Driven by Desire by Nikita Slater. - 5 Stars - available on KU
WARNING - There will be spoilers in this review.
The H in this book is waaaay OTT j/p. He's a non-pc caveman alpha and a mafia boss so he's not a good guy. If you don't like that type of H, you'll not like this. Also, there are **triggers**.
***TRIGGER WARNING***
There are no triggers like cheating, ow/om drama BUT there are potential triggers. The h is kidnapped by a bad guy towards the end of the book. He assaults her, drugs her, locks her in the trunk of his car (for hours on end), forces her to marry him, hits her, dry humps her, molests her, and attempts to rape her. She shoots him just as he's about to pentrate her. She's almost dead at that point from heat exhaustion (from being locked in the trunk of bad guy's car), being drugged and assaulted. The H does rescue her.
***End Triggers***
So if you're OK with all that then I think you might enjoy this one.
The book starts out with our H, the mafia boss who everyone fears (for good reason) going to the garage where the h works. (She's a mechanic.) He decides that he wants the h but she's not interested. Well, she is because he's hot but she isn't dumb. He's a bad guy and one she doesn't want to mess with. Of course our H is not used to rejection of any kind, let alone from a woman and so his pursuit begins. He invites her out, sends her a room full of flowers and the h is freaked. She turns him down and tries to be unappealing to the H (by being snarky/bitchy) but it only makes him want her more. He decides she's going to be his wife before their first date. Yeah baby! This H is very aggressive and controlling and forces the relationship on the h. She has no choice because her stalker, oh I mean the H - lol - won't take no for an answer. She is his!
This h has a backbone and fights her attraction to the H & fights his pursuit. She runs away from him (disappears as he calls it) and he's forced to track her down. It takes him about 10 days, iirc. She also argues with the H a lot. They argue on almost everything, initially. Even when they finally have sex, she continues to be true to herself. I love this type of h but I will say that she was almost too much this way. Almost. She teetered on the edge of annoying bitch imo. (Some will think she's a bitch, I'm sure.) If you don't like that type of h, you might want to steer clear but as for me, I devoured this book.
