I am an unapologetic Arianna Fraser fangirl. I am wowed every single time I read a new one. She brings on the heat (ooh, Lordy) and adds just the right touch of humor. Today I read Perilous, and I’m a little bit pissed. I’m pissed that I’m done with the book and I have to wait for the next one.
Here’s my review:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
MMC/FMC- Cormac and Mala
POV- 1st person dual
Genre- Mafia Romance
Sub Genre- Scottish Mob (which is a new one on me, but I can totally see it after reading this book)
Genre- Dark Romance
Sub Genre- College/New Adult Romance
Heat Level- ☢️☢️☢️☢️☢️ “What do we have for the readers, Johnny?” “Why, as our prize today, we have an assortment of C words!”
Series? Y
Safety? Yep. No cheating or S.A. anywhere (and you know I always look)
Triggers- explicit erotic content, language, explicit erotic content, violence, explicit erotic content, sex. I’m kind of hung up on the explicit erotic content because holy cow, it makes me question my life choices.
Tropes- Forbidden Love, Teacher-Student, One Night Stand, Badass Heroine, The Couple That Slays Together, Simply Mad About The Mob. Plus these books feature Arm P0rn and Arms P0rn, both of which are super hot.
What I like- Could Cormac get any hotter? I don’t think I’m alone when I say that Scottish Accents make me swoon . Absolutely. It makes me think of things like Highlanders and Sean Connery and Medieval Scottish Romance and Outlander and Kilts and Being Thrown Over His Shoulder and…. I need to put myself in time out for a minute.
The events in this story were covered in the previous book in the series, but here they happen from an entirely different point of view. And it worked.
What made me smile- Dean Christie and her sinister love of power tools and sharp implements. At least she didn’t put a pitchfork through Cormac’s hand (and it was an option).
What I didn’t like- I have some serious weapons envy going on. Those knives made me drool at least 30% as much as the Highlander (I’ve decided Cormac is a Highlander because he’s so Yum).
I was fortunate enough to receive an advance copy of this book for free, and I am happy to leave this honest, voluntary review.
Check Arianna out on Goodreads!
You know how much I love you and this even topped the laughter I had from your stern rebuke about using carrot cake in one of my Christmas books. You are the Queen. Cormac thanks you and is happy to dance for you clad only in his kilt at your convenience.
