From USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Michelle Heard comes a new STANDALONE, full-length BRATVA/BODYGUARD ROMANCE novel.
My hobbies consist of shopping, eating, and sleeping. Yeah, I know, it doesn’t sound like I have much going for me, but what is a girl to do when she has an overbearing father who doesn’t allow her to be anything but a socialite?
I’m used to being in the spotlight, but when my father starts getting threats on my life, he hires a bodyguard.
Maxim Levin, the Russian God with intense eyes and a face carved from stone. I don’t think the man has ever cracked a smile. He’s domineering, broody, and scary as hell.
The more time I spend with him, the more his secrets come to light.
Turns out he’s not just a regular bodyguard.
My father hired an assassin.
An Assassin! Aka, a man who unalives people for a living.
Maxim has one more secret yet to be uncovered, and when I finally crack the hard shell of his unforgiving exterior, I’m in for the shock of my life.
Restrain Me is the fourth thrilling story in the Corrupted Royals mafia romance series. I adore this series and each book gets better and better.
Michelle Heard writes mafia romance that is seamless to enjoy. I fall straight into these stories and become immediately hooked–by the characters, the fictional world, the storyline, and of course, the writing.
I don’t want to reveal too much about the storyline since it’s one you should read to find out more, but the key points are:
– Max is an assassin who takes on a bodyguard assignment as a favour.
– Camille is a not-so-typical socialite and Max’s new charge.
– Sunshine & Grump trope with lots of fun banter.
– Mafia romance, therefore has dark themes. However, I found Restrain Me to be much lighter than her other books in the series. Please check trigger warnings beforehand, though!
– Fun cameos from the previous books’ main characters, which made me want to reread the series.
– Camille is an absolute delight and someone I want to be friends with!
As previously mentioned, Heard has a way of writing that completely hooks me in and makes it near impossible to put the book down. I adore dark romances and mafia romances, which Heard delivers every time. Restrain Me still had similar dark mafia romance feels but in a slightly lighter way, which was a nice change of pace.
Although this series interconnects, each book can be read as a standalone. So, I would absolutely recommend this as a starting point for anyone who’s interested in starting mafia romance or “dark romance” but doesn’t want to start with anything too dark or heavy.
Overall, a great read!
