Can I swear on here? I don't know, but holy s**t!
I recently read the mother of dark romance (if yk yk) and I didn't think It could be beaten, but my god this book goes above and beyond!
if you need an easy read to pull you right out of a reading slump this is the one!
Now, my TBR is somewhat 300 books long and a lot of books have been on there for a year or so, but this book didn't even last month on my TBR, I had to jump in and it did not disappoint.
The spice is absolutely amazing, the backstories of the characters are really heart touching and sad but my favourite parts... the plot twists and drops, holy moly, I didn't see a lot of them coming whatsoever and it was shut the book and scream moments.
I loved the characters in this and their personalities are. spot. on.
Seraphine is a hot headed, impulsive young woman suffering trauma and anger issues as a result; Leroi comes to the rescue and flips her life around. The character development in this book is insane and the way Leroi handles her and trains her essentially, is truly beautiful in the sexiest, most effed up ways possible.
I will recommend this book every day till the day I die, but please do check trigger warnings if you think there is anything that could potentially upset or hurt you.
I'm sorry Zade, you've been beaten.
Easiest 5 stars I've ever given and I cant wait for Emberly and Romans story Snaring Emberly on the 31st of March 2024!
Gigi Styx, what an amazing author, I will be reading all books by her from now on!

This is a dark romance and YOU SHOULD read the trigger warning page. She is dark. She is spicy and she was the perfect read for me. That said this author did a great job of outlining the triggers. Please read before going into it.poupimali's review

4.5
BUT I really recommend Taming Seraphine.
This is happening in the mafia mob with a conflict between two families. Leroi is a hitman with a strong moral code and Seraphine is a really unhinged FMC called a Lolita assassin…
It is gore like really check the TW (she has a thing for male genital parts…) but otherwise i really enjoyed myself, this book have a strong story line with plots and spice. Everything well balanced.
Story : 4/5
Plots : 5/5
Spice : 🌶️🌶️.5 but this is 🚩🚩🚩
Strong FMC : 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Protective MMC : 🖤🖤🖤
I received it as an ARC, this is my honest opinion. I have no interest to give a positive opinion what so ever and this is a really good book for all the dark romance girlies!
