Little Bird by Jenika Snow
4.0

I don't read a lot of mafia books because of the violence but it was very well handled in this book! The main focus here was the slow burn / age gap. Plus daddy vibes.

The book had me absolutely melting.

"This was so degrading. I wanted more."

Claudia, a young girl in an Italian mob family, essentially forces her way into the attention of Dmitry, a Russian mafia leader. She was very much a product of her environment but I appreciate that she knew what she wanted and went for it. And Dmitry, for all his hard, tatted, pierced bad assery is incredibly soft for his girl and I love it. Plus the breeding kink? Hot.

The writing was good and kept me hooked. The twist near the end definitely surprised me and I'm curious to see what comes next from Snow.

Received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
