Otro gran libro de esta saga. Me encantaron Sergei y Angelina. El personaje masculino me pareció muy poderoso y con una historia impactante, mientras que el femenino no logró atraparme tanto como los de las dos entregas anteriores. Aun así, disfruto mucho cómo se van entrelazando las historias de los distintos libros de la saga y cómo nos vamos adentrando cada vez más en el mundo de la bratva.

Mafia romance. He finds her starving in the back of a cargo truck and saves her from an arranged marriage with the head of cartel. She stays with him (kind of against her will at first) and becomes the only person who can get through to him when he is having disassociating episodes. There is a lot going on and it’s kind of ridiculous but it all works. I kind of love  a couple that can fix each other.

I think this is my favorite so far (only 3rd of 11 so far I think?) and I am obsessed with it. 

These books are so easy to read and have that mafia romance that scratches that itch for me. I love love love them and I’m eating them up!!

This is the third book in the Perfectly Imperfect series, a collection of dark mafia romance stories. Each book features a different couple and can be read as a standalone, but there is some story continuity from book to book so it’s best to read in order. 
Tropes and themes include: 
✨ Russian Bratva and Mexican Cartel 
✨ Age gap 
✨ Only she can calm him 
✨ Who did this to you 
✨ PTSD rep 
✨ OTT possessive MMC 
✨ Touch her and die 
✨Wicked banter 
✨She can protect herself 
✨Guard dog (that’s a cinnamon roll) 
Rating: 4/5 Stars 3/5 Flames 
Nickname: Little Fox 
The Lovely: I loved the wicked banter between the FMC and the MMC and the hysterical sarcasm against the backdrop of some heavy topics. I also loved how the FMC handled the MMC struggles and how she pushed others in his life to do the same. 
The Mundane: Compared to the first two books, it didn’t feel like this book had as much of a plot to the FMC and MMC’s stories. Most of the book was more about their relationship, with the plot popping back up towards the end. 
Recommendation: This is my tenth (I think?) Mood Read May book. I was still in the mood for something dark and emotional but wanted to switch to mafia romance and I needed something fairly short. This wasn’t super angst/emotional but still hit the spot as there was some hurt/comfort vibes. If you like a shorter dark mafia romance with an unhinged MMC and supportive FMC, I think you would like this book.
