Continuing on a dark romance kick...and oddly enough a TBR/Beat-The-Backlog kick (and ignoring my ARCs kick). Here's April Jade's "Mad Love." It's the first novel in her Dangerous Daddies series.
["He looked exactly the way I liked him to… dangerous and mine.”
Benjamin Thomas, a billionaire philanthropist and a rumored mob-boss, was everything you expected him to be—dangerous, ruthless, and handsome. When he found me in the dead of the night, sick and asleep inside his locker room, I expected him to shoot me…. or at the very least, arrest me.
He did neither.
Tucked within the pocket of his arms, he carried me home. In a blink, I had a warm bed, a new doctor, and a man who refused to leave my side. The look in his eyes reminded me of a storm. I didn’t know it yet... but it was brewing just for me.
Benjamin Thomas wasn’t a man capable of loving anything but himself… until he met me."]
This book was...beautiful. It was dark and fast and romantic in all of the ways that nonconventional romances are.
Toby learned about living again, about being happy. Ben learned about using his fucking words. I mean, come on, no one thinks that kidnapping someone and demanding they get better is a romantic gesture (no body but). Some of the things he said weren't..untrue, but he didn't follow them up with "and that effects me and my feelings because...", which really would have helped. Good thing Toby yelled at him until he used said words. Good thing Ben moved mountains (almost literally) to make Toby happy.
Trigger Warnings: violence, on-page kidnapping, mentions of chronic disease, and more.
