Queen Reviews

  It's not often that we run into a MMC who isn't the standard of perfection that we're used to reading about. In Painted Scars, that is not the case. Roman, is a Russian Pakhan who has been damaged due to his way of life. Organized crime always has a way of leaving scars and too often characters manage to miraculously escape situations that they shouldn't. So seeing how Roman managed to deal with having a permanent injury without spreading weak, was a great way to show this. Having this injury didn't make him less masculine, imposing or attractive. I liked that the author allowed us to see this along with also seeing his insecurities about it. Too often men are made to believe that they can't feel emotions unless they serve a purpose. Here we see Roman baring himself to Nina in a beautiful way. I liked their love story and how they managed to accept each other even though it was a little hard for them both. Though I will say, they didn't really

  I liked this book. It was a good start to a series. I've had this one sitting on my TBR for a good minute and finally decided to take the plunge and I'm not disappointed! The was a lot going on in the beginning that we had to unravel and even after the this story concluded there is still more unknowns out there. Our couple hasn't officially gotten together yet but I'm sure the powers that be have noticed how things are progressing with them. I can't wait for more on Danicas history and seeing how she comes to terms with having feelings for Samael.     There was just tension in this book pretty much.  No spice really. It is definitely firmly in the 2 category when it comes to spice but I'm hoping for more in the next book. Overall I gave this book a 4 because it was interesting enough to keep my attention and I want to learn more about these characters. I'd recommend this book and I'm picking up book 2 in this series! Happy New Year!!
