Isle of Beauty by C.J Lucci

Maybe I’m a tad biased because I think C.J. Lucci is one of the nicest people on booktok. When she reached out to me and asked if I was interested in reading an ARC of her debut book, the only thing I could say was yes. I’ve been following her progress through her videos and her book/videos promoting the book made me even more excited.

It’s a story with the baddest of baddies as a future mob boss and a man who has been trying to keep the mob life out of his life.  These two meet by coincidence ,have some endless passion then she disappears….until 3 years later.

We’ve got arranged marriage, man obsessed, literally feral woman, age gap, and enemies to lovers. This book has a “WHERE’S MY WIFE SCENE?!” and I nearly died. It’s fast paced, dark but not too dark, steam galore, and dual pov.

READ IT.
