Evil men are searching for me.Gideon Byrne is my salvation.
Cold. Cruel. And handsome beyond measure.
He should scare me.His possessive desire should make me run.But I stay.

I’m falling in love with a monster.And I refuse to stop.
Gideon Byrne is many things.Predator. Enemy.Protector. Lover.
Only one question remains…Is he my villain or my savior?

Sinful Crown by Ava Harrison is an enemies to lovers romance. Gideon, our hero, has those super possessive “touch her and die” vibes for sure. It starts as a promise to a dying friend and ends with Gideon deciding he is too attracted to Sasha to let her go. Throw in the mafia ties and crazy danger and you have a pretty provocative read!

While Sasha is a bit hapless, she isn’t timid. She doesn’t take too much crap from Gideon. But it isn’t just Gideon who is attracted; Sasha feels it too and they build a really strong relationship. Given Gideon’s profession, there is lots of danger. Given Gideon’s dirty mouth, there is lots of sexy times.

I was sucked in pretty early, but the later part of the story seemed to drag. It went from lighting fast to crawling. Maybe it was just me? I had something similar happen with another recent mafia read. That is really my only complaint about the story. Ava Harrison is a new to me author and I enjoyed Sinful Crown overall.
