Destroy Me by Michelle HeardMy rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars
Destroy
Me by Michelle Heard is book one in the new series ‘Corrupted Royals’ and boy
is this one explosive. The story focuses on Misha and Aurora who meet one night
in a nightclub and have instantly hot attraction, only for something to happen
which sheds light on both of their identities and throws turmoil on their budding
relationship. It isn’t until two years later that the pair will meet again at
St. Monarchs a school where those in the Bratva, Mafia and Yakuza to name but a
few send their children to train in the art of killing, torture and everything
else in between. Here the two meet again, but it isn’t love at first sight this
time…more like hate with a good dose of lust thrown in. Misha will do
everything in his power to make sure Aurora knows how much he hates her, but
when her life is put on the line, Misha’s feelings will come to the surface and
the monster is going to be released.
This is definitely
a twisted version of Romeo and Juliet, with Bratva, Mafia and a girl who doesn’t
understand her own strength thrown into the mix. Aurora goes through a lot in
the book, and you see her come out of the other side stronger if not a little
jaded. Her feelings for Misha didn’t really change throughout the book, even
though there were times that he treat he abysmally.
Misha is
just pure male all the way through and is sometimes put into difficult
positions to help Aurora as well as make sure he is keeping his word to his ‘family’.
I loved the relationship that he had with his brothers as well as the lengths
he will go to, to protect Aurora…think pure, alpha male.
Overall,
this was a good mafia story and a quick read, with characters relationships developing
quickly and with a lot of steam. If you’ve read previous books by Michelle
Heard, you’ll have been introduced to St. Monarchs previously and what it is
all about. For a first book in a new series, this one really set it up for
books that are too follow, now it is just the wait and see whose going to be
next.
ARC received for a
fair, honest and sometimes long review. All opinions are my own. 😊
