Kingpin's Property by Julia SykesMy rating: ⭐⭐⭐ stars
Kingpin’s Property is book four in the Captive Series by Julia Skyes, picking up the story of Carmen Ronaldo, a woman who is trying to take over her brother’s cartel and gets caught in the crossfire and leading male character, Stefano Duarte who takes Carmen as his ‘pet’ whilst making sure her and her brothers cartel crumbles.
Through the story we see the strength that Carmen has and the challenges she faces. Facing Stefano is just another one of her challenges and she does it with poise and sass as there are certainly times when you want to give Stefano a smack across the head as he is quite arrogant and pig-headed. He also doesn’t seem to gauge emotions like the rest of the population and Carmen has to try and teach him how to be more ‘human’ when dealing with things.
There is certainly a lot of push and pull between these two characters and Stefano’s thoughts about Carmen border on obsessive but I think that is a good thing, especially in this instance. This book has slightly dark connotations but flows really well showing us drama, sexy scenes, heart-break and redemption in a short amount of time. As the characters knew each other previously, you didn’t feel like this was a brand-new relationship, Instead just a slow burn building of something that was on-going.
If you like your cartel romances a little dark, sexy and sassy with really good characters, then this is the one for you!
ARC received for a fair, honest and sometimes long review 😊
