Carnal Urges Special Edition by J.T. Geissinger
3.0
3.75 ★
Mood rating, for the vibes and the vibes only.
This is a girly pop mafia romance, and I had the best time reading every single page.
The plot was all over the place and even though that usually bothers me, I was in for the ride not really batting an eye at all the silliness.
I didn't expect to laugh out loud as much as I did. Sloane & Declan have one of the best banters I've ever read!
Sloane is incredibly charming, and I did fall instantly in love with her. Her being an actual genius only made me fall even harder.
I kept imagining Declan as a version of Pierce Brosnan circa 1985, so it wasn't difficult to also be charmed by him, although I did want to punch him for how he reacted on the abortion topic. But he redeemed himself.
I enjoy stories the most when couples stand on equal ground, and the relationship truly becomes a partnership. Specially in mafia romances or other similar tropes.
This dynamic solidified my appreciation for this story. Declan wasn’t a cliché toxic alphahole (well, not too much), nor did he diminish or infantilize Sloane’s capacities and worth to feel superior.
