Review for Dominic: a Dark Mafia Romance by Natasha Knight: ★★★

Dominic: a Dark Mafia Romance by Natasha Knight

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


::..Reviewed for Red's Midnight Readers..::

I was kindly given an ARC of this in exchange for an honest review. I gave "Dominic" 3 stars.

These are the sort of reviews I hate to write but the blurb of this book promised a raw, gritty, no holds barred kind of read but the content unfortunately for me, didn't deliver. There were elements that were quite dark, brutal almost that I quite enjoyed but they were few and far between.

It wasn't a bad read but it had potential to be so much more.

I think one of the elements that put me off was the amount of names that were thrown around sometimes, I found it a little hard to follow as I was trying to remember who was who.

It's told in dual POV which I did enjoy though, it's give you a better feel for the characters and a deeper incite into the characters and the motivation behind their actions. The characters are well developed and I enjoyed reading the banter and chemistry between the two main characters.

Although marketed as a standalone, I think this book would be better if you read them in order.

I feel for a "dark mafia romance" it is missing all of the dark elements.

It wasn't for me but don't let my review put you off. If you enjoy a mafia romance that isn't too dark then this will probably be for you.

Dominic

I was the boy who would never be king. The monster who could never be loved.

Gia was just a job. Just another girl caught in a world of monsters.

It didn’t matter that I liked the look of her.
I didn’t care that she cringed when she saw my soul.
I liked it.
I liked her fear.
And I wanted her.

Monsters didn’t get to live happily ever after, though. I knew one day I’d have to go back. Because time neither forgave nor forgot.

And neither did I.

Old debts needed to be settled. Enemies punished. It was past time I returned to the family business. I’d been gone far too long.

Gia

All my life, I believed in fairy tales. Not the Disney kind. Never those. I always knew life was darker than that.

I was the daughter of a foot soldier. The sister of a snitch. A nobody.

Monsters had been part of my life for as long as I could remember, but none as dark as Dominic Benedetti. None as cruel. None as broken.

I had no illusions about what he was. I had no desire to save his soul. And I couldn’t care about his bleeding heart.

But love isn’t always beautiful. It could be a twisted, ugly bitch.

I’d always known this was the kind I’d find. The only kind that could touch me.

Because some of us, we belonged in the dark.
And Dominic and I belonged in the dark.

Author’s Note: Dominic is a steamy standalone romance. He is the ultimate Anti-Hero, so be prepared for a crazy, rough ride. To fully understand Dominic’s actions, I recommend reading the first book in the Benedetti Brothers duet, Salvatore.

This book is intended for mature readers. No cliffhanger and no cheating.
