DNF Review:

So I was actually pretty excited for this book and to see how this author would handle writing a mafia romance. And to be honest I was disappointed, it just didn't seem to fit right. I think this was just an example of why many authors should just stick in their lanes. Its very rare for authors to write various sub genres well. It just didn't feel dark or even mafia like in any way. And the reason for the DNF was the heroine and really the romance too. I just didn't feel their chemistry at all, the heroine was a bit of a man user and the dynamic felt odd. The setup is that these two use each other for sex and while I was intrigued about the set up for the other two books, I am on the fence if I want to continue with this trilogy. I go to about 60% before I decided to just put this one aside. While I appreciate the author trying something new, (and maybe the other books are better) this one just didn't quite work for me.
