She slingshotted her way into my heart.
I’m a laid back kind of guy.
I don’t like to take life too seriously.
I’ve experienced serious and I’ve gone through the bad life has to offer.
I’m ready for the good in life.
I wear my heart on my sleeve just so someone can take it.
Someone does...
Natalia Moretti.
Out of all the people for me to love, why does it have to be her?
The frenemy’s daughter.
I’m screwed.
I’m risking my life to be with her.
But if life isn’t about taking risks, then what the hell else are we supposed to do? Love with her isn’t simple.
There’s blood.
War.
Revenge.
Anger.
And that’s not the worst of it.
Her Uncle Maximo poses a threat along with someone who I thought was long gone out of my life. Protecting the one’s I love means I could die.
Death doesn’t scare me. I’ve come close one too many times to be afraid of it.
I face it head on.
I will die giving this battle everything I have if it means my family is safe.
And if I do, heaven better have tacos.
MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:
From the moment I picked up this fast-paced, dark romance I was glued to the pages and its storyline full of surprising twists and turns. Featuring a modern-day Romeo and Juliet, the romance of main couple Noah (aka Slingshot) and Natalia will definitely keep you on edge, rooting for them every step of the way as they struggle to reach their HEA.
Throughout previous books in this series I've fallen more and more for the charming and endearing Slingshot. From the outside he's a man who seems carefree, a jokester, with an obsession for tacos. Behind that facade though is a man still reeling from the death of his mother from cancer 15 years before. From that moment he swore to live life to the fullest and work to find just the right woman to settle down and make babies with. Watching other Ruthless Kings find their other halves has him wanting the same for himself and the moment he lays eyes on Mafia Princess Natalia is the moment he sees his future. It's insta-love with an erotically-charged twist as meeting her unleashes his protective, dominant side which leads to a bit of bdsm as Natalia is a natural sub when in Slingshot's arms. Natalia too fell for Slingshot the moment she saw him, but recent events have her father being even more protective than usual. He has no intention of letting anyone take her from him, keeping her locked away out of love, but his protectiveness is breaking her spirit. Slingshot's love for her has him willing to do anything though, even battle her powerful father, to bring her out into the light with him in a sweet and scorching romance.
This story is a satisfying addition to the Ruthless Kings series, an age-gap romance full of suspense and sizzling encounters. Slingshot and Natalia are a formidable pairing who fit together perfectly. Their journey to HEA isn't an easy one though as her father is a powerful man who thinks he knows best. Add in his past coming back to hurt him again, and danger looking to jeopardize her HEA, and readers will find every one of their emotional buttons pushed. Alongside this delightful main couple is a large cast of secondary characters, ones readers have seen before and a few who I hope to see more of as this series continues to entertain.
My rating for this is an A.
*I got this book from the author for review in exchange for my honest opinion.
