When I first learned about the Cavalieri Della Morte Series, the concept was alluring to me and I was so enthusiastic about these books. Beautifully Brutal was my introduction to Dani René’s writing and it was an enjoyable read. On the suspense and darkness aspect this story was thrilling, but I must confess that on the romance side I just didn’t really connect with the protagonists.
Lance Knight is Arthur Calthorpe’s most trusted assassin on the Tabella Della Morte. This callous man arbors a sinful secret: he’s in love with his boss’s much younger daughter, Giuliana! I normally love a good age gap, forbidden romance but in this situation I just couldn’t connect with either of the characters as much as I wanted. Maybe it was the fact the couple spend almost all the book apart and it didn’t help me feel their dynamic as a couple. The flashbacks were too short to really feel the blossoming of their feelings in my honest opinion.
Although the romance didn’t reach my expectations, this read was short and fast paced and brought a few interesting revelations and unexpected events. It kept me invested in all the scheming happening and the obstacle to Lance and Giuliana’s happiness.
I’ll definitely try other books in this series and learn about the other members of the Tabella Della Morte, because the idea behind the series is exciting!
