Malice by Coralee June
4.0

Juliet has had a tough start to life. Her mother went missing one day after work and was never seen or heard from again. Juliet’s grandmother took over her care but lately her Parkinsons has gotten so much worse that Juliet feels like she can’t leave her alone. Since graduating high school, she has been working the overnight shift at a local diner. Her best friend Vicky comes in every Thursday evening to chat and the thing about Vicky is, she is a part of the Kansas City mob. Juliet knows that she can’t ask Vicky questions and she likes it that way. One night Vicky drops a huge bomb on her, she is leaving the country and doesn’t know when she will be coming back. As Vicky leaves Juilet chases after her and comes face to face with the Kansas City mob boss Malice. He doesn’t trust that Juliet knows nothing and takes her. How will Juliet survive and who really is Malice? This is a mafia, forced proximity, why choose romance. Please check the trigger warnings before reading. I enjoyed the book a lot but thought the MFC Juliet was a bit too annoying and whiny for me. The three brothers are all hot and each has such a distinct personality. I wish there was some group spicy scenes but overall it was a good book.
