Saved by D.D. Prince
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Love this book and the related Dominator series
I loved this book, and the related Dominator series. I actually paused reading in book 3 of the Dominator series to read this book. I really enjoyed the characters. I can’t say Alessandro will be a new book boyfriend (he won’t- Holly’s capacity to forgive his past sins is apparently greater than mine), but I enjoyed the book nonetheless. It is dark. There is reference to a considerable amount of non-consent. He is rough with her. To the point where she bleeds. Where she is hurt. I don’t particularly like him, honestly, but it is what it is. I think the author did a good job of exploring his damage- why he is the way he is, how it has affected him. I sort of get why Holly continued to hold out hope. I’m just saying I wouldn’t have done the same.
Still, I have thoroughly enjoyed the Dominator series along with this book, and I do recommend them for dark mafia reads.

Him:
I saved her from a fate many would believe was worse than death. But, I’m no hero. Far from it.
I’m saving her for myself, which might be an even worse fate.
Her:
He’s dark. He’s dangerous. He’s the most attractive man I have ever laid eyes on. Everything about him says villain but I can’t help but think that maybe there’s a hero deep inside.
He’s kept me apart from the others for a long time. No one is allowed to touch me. Few are allowed to even set eyes on me.
I arrived here just before my sixteenth birthday. But soon, I won’t be a little girl any more.
How much longer will I be safe? And is safety all that matters?
This is a dark romance. If you like your romance dark, proceed. If you don’t, or if you’re not sure — approach with caution.
