ABOUT THE BOOK

As the son of the infamous boss of the DeAngelo family, I have merciless duties expected of me. The public labels me a monster, a man without a soul, and one hated by many.

They’re not wrong, and I’m not sorry for it.

When my father orders me to marry a longtime enemy’s daughter to settle a score between our families, she did what any smart woman with a beating heart would do.

She ran.

So, I found her.

She tries to negotiate for her freedom, but despite being inexplicably drawn to the deviant woman, I refuse her pitiful bribes with pleasure.

I still have a job to do, and I’ll make her tell me her family’s secrets, turning a treacherous situation into a game of hatred.

A code of silence will be broken.

Lines will be crossed.

I’ll promise her freedom to get the answers I need, but I’ll burn this city to the ground before I let her go.

What I thought about
Beautiful Criminal


Beautiful Criminal begins with a murder and a burial.  Kieran and Romeo DeAngelo are indoctrinated in their family business at an early age as they are forced to participate in a crime.  Kieran is positioned to take over for his father but Romeo wants nothing to do with it.

But the DeAngelo's aren't the only crime family around. Leona Bravada has been named head-of-the-family but she doesn't want it. She waits for her missing father to return home and resume his family business.  When the DeAngelo's threaten war with the Bravada family, there's one solution -- that's a marriage between the two incoming  heads of the two families.

Leona knows Kieran and she's reluctantly attracted to him, but she knows his reputation and wants nothing to do with a marriage to him. So she runs to a place where she feels safe and it doesn't take long for Kieran to find her. It doesn't take long for her to fall for him and him for her.

There aren't any big surprises in Beautiful Criminal. I did find that Leona has some pretty good size claws and that came in handy when dealing with Kieran at the contentious start of their relationship.  When they are both betrayed by someone close to them, they come together in solidarity and I will say I was left with wondering how their plan would work out in the future.

This book sets up quite a bit in this world, and the story ends with many opportunities for future books in the series. As far as dark romance goes, Beautiful Criminal is a quick read with the usual crime family activities. I did like how Kieran became softer when he was taking care of Leona. I will say I hope there is more about Leona's grandmother as she was the most interesting character of all to me. 

So, my overall impression is this is a series with potential.  While most of this first book sets up this world,  I'm left with wondering how Kieran and Leona will navigate their decisions.

An ARC was provided.  This is my honest review.
