Excuse this oncoming rant but OMFG do you know how many “mafia” romance books lure me in with sweet words in the description only for it to say anything about a mafia like ONCE in the beginning and then radio silence?? Literally just romance with the ocasional gun waved around like it’s a toy.
CMON YALL I WANT BLOOD I WANT RIVALRIES LACED WITH DEATH I WANT KIDNAPPINGS AND I WANT THE ROMANCE AND PLOT TO ACTUALLY HAVE SUBSTANCE!!!! AND ABOVE ALL, A BADASS FEMALE LEAD. AND DID I MENTION I WANT BLOODSHED BECAUSE I WANT BLOODSHED BRO.
Christ almighty PLEASSSEEE! I get furious just thinking about the amount of books that have betrayed me into thinking it was actually gonna be something good. Do I gotta write my own damn book just to get my fix or what because I’m having such a hard time finding anything worthwhile. PLEASE HELP ME I will forever be in your debt!! I will take a bullet for you man PLEASE JUST GIVE ME A CRUMB!!

Martina Cole almost exclusively writes underworld gangster crime novels set in England with strong female protagonists that have some romance and a fair bit of spice. Fair warning, there’s depictions of sexual violence and lots of dark elements too
But also, absolutely write your own too!
