Gorgeous Monster by Charity Ferrell
5.0
Natalia and Cristian should not work together. There are a bunch of things working against them, daughters best friend, marked by the enemy family, serious age gap. Despite all this the chemistry is off the charts. Natalia needs protection. She made an enemy when she broke up with her last boyfriend. She runs to her best friends father, who is a more notorious mobster than her ex, for protection. Cristian is not a good man, he makes no secrets that he is. When he sees the opportunity to get a leg up on his enemy he takes it. They both soon realize there is strong chemistry and the passion is undeniable. Can they move the mountains that are in their way?
This was a fantastic read. Cristian is a fabulous anti-hero. Everything he does is for the good of hid family. He is unapologetically the monster everyone says he is. His background would be tragic had he not embraced it and used to to become the powerful man he did.
Natalia for her part has a lot of learning to do. She begins being extremely naive about the life she has surrounded herself with. Despite having a best friend whose family is entrenched in the crime world she still is pretty clueless. As the story unfolds she begins to realize the seriousness of the situation. She must then embrace the world or be lost. Her growth was slow and at times painful to read, but she was a great opposite to Cristian. She brings light to his very dark character.
This book leaves off on a small (foreseeable) cliffhanger. The couple gets their HEA but it definitely sets up for the second of the series. I have only read a few of Charity Ferrrel books, this one is a bit darker than others. Still has great characters, great story, and all the steam expected
