⭐️ 4 Stars ⭐️
Gorgeous Monster started really strongly the Marchetti Mafia Series. Mafia romances are my weakness and this this one didn't disapoint. The illicit aspect of this love story between Natalia and her best friend's dad, Cristian, was a bonus to my already enthusiasm over the age gap romance trope.
Natalia had such a sassy personality, so opposite of Cristian who was so callous and unapologetic. They started their relationship on the wrong path, but the sizzling chemistry was instantly palpable. I'll admit that Cristian was a lot to take in at first. He was so detached and cruel; a true mafia king. I enjoyed watching his hard shell crumble a little while sharing his time with the much younger woman. Natalia had truly a death wish at time, always provoking the man, but it was also so entertaining to witness.
The intrigue of the book was interesting and the story fast paced. There wasn't a dull moment! Suspense, action, steamy encounters, even funny one-liners made this read so amazing. I definitely can't wait for the next novel in line in the series, Gorgeous Prince. I need more of Benny and his lucky lady!
