A dark secret. A corrupt marriage. And a beast who might just fall for the beauty.
DARE
Power. Control. Darkness.
I’ve built an empire with those three things, and I’ll destroy anyone who tries to threaten it.
When Rose Miller’s father announces her arranged marriage to a man far worse than me, I step in. She needs my protection. But she doesn’t know the price of my help.
We share a secret, one that could ruin us both. A crime that ties us together in ways she doesn’t understand.
I’ll marry her, keep her safe, but make no mistake, she won’t just be my wife. She’ll be mine, body and soul.
ROSE
I’ve spent my life following every rule my father set. But when he tries to give me to a monster, I realize I’ve been trapped in a gilded cage.
Dare Richardson might be the only one who can protect me, but he’s ruthless. A dangerous beast I’ve always despised.
The truth is, we’re both running from something darker than either of us, and when he offers me a way out, I can’t help but accept.
The man I once swore to hate is now my husband.
And the beast within him? He’s the only one who can set me free.
This is a dark contemporary MF romance. It is the first standalone in the Princes of NYC series
She’s the daughter of my enemy, and I’ll fu*ck her like she’s one.
In my constant search for new to me authors to obsess over, the blurb to Pretty Little Threats immediately had my attention. And now that I’ve finished, I’m already desperately anticipating the next release in this series.
I love a good hate to love romance and boy do these two fiery characters bring that trope to life.
“If you wake up one morning without your tongue, don’t be surprised.”
Dare laughs—like he thinks I’m joking, when I’m already planning how to do it. I glare at him. His lips press into a wider grin. I almost trip, but years of practice in heels and Dare’s hand on my waist keep me steady. That smile is disarming. Beautiful. Dangerous. “I like it when you threaten me.”
What? Is he insane?
The story of Dare and Rose was full of delicious banter, hate lust, and a marriage of convenience with a bit of bribery and blackmail thrown in.
Rose is the daughter of Dare’s biggest adversary and to say that there is no love lost between these two, is a mild understatement. Dare is a cold and ruthless business man who is known as the Beast of NYC for good reasons. Rumors of murder and dark secrets circle around him.
Rose is a woman who is desperate for her father’s approval. But when her father locks her into an arranged marriage with a man she despises, she realizes that her freedom was nothing more than a hopeful illusion. And the answer to her problem may be a deal with the devil himself.
If you’re looking to dip your toes in the darker romance, this is a perfect gateway book. It’s gritty and has plenty of darker themes but without going full black. Definitely morally gray and with plenty of suspense thrown in.
The writing was quick paced and I found myself easily enraptured by the story. I also really loved both characters; Rose may have grown up as the daughter of a rich businessman, but she’s no naive or sheltered woman. There’s a bite to her that I really enjoyed. Dare immediately had my attention because the man simply draws you in with his magnetism that just jumps off of the pages.
I devoured this book and loved the chemistry between Rose and Dare. I would have loved a bit more meat to the ending, because it seemed like Rose got over the shock of what she learned a bit too fast. But it definitely didn’t take away from my enjoyment.
If you’re looking for a super spicy hate to love romance with plenty of banter and all the chemistry, you need this book on your TBR!
