I'm Sorry, Princess
Serena
He’s the storm I should run from.
A man built of shadows and violence.
Lorenzo Moretti doesn’t belong in my world—
and yet, every time he touches me, I forget who I am.
He doesn’t just want me.
He wants to own me. To chain me.
And I’m terrified of how much I crave it.
Lorenzo
She was never supposed to be mine.
The princess of a family I should hate, the one weakness I can’t cut from my life.
Serena Beaumont is innocence wrapped in fire, and she burns me alive.
I told myself I’d ruin her. Destroy her. Break her.
But I can’t stop wanting her.
And when betrayal comes wrapped in her name, I don’t know if I’ll kill for her…
Or because of her.
Lies. Chains. Blood.
In our world, love isn’t a fairytale—it’s a curse.
I’M SORRY, PRINCESS is the first book in the Chains of Desire series, a dark romance where desire is dangerous, and love may be the most lethal game of all.

Some books should never leave Wattpad.
This story was shallow, embarrassing, and painfully disappointing. The mmc was utterly repulsive I genuinely hated him. His personality was empty, selfish, superficial, and unbearably arrogant. His constant crude language and verbal abuse toward the FMC were exhausting and disturbing, especially since she kept allowing it without any meaningful resistance or growth.
As for the fmc she is supposedly a psychologist, yet she displays neither intelligence nor professional insight. Her behavior was naive to the point of absurdity, making her role completely unbelievable. There was no depth, no critical thinking, and no emotional realism in her character.
The relationship dynamics were toxic, poorly written, and romanticized in a way that felt irresponsible rather than dark or complex.
Honestly, I don’t even have the energy to properly criticize that’s how draining this book was.. it felt like a complete waste of time.

First of all, huge thanks to the author for the arc. I really appreciate it! 💖
I’m Sorry Princess gave me everything I crave in a dark romance: a possessive, toxic morally grey mmc. in other words, exactly my type 🥲
I devoured this book in one sitting because who needs sleep 😭 But seriously, that ending was absolutely cruel. I need book two, like, yesterday.

I gasped. Lorenzo and Serena’s story was like a roller coaster that broke my heart.💓 It was crazy how he switched his emotions like a switch. My girl truly deserves the world and beyond and I hope she gets it🥺 The best book I have read in 2025. Like it was truly written to perfection and I can’t wait too eat up the next book😝

DNF, I went in without any safety info and that was a mistake. He gets a BJ from a psychologist (and it’s not the first time). I was really intrigued until that scene. Such a shame because it was so unnecessary.

3 ⭐ I feel this was exactly what was needed after being in a bit of a reading slump.
The story starts with the FMC Serena landing a new job as an FBI physiologist, only to find her first patient is Lorenzo the MMC, deadly and the powerful head of the Mafia.
Serena didn’t grow up in a loving home. She spent her entire life trying to please her family, and beneath it all, she yearns to be truly loved. She escapes reality through reading books and writing her own where the men would literally burn the world for the ones they love.
The spice was spicing and there are soooo many questions!! The balance between spice and plot is just right. The book ended on a cliffhanger and I desperately need book two now! I also hope we get more of Siennas story in book two, or at least a separate book about her!
Thoroughly enjoyed!

DNF’d. Takes A LOT for me to hate a book. I read purely for vibes but I couldn’t get behind this book.
1) the writing style was giving wattpad and I could’ve looked past this since this was the author’s first book. At the end of the day, everyone starts somewhere and I can see her improving…. That being said….
2) HATED the mmc and him being a slut…. So unnecessary and how he uses and discards the women he sleeps with. You can’t ask them to give you BJ’s AND get them off?! DETESTED it….
3) the insta lust through me off and I DID NOT LIKE IT ALL. SHES supposed to be a psychologist and know confidentiality laws and the moment she leaves the jail she calls her friend and tells her who the client is and what happened??? BFFR!!?!?!?
I can see the author improving her writing style but just couldn’t see past the mmc, him being a slut, the insta lust etc etc. I couldn’t handle how bad this boon was. Wish I liked it.

Wow. Who doesn’t love themselves a good dark romance. I was hooked on Lorenzo from the start. Good lord that man is hot as fuck. I need the next book ASAP. This book isn’t too dark in my opinion but it might be for others- everyone has different opinions. If you’re looking for something spicy with a bit of a plot alongside it then this book is for you. But that cliffhanger though… where the hell is the next book at?

0 ⭐ dnf at 40%.. honestly this one is completely on me because the title should have been enough. This was like a bad wattpad story with no depth.

your honor, i was ovulating

loved the plot ideas but some of it was very intense and honestly just didn’t fit my expectations of the book. great read and would recommend regardless - had so much more potential for the love dynamic and also the psychologist prison scenes
December 31, 2025
very wattpad style writing, lots of unnecessary mentions of other characters and unnecessary details about trivial things, very poor character building and development.

the mmc cringes me out so much. it’s literally giving wattpad but i’ve read better books on there than whatever this was. whenever he opened his mouth it was always the same shit because what’s with all the “im lorenzo moretti and im better than you” bs. i thought this story had potential, the fmc didn’t interest me that much but i wanted to see how her character would develop and change after starting her new job. but then she falls for him after seeing him for the first time, he literally insults her to her face and then asks if she was wearing any underwear, like what????

4.2 ⭐️ / 🌶️🌶️🌶️.5
im hot and bothered after reading this book
I went in with low fucking expectations and my mind was blown ngl. I would call this your typical mafia book but with a great twist.
Lorenzo & Serena
Lorenzo can get it!! I can picture this man so clearly in my head he feels so real to me idgaf 🤪. The curly hair and blue eyes are a great touch ngl. Lorenzo is mysterious yet mischievous, grumpy yet charming like this man has range thats all i gotta say. This man was so like “ i dont do feelings” and the next he was pouring his heart out to his woman and confessing his love for her lol 😂 Serena at the start of this book was so damsel in distress vibes but after lorenzo you get to see her colours shine. Im hoping she will have a character development in the second book but this is already good enough for me. Her standing up to her parents got me cheering like a football fan ngl 😂😭
I went in blind with this book and its my fault should’ve done my research and now im left with a fucking cliffhanger 😭. I didnt understand why they were stretched some scenes out now i get it cuz its a duet 💀 like i didnt get it how they have this software thing called “lucy” literally hacked into the fbi but still couldnt figure out the motive behind the bad guys. I thought it was gonna be a cute lil argument about the fake engagement but oof that small fire turned into a big one real quick. Im down to read the second book if its out now 😂
10/10 would recommend daddy lorenzo can get it 🙂↕️

DNF chapter 12.
Snippets of this book I saw on TikTok seemed good, but the mmc just spoilt it for me. He’s cringe, & way too playboy for me.
Firstly there is way too much over explaining of the fmcs trauma and friendships within the first few chapters. At first it was like oh okay sounds good. Then it was like urgh okay we get it you’re sad, you don’t get on with your parents and your friends get everything they want. Great. But then it kept going on and it was just unnecessary mentioning.
The mmc is just overly cringe. He gives rich, arrogant playboy who thinks he can get anyone he wants because he’s a big bad mafia boss. Please.
Then I got to the first real smut scene between characters. Way too quick. No flirting, enemies to lovers, no build up. He bends her over (his psychologist btw— they’ve barely talked let alone properly met) and sp*nks her. Like wtf. That sounds hot but actually it was just wattpad cringe. I just hate the lack of consent. And Idc about trigger warnings but when I read a dirty romance book I want build up, real plot, spicy, forbidden but in the right context. The fact he was one big ick made it worse.

When I say I want to read a mafia romance, this is what I mean. I devoured this book. I absolutely loved every bit of it. Lorenzo is such a possessive asshole, I'm in love with him. Is he toxic as f*ck? It's a mafia romance, you already know the answer to that question.
Lorenzo is one of the mafia bosses, and he's trying to find the people who killed his father. He ends up in a relationship with Serena due to circumstances that I would normally find unacceptable, but which I found okay here.
Serena is your nepo baby, "rich girl but grew up in a horrible home" FMC. But I found her cute and ultimately quite endearing. I hope she achieves her dreams in volume 2.
I'm writing this review right after finishing the book, so I may not be very coherent, but this is hands down one of the best mafia romances I've read in a long time.
The book ends on a cliffhanger, and I'll be reading volume 2 on day 1, along with all the volumes after that (Sienna and Andres? Sign me up!).

Let me startttt:
1. I loved the chemistry between the characters. I felt it since their first interaction and I completely LOVED IT.
2. I like their push and pull and how he tries to hate her but in the end he just falls harder.
3. I relate with the FMC. I like how she is real, has mental health issues, struggles with anxiety and tries to be better and follow her dreams.
4. I loved the action. The book it’s not boring and it keeps you hooked.
5. I loved the side characters. Sienna and Andres I want your book next!!!
6. Ends in a cliffhanger 😭😭 I just want the second book as soon as possible.
7. Loved the breakup and how she teases him at the end with Lev and Sienna.
8. AMAZING PLOT.
9. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
10. I need more books from this author.

Cliffhanger…but….
I loathe cliffhangers. Especially when not announced. Real life is hard man; we live for your stories. But, I’m a lifer in reading. I hope the author knows that while I’m a total no-body, I am probably her intended audience and could-be her biggest fan. Announce your intentions, we’re here for you! I want to see where we go next with this story. If you need an unofficial (arc reader) fan, with nothing but an incredibly strong desire escape reality and venture into your dream world...please release the next book. There’s a flock of “me’s” that’s waiting and salivating. Heart you girl. Do not leave us on the cliff.

dnf'ed on page 3
opened the book and saw chris brown and the weeknd on the playlist and instantly knew lorenzo was going to be a lust-driven mmc. page one confirmed it. he flaunts his wealth by explaining that his glass of scotch is the kind only “men like him” can afford. sorry we aren’t all millionaires mate.
then he ridicules the fbi and claims they only managed to handcuff him because he allowed it. arrogant, shallow, and painfully wattpad-coded. this would’ve eaten if i were 12 and discovering dark romance for the first time, but that’s not the case.

Tem owd e para mim isso já é um grande não. Além disso, o livro é um bocado confuso em algumas partes. Ainda assim, reconheço que o plot tem potencial.

It has owd and for me that’s already a big no. Besides that, the book is a bit confusing in some parts. Still, I can recognize that the plot has potential.

Oh my lord 😮💨😮💨 This had me in a chokehold and ima need a day or year to recover from that cliffhanger 😩 I adored every single part of this story and I honestly need book two asap because my brain chemistry has been altered 🥹🖤

Tiktok glorified the book so much you'd think it's bearable at least🥲
Couldn't get past the 54th page, it's like a middle schooler wrote it for Wattpad ... Both characters are giving "pick me, choose meeeee" and are awfully annoying and shallow.
