Grinning Cat's Reviews > His Demands

I like a good K.C. Crowne romance. Unfortunately, this isn’t one. The romance plot is very thin, with the business of the Bratva completely overshadowing it until we don’t get any emotion or growth. The zexytime scenes are almost laughable, alternating between modern earthiness and purple prose better suited to a historical romance from c. 1986. The words “manhood” and “womanhood” stopped being commonly used for a reason. The lack of connection makes this book suffer. Oh, it’s not horrible, and it’s certainly readable. But it’s also average and uninspired.
Here’s the Breakdown:
MMC/FMC- Ivan and Julie
POV- 1st person dual
Genre- Contemporary Romance
Heat- 1/5. Some decent BDSM Lite.
Series? I don’t think so
Safety? Y
Triggers- violence, explicit erotic content
Tropes- He Ain’t Heavy- He’s My Bratva, Marriage of Convenience, Workplace Romance (Boss), Billionaire, Age Gap, Misplaced Text.
