Diablo by Cora Rose
5.0
This book was so much fun to read. The author pairs a brat with a compulsive love for destruction, from a crime family with a stoic ex marine bodyguard who is a bit unprepared for who he’s signed up to protect.
This book was hilarious, sweet, steamy and completely unputdownable.
Expect:
* “The brattiest brat that ever bratted ”
* A “giant” bodyguard
* Size difference
* Animosity to love
* Kink exploration
* Age gap
Diablo is terrifyingly adorable, completely out of control, over confident in his life skills beyond saws, hugely loyal to his brother and has a mushy sweet lonely core that you just want to hug. (My need for order was constantly triggered by Diablo’s complete disregard for it).
When Skylar is assigned by Diablo’s father to protect him and go on the run, at first they are like magnets repelling against each other since Diablo takes it upon himself to make things as difficult as possible. But he quickly learns to adjust and see who Diablo is under all that retaliation and snark and reactivity and he wants to give him what he needs. Their attraction is toxic and explosive and all sorts intertwined with feelings and baggage that neither is to keen to confront.
I loved the ending, layers of plot and dynamics tied up, characters humanised, attachment declared.
If you love witty, fast paced, morally grey, sweet, swoony, violent and messy stories I definitely recommend you check this one out.
CW: Violence, morally grey and mature content, dub c0n/non c0n.
