piabartolini 's review for:

Gorgeous Monster by Charity Ferrell
3.75
emotional funny lighthearted medium-paced

So, mind the tags, but I actually found this to be a particularly sweet Mafia romance. As cruel as Cristian is for the first half of the book or so, you never get the impression Natalia is in any real danger. They have fun chemistry and the underlying plot was simple, fairly easy to predict, and enjoyable.

This was a low stakes, low tension read for anyone who likes darker age gap mafia romance. Truly. Enjoyable, not a stressful read at all. Not full of cliffhangers either. I finished it in a day and enjoyed myself.

I will say, the Kindle version has numerous errors, more than I usually see. I’m not sure if these are also in the print version, like… actual wrong word choices (deprived instead of depraved, etc). This could be a copy editing issue, and I don’t know what Ferrell’s process is for that, but I’m just going to assume it was an issue in digitizing the book without proof otherwise. They’re a little distracting, so just be aware. It was still a fun story, that aside :)
