4.0
Craving In Slumber - Fractured Ever Afters book #2 - Review
Couple: Aurora Corsetti & Rosen Carrigan
Author: M.L. Philipit
Tropes: mafia romance, forbidden romance, love triangle, failed marriage arrangement, hidden princess, bodyguard romance, dark romance
Review: Welcome back to the Corsetti household! I loved, loved, loved this book! I am always there for a bodyguard romance. Aurora and Rosen are the forbidden of forbidden fruit and the build-up for them was phenomenal.
Aurora is the forgotten Corsetti Princess. She was sent away as a kid after her brother Hawke was kidnapped. However, instead of her family brining her back after the threat was taken care of, they kept her away. We begin this book with Aurora being brought back into the fold after her brother Nico takes over for the family. We see him trying to bring his siblings together. To say Aurora is not what was expected is an understatement. She is loud, headstrong and determined to break the mold of women in the mafia. I loved reading how stubborn she was in her beliefs. To me the best parts of this mafia world is all the strong women and the way they are allowed to go out and volunteer for what they want, it is a nice twist from some mafia books.
Rosen is assigned to her protection detail and succumbs to her charms quickly. He attempts to distance himself multiple times and fails each time. When he allows Aurora to meet his sister and nephew it is downhill from there for him. I enjoyed his grumpy and broody character. I thought he was written for the role of a lost man looking for that tiny bit of light that is Aurora.
The arc in this book is continued from the last which is the hunt for Della’s father, Stefano de Falco. While Aurora’s not told about it, she learns through putting pieces together when she meets Della. The other arc is her arranged marriage that she wants no part in. I think this conflict made the steam so much better! Rosen felt guilt and Aurora just pushes her way into his heart. Personally, I didn’t mind Erico and hope we get to read his story at some point, I think he was just going along with his parents’ wishes and was happy that he did not claim rights when the arrangement dissolved.
This couple will stay with you for days after reading! I recommend this for mafia romance lovers!
Rating: 8/10, great forbidden romance!
