Under Locke
by Mariana Zapata
Under Locke: ★ ★ ★ ★
Mariana Zapata
“Babe, I've handpicked everythin' and everyone in here. I know what I want and I get what I want," he breathed. "And I keep what's mine.”
It’s not a secret that Mariana Zapata can do no wrong and Under Locke is yet another example of that.
When Iris’ brother Sonny leaves home to deal with her father’s issues with the law and rival gangs, Iris’ grumpy boss and ex-felon Dex Locke is the last person she expected to step in to help.
Iris is such a sweetheart and such a loveable character. An absolutely sweet and positive girl who is trying to make the best of a bad situation and so generous with her time and her love. She’s a genuinely good person who I loved reading about.
The hero, daddy—I mean Dex Locke is unlike any other Mariana hero. Posessive doesn’t even begin to describe him. His innate sexuality, the cool, suave manner that he just exists, and the way he would do anything for his Ritz is absolutely heartwarming for this rough around the edges tattoo artist. He doesn’t want anyone looking at her, touching her, doing anything with her and I’m so so so here for it. Absolutely loved this man even though at times I wanted to smack his head for how stupid he was with the shit he said because of his hot temper.
This is also unlike any other Mariana book in that it is honestly pretty spicy! And the spice, y’all… so so worth it. Dex for real had my thighs clenching—
Plot-wise, I feel like it didn’t entirely grasp my attention but it was very interesting and unlike anything I’d ever read in Mariana books. But still, super good and the romance was so easy to root for.
There’s a reason why Mariana Zapata is my favorite author. Because she makes the burn worth it. And I fucking love getting burned.
