Cat's Reviews > Ruined Beauty

Ruined Beauty by Cara Bianchi is one of those books that grabs a hold of you and doesn't let go. You go through so many feels while diving into this adventure.
What's a girl to do when she falls from the frying pan straight into the fire? Well Morgana finds out first hand. Morgana has always been drawn to the worst kind of man. Her first serious boyfriend made her believe he was her all and then turned into the monster of her nightmares. Then she falls for A man who she believes will give her the stars and instead expects her to use her body to make him money. Which she is about to do to help make money to pay for her mother's medical bills and hopefully pull her family out of the financial hole her dad has dug them into.
The day after her first "date" with a decrepit, disgusting, client, Morgana goes to the park to be alone, only to be attacked by two deviants. Her handsome savior turns out to be a man with his own agenda.
In order to take over the family's business, Vlad must take a wife. When he stumbles across Morgana in the park and rescues her from her attackers, he decides she will be his bride.
Will Morgana's hatred for Vlad get in the way of the marriage or will they be able to work together to live and love? Outside forces may have other ideas.
I highly recommend Ruined Beauty by Cara Bianca if you love Russian mafia stories with lots of action and just the right amount of steam.
Be for warned that there are triggers and this is a slow burn mafia romance that lights up the pages when it happens.
