Did Not Finish
September 8, 2020dnf @ chapter 5. The writing is decent, but the characterization felt shallow and I couldn't find it in myself to care about the MMCs. It's clear from the opening chapter he's been terribly wronged by Laird Cullum, but it went by so quickly I just...didn't care. The storytelling never grabbed me.
This book uses a common trope: enemies to lovers. In this case, a guy kidnapping a girl of a rival family to enact revenge. Then they fall in love. This trope has to be executed in a really creative/engaging way for me to stick with the story. I see this all the time in Mafia/MC books and typically give them a pass in those genres too.
