The Silencer by Cora Rose (Unexpectedly Twisted Book #1)

TITLE: ⟫ The Silencer

AUTHOR: ⟫ Cora Rose

SERIES: ⟫ Unexpectedly Twisted Book #1

RATING: ⟫ 3/5

BLURB: ⟫ When a little harmless flirting at a biker bar suddenly takes a turn for the worse and I find myself at odds with the dangerous Fallen Aces gang, I call on the only man I know who can save me.

Anthony Costello may be a vicious mafia boss with a penchant for violence and torture, but he’s also my best friend’s father and the sexiest man I’ve ever laid eyes on. His buttoned-up demeanor and grumpy attitude only fuel my desire to take him apart. I live to push all his buttons. And though he says he’s straight, it seems Anthony may have a soft spot and possessive streak for this smart-mouthed twink. Because as war between rival gangs escalates, things between Anthony and I start to heat up. And I think I’d rather like to sit on the king’s lap to watch it all burn.

The Unexpectedly Twisted series is a rom-com mafia spin-off of the Unexpected series. It contains dark themes and triggers, please see content warnings at the beginning of each book.

REVIEW: ⟫ I think I am going to have to finally accept that my love for Cora Rose does have its’ limitations. This last year, I have struggled to finish some of her books at all, and often when I have finished them I am questioning myself as to why. I like her style of writing – when her ability to write banter, steamy sex and interesting characters are on point for me, I adore reading her work. But when any of that doesn’t quite hit me right, then generally I think I need to learn to DNF – that’s not a failing on their behalf, that’s just that it isn’t hitting my buttons. And that’s okay.

I might return to this series because I would like to know what’s going on with Angel and Mikhel, but this one didn’t hit the mark for me.
