Poisonous Kiss by Bethanie Loren

5.0

This was a VERY interesting mafia romance novella. 

Briar is forced into an arranged marriage with Ezra by her father and does some questionable things to be able to be free from the mafia world and the morally gray men in her life. For me, this didn't feel like a novella, it felt a lot longer just with the sheer amount of plot, plot twists, and spice that Bethanie put into it. It was very fast-paced, leaving you wondering what's coming next. I HIGHLY disliked Briar's dad with a PASSION. I really liked how Ezra was himself, kinks and all and how he kept calling her "river" (Which he explains why later on in the story and it was the SWEETEST reasoning. Their dynamic with each other (Briar and Ezra) was one of my favorites and I am obsessed with how Ezra was possessive, unhinged at times but so sweet to her over time. I really loved this novella and can't wait to see what Bethanie writes next!
