broken vow (brutal birthright # 5) by sophie lark
Thanks netgalley and the publisher for the advanced readers copy of this book!
I went into this one without having read the previous four in the series- there are obviously other couples that have already gotten together that the author has to catch you up on, but it really did read as a stand alone book. I will say that the other storylines in the books sounded bonkers. telenovela level drama.
I haven’t actually read a mafia romance before- I wasn’t expecting it to be just an obvious, no big deal thing that her family runs the mafia. I thought that would be a bigger plot point, but it wasn’t and that was fine for me! just a surprise.
I liked this book and it was a quick read. I was along for the ride on this one, I wasn’t blown away with the characters chemistry but I was here for it at the same time. It was remarkable but it was enjoyable! The suspense wasn’t too stressful, or too much, just the perfect goldilocks amount. There was a “twist” for who the culprit is- but I saw it coming. Which in a way is good (yay! all of those british masterpiece mysteries are paying off!) because it’s not stressful to read, but in another way is kind of meh, because I feel like the characters also should’ve been able to figure that out.
