Summary
They say everyone has a price…I just didn’t realize I was the one for sale.
I’ve always lived one day at a time. Not just because money is scarce for an orphan with no skills, but why plan ahead when the future isn’t guaranteed? The only job that pays better than waitressing at Shady Shags Dancing Palace is dancing. Except it’s not just dancing. Not in the VIP room. That’s the final boundary I refuse to cross.
Until a handsome stranger makes me an offer I can’t refuse. Because as it turns out, one thousand dollars and an offer from the hottest man I’ve ever seen is enough to have me jumping right over that line I’d drawn in the sand.
I may not be a saint, but the dark, predatory look in Jericho Diavolo’s eyes as he watches, tells me that he’s committed his own fair share of sins. Likely far darker than my own. But it’s more than that.
There’s something inhuman about him–a ferocity that is more beast than man. When he’s waiting for me after my shift ends, making claims about wolves and packs and me being the chosen one…every instinct I have tells me to run.
Turns out, that’s precisely what I shouldn’t have done. Because running gave him exactly what wanted: a chase.
My Thoughts
I love a good enemies to lovers story, a wolf shifter story, a kidnapper to lovers story, and especially a mafia story… but combining them all together?? YES!
This was a quick read for me, and really enjoyable! I love the tension between Grey and Lexi, it is so delicious and agonizing and I can’t get enough of it. Their banter. The tensions, the teasing – so so good! The miscommunication and hiding feelings drove me crazy but in a good way!
I like Lexi as a character, I only hope she gets her moment to step into her power or position in the world and take what she is owed, because I will be cheering from the sidelines for her.
I also love Grey – he is morally grey, a wolf shifter, tattooed and just overall yummy. We love a good mafia leader in training, a confident and sexy man, who knows what he wants. His teasing and taunting Lexi is so good, and when he does things that show how much he cares?? Ahhh I can’t deal.
Grey’s crew emulates found family so so well, and warms my heart to see them together.
I hope we see Violet, Lexi’s friend again at some point! And I could use a novella on Mia, I have a feeling she has a good story to tell.
Overall, Dark Wolf Soul by Heather Hildenbrand is a great start to the series and I can’t wait for book 2!
