Asher Black by Parker S. Huntington
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was given this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Asher Black is the owner of multiple corporations, clubs, hotels and a former 'fixer' for the mafia. Lucy is a college student with a rough past who calls the police when she sees a man with a gun at a nightclub. Asher tracks her down a month later and turns her into his fake fiance.

This is my first mafia romance and I have to say, I didn't think I'd be that into it when I first started this book, but it was a trip. It was funny and romantic and exciting. I loved that Lucy grew up bouncing from one foster home to another and ended up becoming a very strong woman instead of a mess. I also loved that Asher wasn't a total womanizer, nor was he the dominant 'boss' that you'd expect from someone in his position with his status. They worked well together and there was no insta-love, which was a nice relief. This was a very, very slow burn, which made it so much better. Lovely work, Ms. Huntington.
