A Beautiful Crime by Analee Giancoala
4.5
Mafia romance with an mmc who's obsessed with the fmc; meanwhile she hates him and his spiraling down into darkness and ready to become a villain to those who put her there.
Constantine (mmc) and Carina (fmc) definitely have a fiery dynamic. I liked how much Constantine loved Carina's darkness and how he wanted to help free her from the cage her family put her in. Carina was struggling hard with good vs evil and who she has become but she became a badass Queen with a little assistance and love from Constantine. Together, they're one powerful af couple!
The spice takes a minute to get to as first Carina has to let down some walls and realize she can embrace the darkness she loves without becoming like her father or brother. But once that spice hits - ON FIRE!!!!! Seriously, these two couldn't keep their hands off each other.
Other things I loved: found family aspects, groveling, character growth, and the submissive side that both would give to one another.
Reason I took off a star - the first 30%ish felt a little repetitive (especially with the "re-birth" and good vs evil within oneself).
Definitely recommend this mafia romance for all who love a very possessive & obsessed mmc, fiery and badass fmc, hot chemistry, push & pull relationship dynamic, and great side characters!
Thanks to the author and Luna Literary for the e-ARC. Review is my honest opinion.
