I wish the guys' feelings had been taken into account more. It's not badly done, but it felt like I was launched from Point A to Point C and we'd skipped over a Point B somewhere. The beginning was great but then 75% of the middle is basically just smut and romantic confessions. SILK MALICE is paced very differently than the first book. They feel the same- not that they'd admit it- and are willing to move hell and earth to get her back. January has been kidnapped by her evil ex-fiance, and is starting to realize that she feels more for the men who kidnapped her than she should. SILK MALICE starts where the last book left off. Naturally, I started reading immediately. What a glorious end to a rather exhausting day.
I was SO excited to get my hands on SILK MALICE, so my whole week was made when the author sent me an ARC a couple days before I planned on buying myself a copy. Disney Princesses really can't stay sweet and innocent for very long in the mobverse. Also, I thought it was hilarious that this was a Snow White retelling, but with four mob guys. Which is a surprising twist for an erotic romance. The overly innocent heroine and RH mafia premise should have put me off, but it ended up being a pretty action-packed adventure, even if the answer to the "do they bang question?" was technically not. VELVET CRUELTY was an especial surprise to me, because it had so many tropes I normally don't like in romance. Eve Dangerfield has become a new favorite of mine with books like ACT YOUR AGE and VELVET CRUELTY.
