This was a good story but I found it a little bit lacking sorry

Step siblings (they didn't grow up together)

They both fall hard for each other and do dark things for the other

2nd in the series.

Virgin FMC

MMC falls fast and doesn't know what to do with all the feelings as he is emotionally stunted

I found this super cheesy. At times it tried to be smutty but it just seemed forced and out of place to me

Short and sweet easy read.

Not particularly dark.

MMC (Hitman) saves FMC

I didn't find this overall really really dark. some parts were dark for sure but overall it wasn't really.

mafia family

arranged marriage

Really Slow Burn

Grumpy MMC

Single Mom

Fun enough read. A little bit slow for me

Lots of other characters with some unanswered questions surrounding them so I assume it will be part of a series.

Nice ending to the series

Quick Bratva read.

Mute MMC

The past coming back to haunt him.

Self sacrificing MMC

Accidental pregnancy

Young parents

Teary moments

Enjoyable

Not a standalone

Protective MMC

He falls instantly and doesn't know what to do about it.

This was an easy read. I enjoyed the humour throughout especially the self depreciation. This book is the perfect way to spend an afternoon with tea and biscuits

I did not enjoy this book at all and only finished it cause it was so short.

He was so rude to her and then she saw him with no shirt and he's the best thing since sliced bread. He sends threatening legal paperwork and she just overlooks it and lets him have everything he wants. Grow a backbone.

This feels really clumsy. It's almost like you started reading part way through the series.

It's not a standalone it ends mid story.

Great end to the series

Was looking forward to finding out who butcher fell for. Did not disappoint

Really enjoying this whole series. The books are not really standalone. The overall story is across the whole series

I didn't love this fmc. I liked the story I just thought she was a bit of a push over which I didn't love.

The Reaper’s Bride by Eileen North is a fantastic example of dark mafia romance done right. It delivers on one of my absolute favorite tropes: arranged marriage with a hero who is strictly "only soft for her." The dynamic between the main characters is fantastic, and the storyline keeps you completely hooked. It is on the darker side, so definitely check your trigger warnings before diving in, but if you love the genre, this is a must-read.

I thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait to dive into the rest of the series!
