5/12/2023 0 Comments Ronan the darkest temptationas we moved into the second act, i almost had to stop reading. i teared up i felt my belly twist in rage. it sucked me right in and made my heart race, and it completely transported me to Moscow alongside Mila.Īnd as the story unfolded, as the sucker punch of Ronan’s cruel, twisted intentions fully came to light, i got nauseous. both Mila and Ronan were SO deeply flawed, and even in this world of mafia romance and fanaticism, there was something real about that. in that way, i thought this book was Danielle Lori’s strongest. her sunshine smile, her yellow wardrobe, her warm heart, and wanting to love so much that it ends up hurting her. i understand people’s criticisms of her character-she’s blindly optimistic, she’s too trusting, she makes mistakes, and she’s imperfect-but that’s why i fell in love with her. more than Miami, more than The Moorings, more than being married off to a man who doesn’t love her. from the get-go, she was imperfect, but so wholly intent on her life meaning something more. i fell in love with Elena and her sweet romanticism, i adored Gianna for her sarcasm and softness, but i fell the hardest for Mila. I’m a character reader, first and foremost. i went through turmoil alongside Mila-through her determination to find her father, her journey to Russia, her optimism and kindness in the face of adversity, and in how she loves, wide open and without restraint. it’s in the title, it’s in all the content warnings, and it’s true to it, through and through.
