Reviews with content warning for Violence - Broken Whispers (Special Edition Print)

This was such a surprise! I really enjoyed this a lot. It was feeling like a 5⭐️ and then I had time to think and there were a few things that I wished would have gotten resolved at the end of the book. But this romance was adorable. I loved Mikhail and his daughter; they were so cute!

dark emotional hopeful inspiring lighthearted sad medium-paced

4.25

rating: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ .5/5
includes: age gap (she's 21, he's 31), she's a ballerina, single dad, arranged marriage, think beauty and the beast retelling, asl rep (heroine has damaged vocal cords)
main characters: bianca scardoni & mikhail orlov
spice: 🌶 🌶 .5/5

think beauty and the beast but make it a mafia romance.

this book was EVERYTHING to me and I don't think I will ever shut up about it. It was sweet and made me want to cry for what both main characters have gone through but also made me believe in love and want a mafia man to come knock on my door.

mikhail's role in the mob is one that requires him to be able to hurt people. scars on his body from previous incidents have left him insecure and feel unworthy of love. he finds comfort watching a ballerina at every performance and what do you know? she ends up becoming the girl he's arranged to marry to secure a truce.

their love story is so beautiful and seeing how open they become within one another about how they deserve to be loved and it's okay to be insecure because it doesn't make you any less of a person, is just wow.

mikhail can't let go the idea that bianca deserves someone so much better and someone who people don't get scared because of the scars and injuries he hides and bianca constantly proving he deserves to be loved.. deserves an award.

his relationship with his daughter? yeah.. my heart melted so much.

loved loved loved this book so much and can't wait to finish the rest of the series.

This was amazing! Mikhail and Bianca were so cute. They're relationship was so pure?? Everything about them was so sweet. Mikhail being a single dad was a surprise in the beginning. I didn't expect that lol but his daughter was adorable. I loved the representation throughout this between both of the main characters .There's so much more I want to say but that will take too long lol. This was everything and exactly what I wanted from the last book. I will probably be rereading in the future.
