When Heroes Fall by Giana Darling
5.0
My Review:
When Heroes Fall is the first book in the "Anti Heroes" Duet by Giana Darling. Now I am not sure why but I put these books off for a very long time. Because I do really enjoy this author and I have always truly enjoyed her books. So When Heroes Fall is basically an mafia don and a laywer ice queen. Now Elena has been in previous series that is in the connected world, so I haven't read those books. I just got to see the unveiling of Elena. I am actually relieved because from what I have heard she isn't great in some other books and that might have ruined my enjoyment of this book. Now that I have seen her true character, I think I will enjoy those previous books more as I understand who she is and the things she dealt with.
When Heroes Fall had one of my favorite dynamics actually. I really admired these characters. And our hero Dante, is one of the best mafia heroes I probably have ever read. I love that even though he is a morally grey hero, he has a code he lives by, he loves those under his care and will protect them no matter what happens. Then we have Elena who has been burned by the mafia in her life, and really hasn't ever been put first by anyone in her life. We see her slowly thaw, we see glimpses of the woman she is and we see how she responds to Dante who has a very commanding presence but has a gentle side when it comes to her.
If you are a fan of mafia romance, then this duo series needs to be on your must read list! I guarantee you will fall in love with this world.
