Heart of a Monster by Shain Rose
5.0
I was bullied into reading this. Shain Rose herself is freaking adorable. She posts reels on social media that are basically just her doing generic dances to music while quotes from her books pop up on screen. After months of seeing them on a daily basis I felt like I needed to stop ignoring her and dive in. I kicked off my journey with Heart of a Monster due to a few very notable quotes.
If I had done a bit of research, I would have known the Stonewood series came first. However not reading them hasn't hurt this story in anyway. It just triggered my OCD knowing I was going out of order.
Heart of a Monster is about Rome and Katie. Trigger Warning: Sex trafficking
Katie and Roman first meet as teens, cross paths again, then eventually become acquaintances who run it the same circle as their roles and relationships within the Italian Mafia make associating necessary.
A reoccurring theme in this story is survival. Katie does what she needs to do to survive. She is strong, intelligent, analytical, and beautiful. She's also all alone in this world. She reminds me of Vivian from Pretty Woman.
This story had a mini emotional love triangle and some RH vibes.
