overcoming these numerous hurdles. Whilst the two main characters get their HEA the danger is far from over and the final 25% of the plot is focused on two side characters and their story is far from resolved.

I’ve not read a lot of mafia romance so I was really pleased that the characters and interesting plot kept my fully engaged. I enjoyed it but the abrupt change of focus to the two side characters at the 75% mark really felt like I was reading a very long preview of a second book.
