Gorgeous Monster by Charity Ferrell

5.0

“Look at my monster, growing a heart”

Charity writing mafia is everything my reader heart needed for 2023!

This was my first ever best friends dad age gap book and she sold it seamlessly. I listened to the audiobook and the narrators were also amazing with their performances and bringing the characters to life.

There was great angst, character dynamics and push/pull in the storyline and both characters were great as individuals, but perfect together. I loved that Christen didn’t soften up into a puddle of mush and remained a believable black hearted mafia man throughout the entirety of this book. I also loved that Natalia could hold her own against him and wasn’t afraid to challenge or sass him. She was both badass and soft in all the right areas for a heroine.

This was an unbelievable start to her mafia series and the ending of book one leveled up on unbelievable beginnings for book two of the series. I’m in a huge hangover and want my hands on book two….like yesterday.
