Twisted Obsession by Dani René
5.0
This is my first read by Dani René, and I'm so happy that this book introduced me to her work! Because I just love reading mafia romances. Twisted Obsession is a dark mafia, age gap, enemies to lovers and arranged marriage romance set in the Underworld Kings universe. From the very first page, I was hooked! Dani René's writing technique is amazing! Combining my favorite tropes plus a dark mafia romance?! There's no surprise that Twisted Obsession automatically became a five star read for me! Navigated from the main characters' perspectives: Enzo and Luna's. Enzo is cruel, merciless, ruthless, and a killer with boundaries. He wants vengeance, and unfortunately, Luna is collateral damage; innocent in the midst of bloodshed. Luna may be his enemy's daughter, but she's going to be his wife. And yes, he's the typical "alpha male", possessive and jealous as hell. Wow!! Luna is a badass character!! Despite being so young, she can handle anything thrown her way, namely Enzo. She's observant and can easily read people; mature for age, feisty and fiery. I mean, most people would cower or more like run the other direction when coming face-to-face with Enzo, (especially when/if you are his enemy or on opposing sides) but not Luna. She might fear him, but she won't yield or show her fear in front of Enzo. After all, she grew up and spent most of her time with some of the most dangerous men in her household. She should be afraid of Enzo's "darkness", but instead of running away Luna embraces it; she craves the monster lurking beneath the surface.
They might be enemies, but the chemistry and tension between them! My goodness! Luna most certainly kept Enzo on his toes! Neither of them can't comprehend why they are so attracted to each other. They might hate to admit it, but deep down they enjoy challenging each other. Luna easily affects him by getting under his skin, and this frustrates Enzo. The sassy spitfire, Luna, became an addiction for him; a twisted obsession. Luna is passionate about dancing, it has a major part in her life. Ahh! Loved Mario! He's Enzo's bestfriend and righthand man. Mario pointed out the facts and gave Luna and Enzo advice. Making them realize that despite being an arranged/contract marriage, even when they don't like to admit it to themselves Enzo and Luna started to care for each other. Luna managed to unlock his emotions that he kept a lock on for so long.
A never ending war between two rival mafia families: the De Rossis and Cavallones. Enzo father's last dying wish was for him to marry their rivals' daughter, Luna Cavallone. A contract marriage. The moment her father openly attacked the De Rossis, Luna's fate was sealed; her life isn't going to be the same. But that doesn't mean she's going to go into this marriage willing. Luna is well aware of men like Enzo is capable of. After all, she was trained/prepared for this for most of her life, she was born to rule; to be a queen of the criminal world. Whether Enzo likes it or not, he finally found his match.
