Mafia Romance is often considered a subgenre of Dark Romance but I have this theory that Mafia Romance is really just an evolution of romantic suspense. Both subgenres are heavy on action, feature criminal anti-heroes and mustache-twirling villains. Brutal Prince certainly gave me all those vibes and nothing else.
The Chase by Elle Kennedy (Briar U #1)
I wanted to like this book but at the end of the day I just found it just kind of annoying. Our hero, Colin “Fitz” Fitzgerald is a hot college hockey player but his real passion is art and video game design. His whole personality felt very much like Jughead’s “I’m a Weirdo” speechRead the Post
